Where they play has nothing to do with the argument, it's about rewarding finishing top 2 with a 2nd chance, as the 4th team usually wins 2-3 less games than 1st and 2nd but can waltz into the final with one good performance.Would the strikers have chosen to play in Sydney if they had the option to select where to play?
Nope. They didn't lose at home, they know the pitch better than any other side.
Their top order failed and it cost the competiton.
I think we may have to wait until the next TV rights deal. I want the IPL system implemented too but it's an extra game and I suspect this has to be taken into account also.I am happy the Thunder won and wanted them to win.
I do feel at least the top team deserves a double chance. The only practical way is using the IPL format.
With the IPL it makes perfect sense to do this as the season is 14 games.
With the WBBL season being 14 games, it could justify the use of this model for both BBL and WBBL.
Hilarious...Next year the Strikers will go undefeated, win the semi but blow it in the final.. Then the South Australians will be calling for a best of 3 finals series
Not the way Australian sports workIf we want the best performed team to win then don't have finals.

It is what it is (hit n' giggle tournament with the appropriate hit n' giggle finals system) but that aside I think they shot themselves in the foot dropping Dean, Jayawardene should of come in for Lehmann.
Yeah wouldn't be surprised if Dean moves to another team next season. It sucks that Ludeman in the keeper, because there is no way he keeps his spot as a batsman.It is what it is (hit n' giggle tournament with the appropriate hit n' giggle finals system) but that aside I think they shot themselves in the foot dropping Dean, Jayawardene should of come in for Lehmann.
Thunder's batting line up is incredible - especially if they get kallis back
Khawaja looks so smooth when batting and effortless when hitting boundaries. Reminds me of vvs laxman.
Yes, it's been a farce ever since the competition started. Do you not agree that a fairer system would be rewarding 1st and 2nd with a second chance?Any sooking about the finals system before the match???
Strikers doing their best impression of port Adelaide in the early 2000s
Will probably win next year
Khawaja's form is incredible, he must be picked in all formats.
Normally a player who has scored 100*, 50, 100* in 3 t20 games would be in at least the t20 side. I call shenanigans on mark Waugh as aus selector and thunder selector/owner/ceo/whatever he is
