BBL04 FINAL: Perth Scorchers vs Sydney Sixers

[94_Eagles]

Boy isn't that the most fanciest trophy you have ever seen?

It's got zing bails technology

 

[Stig O'Hara]

What a fitting end, 312 bored people in the Nation's Capital.

The first and hopefully last final to EVER be held there.

Now moving on to the champions league. Can we at least get it telecast this time?

Image the trophy rooms in 20-30 years time. The place is going to look like a nightclub.

[The Speaker]

It was packed all game.

My goodness people are STILL whinging over that?

The crowd was practically the same as it would have got in Perth.

yes i'm sure the waca would've emptied out before the presentation

I'm pointing out some FACTS. To have the crowd disappear for the crowning moment of an entire tournament is something I don't think I've ever seen before - and *is* clearly embarrassing.

As for your line in bold ... umm, yeah, ok then.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Yeah the atmosphere was spectacular*!


*ly s**t

Atmosphere was really good, well supported by Canberra for both sides. Pitch played well, bit in it for both sides. Good final.

 

[94_Eagles]

When you are standing at the stumps, game on the line...............you grab that thing like it is a tennis ball.

Or maybe you are so eager that you spend it before you have it?

I remember back in the state based competition that One broadcasted the games. Have they stopped that?

Haven't relaly paid attention considering my team hasn't been playing.

If I was there I would have left, even if my team won

Contrary to reputation and "specialty", going by his record on paper, Brett Lee hasn't really been that great a T20 bowler:

First Class record - 28.22 average, 49.6 strike rate, 3.40 economy rate
List A record - 24.05 average, 30.7 strike rate, 4.69 economy rate
T20 record - 29.89 average, 24.8 strike rate, 7.22 economy rate

Economy rate is good, especially for a quick, but (tonight notwithstanding) as a wicket-taker in the format, he is severely overrated.

I would suggest that economy is as important as wickets in T20.

 

[Smeg Head]

Now I've got my breathe back, I suddenly really, really need to go for a

Don't leave us hanging, what did you need to go for?

The only (legal) way to watch it last time was to pay for an overseas subscription to Star Sports. Presumably they wanted too much for the rights.

 

[wolmeister]

Watch as we post him next season on a multi year deal and then struggles.... sound familiar?

I wasn't keen on him from the start but he has shown a bit this season. When he's going he can really go....great to watch.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Thought bollinger was our best player tonight...

Probably won't be able to buy those kind of batteries any more.

Well that's s**t. You'd think that it being a somewhat major competition, you would get some TV coverage of it.

 

[Damon_3388]

Well he's only 32, but I'm not sure Perth needs him in the future anyway.

32? Always thought he was late 30s

He's one of many Pakistanis with a good record, who is mysteriously and unspokenly barred from the national team.

And given that he's Pakistani, we probably don't know his real age, either.

Pitch played well? Sydney could barely hit it before the drizzle got the ball to skid on. Boundaries were rare, ball didn't do heaps.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Or maybe you are so eager that you spend it before you have it?

Whatever, he was drilled enough to get behind the stumps and totally flubbered it.

Routine drill.

Something he would have got right 9/10 times at training.

 

[Arbuckle]

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

 

[LukeParkerno1]

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.

 

[Damon_3388]

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.
