Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

Still on a high after the world cup final?
Still emotionally knackered after a particularly tense WC FL?
Still chuntering away about how badly your WC players performed, if indeed they were allowed to play at all?
well fear not...... you can do it all again for the latest edition of the BBL

Who knows what new innovations Cricket Australia will introduce for this year's tournament. 5 ball overs perhaps? Teams comprising of completely separate batting and fielding XI's with another specialist XI who come on for free hits? One match played on the streets of Las Vegas? An additional power play over available to the fielding side where the batters have to reverse their bats and try to score using only the handle?

Fortunately for everyone's sanity the FL rules never change

Squads
Crapinfo are still in shock over the world cup and Cricket Australia can't think about anything else, so no squads available right this minute, but as soon as I find something, I'll post it

first match starts 7th December at 0815 GMT which might be something like 1815 local time. Start thinking about your teams......you know you want to
