So I think the time has come to get into BBL. I have adopted the Melbourne stars because... Melbourne, stars, and green. And they are playing right this minute.
BBL fans am I going to regret this adoption? A cricket team is not just for Christmas, I know...
Omg lol showing my millenial-ness - I read that as short for Brazilian Butt Lift π
A BBL isn't just for Christmas, it's for life
Hahahaha
After all the Christmas food and wine I need many lifts but I will stick to cricket for now

I thought the same thing, lol
I'm literally sitting in Optus Stadium, waiting for the BBL Scorchers v. Heat game to start. It's definitely a spectator game.
It feels like the final hours of a One Day match where you are chasing a run rate of 6-8 per over. All game. Games only go for about 3 hours total. A little longer than an AFL game.
Love it when the Scorchers play at home coz it means we get 2 games. It's been an action packed day today.
It was a fun game. We have family visiting from Brisbane and Canberra. Twelve of us all went together. Great family bonding.
Look they are travelling a bit shit lately but when you pick a team, you stick with them through the wins and the losses. That's what makes it exciting.
Thanks!
You've still got a few good players in there. Maxwell. Siddle. Stoinis.
As long as we beat Sydney tonight I will take it as a good sign
This may not have been the night to jump on board....
Ummm
