Daniel Worrall is so well-regarded by the Melbourne Stars that they handed him the keys to their bowling attack without a second thought last night https://t.co/74kUvoy3fk #BBL08 pic.twitter.com/MZfsi4AHlk

This whole Seven/Fox free to air/pay cricket thing really isn’t working, is it.
Could not agree more. I got so used to games not being shown on 7 that I didn’t even bother to check if it was on. I can’t be the only one.
Show all games on free to air. Fox – you are a dying. Give up already and stop ruining sport for everyone else. Give it back to free-to-air.
This is so far wrong. Cricket has being going brilliantly on FOX SPORTS
Um Gogglebox was the highest non news program beating the BBL
Thanks Sean,
We’ve fixed that mistake. Thank you for picking it up.
Cheers,
