Badree praises Cricket Australia

by

20170121

West In­dies leg-spin­ner Samuel Badree has come out in praise of Crick­et Aus­tralia (CA) for or­gan­is­ing what he de­scribes as a 'su­per' tour­na­ment in speak­ing about the on­go­ing Big Bash.

Badree who has been con­tract­ed to play for the Bris­bane Heat is not play­ing these days due to in­jury but has had a won­der­ful time 'Down Un­der'.

Speak­ing to Guardian Me­dia Sport from Bris­bane he said: "This is a su­per tour­na­ment that keeps grow­ing every year. It is amaz­ing to see the crowds that show up but not sur­pris­ing as the pack­age de­liv­ered to them is quite spec­tac­u­lar." The mas­sive Aussie grounds are near packed on any giv­en day that match­es are played in the Big Bash as the crowds have re­al­ly tak­en to the for­mat.

Badree con­tin­ued: "Quite apart from qual­i­ty crick­et, big name play­ers, great weath­er, school hol­i­days and huge in­ter­est in the game here, the fam­i­lies and spec­ta­tors are treat­ed with off field en­ter­tain­ment that re­al­ly makes them want to come back."

He was par­tic­u­lar­ly im­pressed with what he has seen at his home venue in Bris­bane: "At the Gab­ba for in­stance we have a laz­er light show, fire­works and play­er in­ter­ac­tions, dance cam, kiss cam and live twit­ter feeds be­ing read out and oh...a pool deck as well.

"So CA have re­al­ly pack­aged it well for all au­di­ences and the mar­ket­ing has been in­cred­i­ble. Again, I've re­al­ly en­joyed my time here com­pet­ing and play­ing with some of the best in the world.

"As for my in­jury, I am still re­cov­er­ing." The leg spin­ner is key to the suc­cess of the Heat but has used his time wise­ly off the field to de­vel­op oth­er as­pects of his game.
