This is a PSA. The BBL (big bash league) starts tonight at 7:30 with Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Stars. I know what youse are thinking yeah we love cricket but for those who have never watched it's a 20/20 game that's quick, fun and you get to watch a lot of slogs into the stands for charity.
Some players are mic-ed up and have a little banter with the commentators for a real feel good game. So guys get on it and support one of our Melbourne teams. Either the Melbourne Stars (green) or the Melbourne Renegades (red).
P.s. Stars home ground is the MCG. The Renegades is at Marvel. Melbourne and Sydney are the only 2 states to have 2 teams in the comp.
I'm a Renegades guy purely because I live right next to Marvel Stadium. I didn't go to any matches last year but I'll try to get downstairs for at least a couple this year!
I'm a Renegades fan too! The man is a Stars fan so there's always a bit of banter going on. I'm gonna try to get to a few games this year as well.
I hope they're as entertaining as the women's league. I do love the banter they provide in the WBBL. Grace Harris is a cracker.
Also test cricket starts next week on Thursday at 1pm in Perth.
