The Big Bash kicked off in Oz, Tasmania actually, today. Hobart Hurricanes beat the Sydney Sixers by 16 runs. A number of changes to the format of the game including a bonus point to the side with most runs after 10 overs, use of a substitute and 4 powerplay overs at the start of the innings instead of 6 with the other 2 used after 10 overs. Might seem a bit complicated, but isn’t. My money, as usual, is on the Melbourne Stars. Well worth a watch, most games starting at 8-15am on BT Sports, our time.
