Who Is Liked In The Big Bash

Today I found out that Big Bash League is now following me on twitter and as a return in favour I have to make mention of their website and an amazing statistic being published there.

The BBL has posted a table of the teams and allowed fans to "like" their favourite team.  Now Sydeny and Melbourne are always going on about how sport evolves around their cities but it seems that the Australian landscape says otherwise.  Take a look at the table it is looks like it will be hard to get tickets at the Gabba.

1. Brisbane Heat   23,997
2. Melbourne Stars 8,464
3. Melbourne Renegades  6,280
4. Sydney Sixers  4,413
5. Sydney Thunder 3,893
6. Perth Scorchers  3,158
7. Hobart Hurricanes 2,555
8. Adelaide Strikers 2,227

Now this is what the table looked like at the time of writing this article.  Even if you combine the two Sydney or Melbourne teams Brisbane would still be on top. In fact Brisbane is higher than all four combined, Queensland for me are the true sporting state.

There i plenty of other good information to be found at this site and it is worth checking out.  The BBL starts December 16 and will be bigger than any Twenty/20 season so far.
