Waleed Aly has added its voice to the criticism around Big Bash scheduling<\/strong>, declaring the competition has \u201cfallen on its face\u201d and become a \u201cnullity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Josh Philippe piloted the Sydney Sixers to their second BBL title on Saturday<\/strong>, heaping more misery on the Melbourne Stars some eight years after watching idol-turned-mentor Steve Smith win the inaugural crown.<\/p>\n

\u2018INCREDIBLE\u2019: <\/strong>16-year-old takes Test hat-trick not seen in 136 years<\/strong><\/p>\n

Philippe’s polished 52 lifted Sydney to 5-116 from 12 overs in the rain-affected final at the SCG, where wet weather was expected to ruin the season decider but stripped only eight overs from each innings.<\/p>\n

However there weren\u2019t many people there to watch it.<\/p>\n

The weather was certainly a factor, but crowds were well down on what they should have been all throughout the finals.<\/p>\n
