Hiring Salman Butt as a commentator is just absolutely disgusting.

As there is currently a significant legal dispute between The Board of Control for Cricket in India (which owns and controls the commercial rights in the Indian Premier League) and the company through which Network Ten secured the Australian broadcast rights, Network Ten has decided NOT to broadcast the IPL.
The matter is currently before the Court in India so we will not be making any further comments at this time.
I'm actually kind of pleased with that, no conflict for F1 broadcasts! Not happy there is a dispute over such a basic thing, though, seems like typical cricket rubbish. I feel like the administration of cricket in almost every Test nation is a crooked and inept as FIFA is. And that sucks.DeSo said:IPL not being shown in Aus this year.
Why do new sports teams always have such stupid names? Anyway, apparently I need to barrack for Strikers? What the hell does that have to do with cricket? Might be amusing to see the Liberal leaning Adelaide residents barrack FOR strikers thoughjustin.au said:http://cricket.com.au/news-display/BBL-team-names-and-colours/24677
What the hell is CA doing? Not only are the names of the teams worse than those competing in the IPL, they have completely ruined the colours (SA is blue, Vic is red & green, Qld is teal, etc.). I presume they are doing this because they want it to stop being about state vs. state, and about team vs. team, but the colours are an integral part of state cricket.
Anyhow, I guess I'm a Renegades fan (Etihad is much easier for me to get to and from than the G), and I hope the BBL doesn't crash and burn. As light-hearted as T20 is, I liked the Big Bash and apart from the odd day at an empty G for a Sheffield match, it was the only state cricket I went to the ground to watch.
You serious?Dead Man said:Why do new sports teams always have such stupid names? Anyway, apparently I need to barrack for Strikers? What the hell does that have to do with cricket? Might be amusing to see the Liberal leaning Adelaide residents barrack FOR strikers though

The batsman facing the ball. What's he called?
But seriously, enjoy the new and improved South Australian cricket team.*

[QUOTE=justin.au]It just struck me: they changed all the colours around and introduced newer, shittier ones because they want to sell a truck-load of merch.
I feel stupid now.[/QUOTE]
Not as stupid as me. FUCK. Still a stupid name though.
Agreed there.Dead Man said:Not as stupid as me. FUCK. Still a stupid name though.

It's better than other rumours going around that suggested it would become an incredibly partisan 24-hour news network.Dead Man said:Really? Fuckitty fuck fuck.
