After impressive stints in the Pakistan Super League and the ongoing Caribbean Premier League, Pakistan's 18-year-old legspinner Shadab Khan has signed with the Brisbane Heat for the seventh season of the Big Bash League, starting December 19.

Shadab replaces West Indies legspinner Samuel Badree, who took 14 wickets in 13 matches for the Heat, at an economy rate of 6.42, between 2015 and 2017. Shadab joins his CPL team-mate from Trinbago Knight Riders - Brendon McCullum - as the franchise's second overseas player.

so is nasir 2bh, thats 3 dud batsmen, amazing to think mominul wasnt even in the squad originally until mossadek dropped out, what are your selectors thinking

>>77975608
Soumya is a fucking meme, ruining Imrul's chances time after time because he's the coache's favourite in the team. It should be Imrul who get's to open with Tamim. Also Sabbir isn't even test player, he's more suited for pyjama cricket than anything else.

I'm an American who was at Edgbaston today taking in his first live cricket match. Seeing Jesus and pals negotiate the release of the beach ball is a sporting memory I will not soon forget.
This begs the question: where did the tradition of "fancy dress" at a cricket match come from? This is not something I was aware of before coming to the match today, and it was a pleasant surprise to say the least! Has this always been a thing in cricket? Where did it start? Is it mainly an English thing?

going to sleep goodnight, remember you will NEVER know as much about test cricket as me

So all the hot debate seems to be around how the fuck england fill up those huge holes in their batting lineup, they've tried like 27 guys over the last few years and aside from Root the only ones who have even averaged 30 are Ballance (exposed) and Hameed (spooked)
Why are we ignoring that they have a #7, #8 and #9 that ALL average above 30? And it's not as if that's from a small sample size either. Woakes is a fuckload better than Westley, why can't he bat 3? Is it because they're all "attacking" batsmen and therefore are better off down the order? Being an "attacking allrounder" that averages 32 is far more effective than a "proper batsman" that averages 21. Woakes is hardly Shahid Afridi, he can block, and I'd bet my bottom dollar he'd at least do a better job than bloody James Vince did

Okay. Let's see what's happen since then.

<<<From 2016.

Cricket's participation has dropped by 40%, while footy has remained about steady.

You just have to deal with it, Bruce "Baz" McDonald.

>>77986351
>soccer first
>golf second

this definitely reflects australian sporting interests

>>77986365
Mate everyone over the age of 40 plays golf at least casually

>>77986379
they might go to the driving range once every year if they're lucky
that also doesn't translate to people who actually follow professional golf

>>77986370
Is there a reason why the big cash league doesn't publish membership numbers?

That's what the image is about, hence why every kid playing wogball occasionally puts it on top

It's a dumb image to use for that guys agenda though

>>77986385
doubt it, they always sell out

>>77986391
yeah I know, that's why I was pointing out how stupid it is

>>77986370
>>77986373

Jeez, Gazza, you should know that footy fans follow EPL or La Liga. No self-respecting fan would watch A-League.

My family is European so you're preaching to the choir here. I don't care about any of the Australian boganball sports.

I simply feel compelled to respond when I see tripe spouted by dimwitted hacks such as yourself,.

>>77986396
how pathetic

Execute all wogs

shall start t. wognaming if this continues

>>77986396
If by "follow la liga" you mean occasionally watch Real or Barca play in the champions league

Soccer is a cheap and easy sport to play, that's why it does so well on an amateur level here

the wogs are getting BTFO lads

>>77986441
>the wogs are getting BTFO lads

Nah. Cricket got BTFO. They know their days are numbered.

love all the massive crowds you get at swimming races, it's definitely one of the biggest sports in australia and the participation numbers are a testament to this

Personally I'm not overly enamoured by the European football leagues. They are commercialised to the point of having no meaning.

For me the appeal of sport has always been the 'best of us against the best of them' factor. The complete globalisation of club football has made that lose all meaning. Even at the international level those lines are being tested (cricket included in that point).

I watch the odd big game as those matches are clearly of the highest quality. But I do not understand how customers like daniel (in his case with spicswing) draw much value from these globalised sporting competitions.

winter /cric/ is best

you footy fags are a bunch retards shitting this place up

fuck you all

t. freshest of freshies

>>77986456
Swimming is the only sport where you can piss yourself and nobody will care

>>77986460
I agree entirely with this minus the "I watch the big game" shit.

I like domestic cricket because I can get behind my state and players from my state. I like footy for similar reasons, even if there are lots of players nabbed from other footy states. When the entire fucking team is just foreign signings from South America and French East Africans I don't see how anyone can become remotely interested in the game

>>77986460
>They are commercialised

How else are you supposed to pay 200m dollar salaries?

Ticket sales ain't enough, mate.

Maybe if clubs weren't making promises they couldn't keep they wouldn't have to (((commercialise))) everything. Obviously that won't happen though because (((football))) is literally being used as one big slush fund and every other worldwide sport is going to follow suit. Why? Because (((shekels))) are more important than the entertainment and once that happens stops being entertaining because the entertaining part has to take a backseat to (((profit))).

>uses 3 different styles of bowling and still has an elite average
>this means he's shit at all of them
that mech e degree sure did him good

>>77985618
So he was good enough to bowl in three different ways to an international standard in every single one of them and Daniel reckons that this meant he wasn't talented?

What a fucking meme. To be able to bowl anything other than pies as a spinner takes talent. To be able to bowl above 120 kph takes talent.

a cricket match CANNOT be decided over one innings, cricket only realises itself in first-class form, all other imitations of the beautiful game are simply invalid

arleigh braithwaite knew this, that's why he masterminded the great windies revivial of the 2020s through his masterpiece of a son kraigg

it's Birmingham which has a very high Asian population, so it's prudent to accommodate the locals with culturally sensitive sanitation facilities

The batting captain can choose to change tracks in the middle of a game for tactical reasons (called a silly shift) , some play differently from others

Do not see the point of international sport if anyone can represent any country
