Ive caught a few games lately. I'm watching live now, Sixers/Hurricanes. Haven't watched much Cricket in the past, but I've enjoyed these so far.
They are great to watch for sure! Heaps of action, it's a slogfest really! ðŸ'ðŸ»
Heaps of fours and sixes, lots of catches deep in the outfield, there's a lot to like about the short form of the game.
ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»
Boxing Day test starts tomorrow kopf!
Ung will be drooling, the crazy cricketer he is!
It's certainly not as entertaining as one day cricket (50 overs each side) or the BBL.
I think the BBL is on Boxing Day also??
...just checked the fixture! Yep BBL is on tomorrow night. ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»
Watching kopf??

Watching kopf??
They didn't broadcast the game here.
Next live broadcast I get here is on the 28th. Sydney Thunder vs Brisbane. 0200
Righto!
I thought you got every game.
0200! Will you be recording it or watching it live?
I'll watch it live as much as possible. My schedule shows a game on the 31st and 4th as well. Both games are 0200 also.
So 0200 until, about 0500??
Getting ready to start.
Must be into the last hour or so by now! ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»
Don't know if you caught tonight's game kofp. It was a ripper of a game.
Adelaide/Sydney Sixers getting ready to start. [popcorn]
First ball over the fence had them playing this song at the stadium.

That's a regular number for sure! Great track too!
Brisbane v Perth replay is getting ready to start.
Good to see you're still interested! ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»
The shorter format makes it much more fun to watch. I'm hooked.
I didn't like it at first, but have had to concede that the short form of the game is very entertaining!

I could see that' if you're used to the original game. Folks here would never watch the multiple day games. (Few, but most don't have the patience) I'll have to work on some of the local Bogans, and try and peak their interest...... "Hey Butch, c'mere and check this shit out. You can make the beast with two backsing hit the damn ball in any direction, and ya ain't gotta run around the bases!"
That's a pretty good few lines for a sell right there kopf! Lol!
Hobart vs Perth is on. [popcorn]
Brisbane vs Sixers semifinal (replay) is on. This is great stuff. [clap]
So you're a convert to our leather on willow game??
Oh, I'm in. I've caught some more replays, and I'm getting the hang of it. I'm still learning the little details. I've also bookmarked an 'Aussie Cricket Slang' website. :D
Picked up a ball.

Nice work. ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»
Did you pick it up in a sport shop in the US or online?
What brand is it? Is it a two or four piece ball? Looks like a two piece but I'm not sure from the pic.
In any case, it's great you're onboard! 😉
Bloody hard eh. Imagine that hitting you at 90 mph.
It's a Kshhvaku. I picked it up online. I believe it's two piece.
It would sting if it hit you at 90mph, not unlike being hit by a MLB pitcher throwing a baseball at 100, without any padding. ;)
I saw what you did right there! Lol!

No wonder they fight.
