I was enjoying the Channel 10 commentary until KP joined.

Not sure how you can dislike KP! Junior's tiring though.

For some reason the way he talks reminds me of Donald Trump  :o

Geez how many times have fielders been 1m away from a Lynn skyball? Must be some sort of record

The Big Bash game on mobile is pretty fun for those curious and/or interested in it.

Is conceding 386 and being bundled out for 122 on the hardest difficulty something I should expect to get? Just won on Pro in the first game thought I should up it to Legend and that happened... Fricken slower balls got me out and every ball I bowled managed to get wrecked, including back foot pulls to my full Yorkers outside off going deep into the square leg crowd. :o

The slower balls are the only thing that I struggle with. Legend is pretty difficult I've found.

Also this Sixers choke is hard to watch.

Yeah the boys! Can't believe Laughlin was dropped for our last game

Yep it's that extreme change of pace that gets me. So 122 was a fluke and I haven't managed 40 in the next 4 games. I have bowled better game on game though and rolled the Stars for just over 120. Just need to find a way to bat for more than 5 overs...

[Bill Manspeaker]

oh KP that's a brilliant catch

Massive fan of the utilisation of Narine at the top of the order for a team like the Renegades. The Renegades have one super batsman in Finch, and having an aggressor at the other end from the start allows him to settle into his work. Narine lasts 3/4 overs, giving Finch the time to get going, by the time Harris comes in at 3 he is set and ready to rumble and a solid partnership can begin.

I play mostly behind the wicket, helps counter the pace variations.

As for bowling, just swing the ball ridiculous amounts, swipe your finger forwards at pace, then take a sharp left or right turn.

Each opposition batsman has their own weakness, if they are knocking you around the park bowling full, drop back short of a length, just a matter of figuring out which works for each batsman, and vice versa.

Something about Damien Fleming using terms that he claims to have invented ("bowlology" etc) really bugs me :P Like, we get it, you were a good bowler when you played cricket, and these terms are catchy, no need to use it one every over
