Interesting BH.What are your thoughts??

Pretty cheap on Fox Sports behalf GTR but to be honest this Big Bash season has been rather forgettable, far too long, average pitches, average crowds etc...so Fox Sports are probably showing as much interest as everyone else by phoning in the commentary!

Usman Qadir the Perth Scorchers International recruit. Has got himself in a bit of trouble.Driving around in a loan car off one of the Scorchers sponsors. Was caught doing 50kms over the legal speed limit.The sponsors car has been impounded for 90 days by the police.
Mazda are the only car company who sponsor the Scorchers. So Usmans loan car ,Mazda has lost for 90 days.zoom,zoom.

Don't think he will be at the Scorchers next year. They need to get some better international players.

Mike he looks like a good red ball bowler.He gets great turn and bounce.But bowling bail height and short.In T20 he can be cut,pulled easily.Bit harder to hit straight what T20 batsman like doing..

The HEAT is on as they SMASH 158 in 10 overs & lose no wickets.
Unusual opening with Cutting as McCullum & Lynn watching.

Disappointing for McCullum not to get a final hit at the Gabba.But he's a great team man and would of been happy.Best ever Powerplay in the BBL.

Who do Nannes and Hodge commentate for?...Nannes is awful, first time I have the pleasure of listening to him.....is he with Fox?....interesting selection of Terry.....Surely some local youngster would of been a better bet......any in local cricket worthy a bash...esp for the future in mind.

Said before here, Nannes is the most boring off key commentator around. Would be better on a Dorothy Dix program.
Anyway, thank God the BBL is over for the year. (For me anyway). Been a long, disappointing season.

Spot on Freeze and 58 in regards to Nannes who is truly dreadful on the ABC as well...god knows why he is a special comments man on the Test Matches as didnt he only play T20 cricket?...and his cohort on Aunty the one eyed baggy blue man Jim Maxwell should have hung up the microphone years ago!

Yup heard Nannes before as well. Know all who comes over as a smart a$$
