dissapointing
why not just have a separate big bash comp.
It's not cricket so why use up cricketers time.

Wouldn't mind that to be honest. 4/5-day cricket just doesn't lend itself to finals anyway. I don't particularly like the Big Bash, but having a final in which the home team can win with a draw, in a sport which draws are very easy to manufacture, is never a brilliant idea.

Yeah
draws are pointless. have a timeless final

Don't like the final for the 4 day form, but never should it give way to T20.

Perhaps another round of normal matches instead of a final is in order.
