The big bash league so far

Stuart MacGill brought the intensity of his prime to the BBL

The Big Bash League has so far incited plenty of interest from myself. Originally I thought the BBL would be a flop and merely serve as a poor imitation of the IPL. However, I have so far been impressed. The matches have been exciting for the most part. Players have stood up and demonstrated some glorious performances with relevance to the state of the Australian side. Such performances have come in the way of Warner's hundred and Marsh's 99 not out. Let us also not forget the solid displays from some former greats. Warne, Hayden, Hogg, MacGill and co. have all shown glimpses of their prime and brought an intensity to the game many would not have anticipated.

So far I've enjoyed the exploits of the BBL. Hopefully it remains entertaining without it's Australian stars.
