Cricket Vic and Aus in discussion with Indian investors to set up another BS 20/20 comp here in Aus.

No thanks tell these people to keep their filthy mits outta our game and tell em to get stuffed we dont want these corrupt and inept people with a hand in our domestic competition.

Fair dinkum these people are going to destroy world cricket.

Domestic cricket aint worth much $$$ wise, but to inflate the costs and then fill the domestic sides with international players will destroy the fabric of Australian Cricket and development of juniors.

I follow Victoria not the Melbourne Samosas.

Dead set cricket is on a fast track to irrelevance.

now they're saying this new 20/20 comp will replace the traditional one day series usually held in january. this is just one big joke imo. cricket can *smile*. forza melbourne victory i say.

Yeah true Phil. never known a bowler to get wickets with such poor balls as Johnson. & he does it consistently.

Yep, and given the way he bowled in the last Ashes Series, I don't think the Poms will see him as a threat at all. He needs to bowl well.

It has now officially replaced the 'old' big bash comp as of next season I presume.

8 city franchises. Launceston Legionnaires...hmmm :hihi Hope the Comets are dead and buried!

Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Hobart...... any takers on the last two?
 
Good to see the Aussie selectors aiming to reward form.

Hussey and Norths dismal form continued in shield today.

Hussey got a Golden Gozza and North 10.

Both should be dropped and Haddin shouldnt be given free ride back in either.

Clarke shouldnt even be in the 20/20 side let alone captain fair dinkum.
 
Puts increased pressure to score on his partner.

Not a 20/20 batsmen, id rather see Blizzard opening for Aus in 20/20.

Clarke isn't a 20/20 opener.

Duck out of water. Big time.
Not only isn't he a 20/20 opener, he isn't a 20/20 batsman full stop.

White should captain the T20 team and Clarke should be dropped.

Hussey golden duck and 3 in shield cannot be selected on form only on jobs for the boys.

You watch he (and North) get selected for the 1st test. They'll say North got a ton in his last test and Hussey still averages 50 in test cricket ( or some feeble excuse like that)
