I notice the Australian Big Bash has started and is on BT Sport. It's another event Sky Sports has lost. Sky a losing a lot of events these days.
 


Sky are a waste of time. They created these dedicated channels then immediately appeared to lose a lot of contracts. Some of the documentaries are canny, but I'm bored of the same stuff just being repeated constantly.

I think that they've got the SA v Pakistan series starting Boxing Day

The cricket channel is woeful for that - constant documentaries and master classes - which are good dont get me wrong but when you've seen them 4 or 5 times they get boring!

I used to as well but I agree. Thought it was just me having less time watch most games these days.

Suspected it would start to waver with the extra fixtures. Crowds seem to be down this year as well.

Aye, they've been poor but on the flip side Buttler and Tom Curran have been very good. Root looks like he's trying way too hard to be a 20 over player when all he has to do is play his normal game and just play slightly more aggressively as his innings progresses imo.

Anyone know why Adil Rashid isn't there, he was brilliant the last time he was in it?

Sydney Thunder's overall attendance from their 3 home games so far doesn't even scratch 40,000 :oops:

Said before that the bubble is starting to burst on T20 leagues.
 
I've enjoyed it whenever I've watched it (every morning between xmas and new year). The only part I don't like is Tuffers commentating trying to be entertaining.
 
Watching today's offering "as live". Looks like a contest and close finish at last. All too one sided so far. Everyone has been beating everyone but the games themselves have been shite.
