BBL04 FINAL: Perth Scorchers vs Sydney Sixers

[Smeg Head]

Hope any team that picks up a Scorchers player in the IPL fails to make it through.

 

[The Speaker]

A high scoring game does not equal a good game. A 150 pitch give and take is the best match in a T20. Pitch played the same for both sides.

Dead pitches are worse than flat pitches.

How the 150 is hit is what matters.

 

[RickSanchez]

Seal the deal now Hoggy

 

[ep2018]

We just know how to win.

Channel 10, great cricket game just starting

that was just luck that the return throw was fumbled. I was prepared for the Super Over.

 

[Smeg Head]

Its Mel trollin time apparently!

 

[BlueMaster1]

Any other player doped that ball I would of felt sorry but when Henriques did it brought a smile to my face

 

[Underdog]

After the way Lee got in Whiteman's face, it was thoroughly enjoyable to see his devastation

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Wow. What a finish.

Have to give credit to Brett Lee, has been a superstar of the limited overs game(s) and delivered big time in that last over. NCN and Whiteman's shots look bad but the deliveries were perfect and they were lured into those shots by excellent field placements.

Which brings me to Moises, who really ought to have been MOTM tonight. Great with the bat to give them a shot, great and clever with the ball (NCN could have learned a thing or two about how to bowl on that pitch, as could Cummins) and his decision to bring on Lyon was absolutely inspired. Didn't deserve to be the one who lost it for them in the end.

But we won we won we won!!!!! Back to back - woweeeee!!!

Yes, excellent to see. I was shaking before that last delivery was bowled. Arafat did very well to keep it out, actually. Thank God for the fumble.

Back to back baby!

Where's my quote, ep2006!?

Where's my quote, ep2006!?

I think we lucked out in the end, with those no balls and missed runout. But I was wrong, and I was happy to be wrong.

I don't want to start a argument but I disagree with the Henriques part. He batted well really well but when it came to fielding the no ball wasn't all bollingers fault mainly Henriques fault should of known better and also gave dougie a spray which wasn't need. And Lyon pretty much begged him to bowl him. So in my opinion Henriques had it coming to him when he dropped it

 

[Zach Package]

Sorry but, with respect, I'm not even sure what the point of your post is?!

you're saying the crowd leaving is embarrassing. I reckon it's completely normal, the presentation was shitty anyway

That is so, so harsh.

There was turn in the pitch for the spinners, it was hardly dead.

 

[Noobz0r]

Yes, but he has a rep/aura as much more of a wicket-taker than his record suggests. Was genuinely surprised when I looked up his stats. Thought he'd have a T20 strike rate of like 16-17. He doesn't even average one wicket per game.

Punter hit the nail on the head when he mentioned pace. Lee can't match his aura anymore because he can't bowl 150 anymore. He did develop into an incredibly intelligent and consistent T20 bowler, though.

 

[BlueMaster1]

I know but I had to say it I was frustrated

Bye BBL04

I spent many a night getting drunk with you this Summer

<3

Of course it was embarrassing. And, if you think it would have been "normal" for the crowd in Perth (where it would have otherwise been played) to leave before the presentations ... that's your call, I guess. But you'd be 100% wrong. Seriously, why are you even arguing this?

 

[Admiral Byng]

Mind you - Lee's 10 runs before the first legal delivery of the 18th over is what got the Scorchers back in the game. The 20th over was a beauty though. So Lee is also a hero and villain in the same match.

Lee only gave up 10 runs because Doug the rug wasn't in the circle

Douggie wasn't responsible for the wide down leg side that followed, or the bouncer in right the spot for SMarsh to swing his arms at.
