We give a run down of the Big Bash League stadiums for the 2021-22 season. The BBL is Australia's premier T20 cricket competition. Thanks for watching!
You are building quite a collection of stadia. The Melbourne arenas are the most spectacular for me. Only been in one of these venues. Way back in the 70s when the Aussies tonked the Poms in the first Ashes Test at a very warm Gabba. Jeff Thomson was a blur in that game.
If you’re in the US, try either the Willow add-on package for SlingTV, or Willow by itself, or ESPN+. They don’t all carry the same matches / teams. TH-cam also has channels for New Zealand Cricket and Cricket South Africa that carry domestic (non-International, not ICC) matches. Also Lauderhill Park in Fort Lauderdale FL usually hosts a couple of West Indies T20’s in August every year. They also have several Caribbean Premier League matches.

Hey, I have 3 video ideas: (Would be very happy if you make on of these) 1. Your top 10 favorite stadiums in the world (Most needed) 2. Cricket grounds which have been demolished (Cz once you said they are immortal in a video) 3. Cricket grounds then and now (Would be interesting to me) 😊
The BBL is on tv here in the USA occasionally and I love watching! Hope to see a some in person if the wacky government becomes less authoritarian someday.
All these stadiums are firstly Australian Rules football stadia which is played on a large oval field . If cricket had cricket only grounds then maybe the maximum capacity would be 30,000
Some info re the Sydney Olympic Baseball Park or Spotless Stadium as it is now called. If viewed from above a "teardrop" shape can be observed which is the shape of most baseball parks. Home plate and the infield diamond were located at the Main Stadium end. Some of what were the outfield bleachers are now covered stands. It was first used for the Intercontinental Cup played in 1999 between eight nations as the Olympic Test Event. This Stadium was not used for the 2014 Major League Baseball season opener between the Dodgers and Diamondbacks due to the space. Instead the SCG was magnificiently converted by MLB and a three games series with full capacity eventuated. NSW Baseball is housed at the Blacktown Olympic Park in a three field complex along side a NSW Softball complex of four fields.
Not knocking the sport but to this day I still don't get Cricket. I watched several games, read the rules, played it a couple of times before with some of the Indian neighbors, at the time, whenever I could here in the States to get an understanding but I just don't get it. I tried!
Atleast you tried, some people just hate it cause it seemed to boring to them, you will learn more about cricket as you watch it. But ngl if you had not watched cricket from childhood it is very difficult to understand the game.
My childhood consisted of (in order by my favorite and played the most growing up) 🏈, 🏒, 🏀, and ⚾️. I'm always willing to give any other sport a shot but as I get older the less I'm willing to learn a new sport. But of course, I do watch Australian Rules Football whenever's on here late at night/early in the morning. I'm learning it little by little at a slow pace but it is very interesting in my book.
The BBL runs alongside the Test Cricket in Australia, sometimes the big stadiums are used up by the national team playing test cricket and so the BBL teams need to play somewhere else.
The teams are franchise operations with Cricket Australia having controlling interest. Sme as any major sport, each tean has it's own stadium with games played on a home and away basis. As Trinh states priority is given to the Test playing stadiums whenever potential clashes eventuate. The BBL season is primarily played during the school holiday period around Christmas.
Ok, video was great and all, but any anyone explain to me (an American) the KFC bucket hats at 2:08? I've seen the same thing in New Zealand rugby matches. Is it just a promotional thing? How long has it been going? Is it a new thing or is it a long tradition?
KFC are pretty big Australia, and sponsor(ed) cricket matches before. When I went to the WACA in 2017 there was a promo on that if you caught a 6 in the crowd whilst wearing a KFC hat you got a prize
@@BostonUnitedFM Thank you for the explanation. I figured it was a promotional thing, but is it still one? Or is it now just a cultural thing. Is it the same in New Zealand?
@@josephj9828 yes they still sponsor sports and run promotions. however it is also a mini cultural thing, atleast here in australia. aus and nz don’t have a wide variety of fast food so kfc is probably widely considered the best, and the kfc bucket hat is just a funny creative way to watch a sport with mates… people do all sorts of things with them. hope that helps
They taste really good if fried in a light oil with some seasoning and topped off with Worcestershire sauce. Nice and crunchy. If you are visiting Singapore or Vietnam visit the street food markets.
Ah the bucket list
Boxing Day at the MCG with England in town !
90,000 on hand , the Barmy Army , the Richie’s , Bay 13 .
Love this league....I saw one of the last games at the WACA on January 1st, 2018 and I loved it loved it loved it

Not watch Australian Cricket, the Adelaide Oval looks so pretty and elegant.
So you can watch aussie cricket
Not only present matches
You can also want to watch old iconic matches
The Adelaide Oval is still the best stadium in Australia. I love the ‘G too, being a Melburnian, but man the scoreboard and the hill are the best.
I love the SCG when watching the Cricket, absolutely love it, but I hate it when watching Rugby Union/League unfortunately
Thanks for that great review of the BBL stadiums
Thanks for watching!
You should do all major cricket leagues stadiums
Man, I love learning more about cricket. I'll have to look up where I can watch some games.

Optus Stadium looks real nice
After IPL BBL Is Second Best
Indeed and one can always differentiate between Aussie and sub-Continental stadia by the fact that the spectators are not caged in.
@@flamingfrancis because in subcontinent fans are crazy. Same cage you can find in German Bundesliga,serieA, Argentina nd Brazil football leagues
Ipl ruined cricket
I Think When He Said Gabba
I Was Expecting The Gabbatoriar Breach
Gabba Test Match 15-19 January
India Tour Of Australia 2020-21
Oh
I Forgot
He's An Australian
We do not speak of the Gabbatoir breach
"India breached Fortress of Gabba" is still my favourite moment in Test Cricket ❤
Optus stadium and MCG are my favorites in Aus
Have you done the County Cricket stadiums in England? If not, can you?
Hey, I have 3 video ideas:
(Would be very happy if you make on of these)
1. Your top 10 favorite stadiums in the world (Most needed)
2. Cricket grounds which have been demolished (Cz once you said they are immortal in a video)
3. Cricket grounds then and now (Would be interesting to me)
😊
Can you do IPL and CPL
Great humour in every vids👍
Could you do ahl arenas and Canadian university football stadiums please
The BBL is on tv here in the USA occasionally and I love watching! Hope to see a some in person if the wacky government becomes less authoritarian someday.
2024 t20 wc is being hosted in USA and west indies, so may be you could watch it in person.
I’m going to GMHBA Stadium to see a Renegades game there in 2022 and I’m so excited!
All these stadiums are firstly Australian Rules football stadia which is played on a large oval field .
If cricket had cricket only grounds then maybe the maximum capacity would be 30,000
love ❤ from Dubai
I gotta keep asking but WAC-ASUN conference?
Not the Gabba that is my fav cricket stadium
Can you do NRL stadiums?

p.s....is that a couple of hounds in training running around the outfield fence at Woolloongabba?
Do the Mario Super Strikers stadiums!
I would like to see the xfl stadiums in the future for the return in 2023.Audi Field is my favorite
Can you do NRL stadiums
Is the mectricon also Stars' secondary home?
I know nothing bout cricket but the stadiums were nice
Hope this helps th-cam.com/video/LCknl0gtJSg/w-d-xo.html
@@BRNOOB_ interesting
@@ralphwilliams2396 I'm glad that you found that interesting, there are some other minor rules too but you'll get them once you start watching it :)
Not knocking the sport but to this day I still don't get Cricket. I watched several games, read the rules, played it a couple of times before with some of the Indian neighbors, at the time, whenever I could here in the States to get an understanding but I just don't get it. I tried!

There's plenty of tutorial on yt, you can also play the big bash league mobile game to understand a lil bit (cause that's simpler than other games)
Adelaide Oval is best but now Gabba is my favorite because indian cricket team breached it
Do the stadiums in Mexico’s 2nd Division La Liga De Expansion there is some nice stadiums
TIL the SCG is older than the MCG. I just assumed the MCG was older because it hosted the first Test
Manuka Oval is pronounced slight differently to the honey: Ma-ne-ka Oval
Is the track at the Optus similar to the WACA ?
You know it’s scary to bat on when the keeper is further away from the batsman than the bowler !!!
No. It's a standard drop in pitch that doesn't have the character of the old WACA
Please can you do on For The South African
Mzansi Super League the T20 for South Africa
Great Video Man!
Are you a Stars or Renegades fan?
Cheers! Stars unfortunately.
@@TheWideWorldofStadiums hey, I'm also a stars fan! 🤩✋
Just letting you know GMHBA Stadium was built in 1942 👍
Can't wait for Cricket Australia to add some stupid new rule or not advertise games on TV again
What is Australia's national pastime? Here in the USA it was baseball until a few years ago. I like rugby. I could never understand cricket.
2:46 happened twice in one game last night
Why is the Hobart Hurricane's logo a tornado? lol
XD
Like I said in the video, they never get hurricanes down there, so they don't know what they look like. Then again they don't get tornadoes either.
If you view it while standing on your head the issue is resolved.
All those stadiums look great, but can you get a vegemite sandwich at any of them?
So as an American I dont get it. What is the reasoning behind having these auxiliary stadiums for these BBL teams?
The BBL runs alongside the Test Cricket in Australia, sometimes the big stadiums are used up by the national team playing test cricket and so the BBL teams need to play somewhere else.
The teams are franchise operations with Cricket Australia having controlling interest. Sme as any major sport, each tean has it's own stadium with games played on a home and away basis. As Trinh states priority is given to the Test playing stadiums whenever potential clashes eventuate. The BBL season is primarily played during the school holiday period around Christmas.
@@thinhnonyt thank you!

@@josephj9828 I don't know, sorry. I've only been to Australia once, and never New Zealand
@@BostonUnitedFM No worries. Thank you for your insight.
@@josephj9828 yes they still sponsor sports and run promotions. however it is also a mini cultural thing, atleast here in australia. aus and nz don’t have a wide variety of fast food so kfc is probably widely considered the best, and the kfc bucket hat is just a funny creative way to watch a sport with mates… people do all sorts of things with them. hope that helps
Drake's favorite league
No inflatable sauce bottles? Disappointing. I thought that was commonplace in Australia
I wonder what KFC tastes like in Australia
In cricket only Australia have good stadiums
South Asian stadiums are so poor
And English cricket stadiums are too light
What is cricket?
The second most popular spirt in world
A bug if you don't care, a sport if you do.
It's shit sport

@@flamingfrancis lol 😂
IDE love to eatch/listen to a bbl match, but living in the us ide literally have to get up in the middle of the night
