BBL04 Game 31 - Melbourne Stars Vs Perth Scorchers @ MCG

[Plugger35]

170 odd is enough they said


They'll never chase it down they said

Should've sent in the Battery ahead of Voges, rookie mistake from Langer.

Handscomb will go all the way at test level - bookmark it!

He looks a lot like Smith with his technique.

 

[ep2018]

You know, had we connected one of those run outs we'd have won.

 

[smasha]

That's why we love sport.
The shouldas and couldas.

 

[rippersnipper]

Handscomb for the national team?

 

[94_Eagles]

I said that the whole game

 

[Cudi]

I'd be bringing in Dussey for McKay for the semi final, add a bit to the batting depth and get the overs from the part timers

What about Stoinis instead of Huss? word is he is very close.

 

[eth-dog]

Harder to do that way (a bit like how a 100-50 win doesn't give you the same percentage boost late in the year as a 200-100 win)

If they bowled the Thunder out for 80 they need to get the runs in 6 overs.

100-50 gives you a better boost as a general rule.

lolwat? 2nd one wouldn't have mattered.

"not good enough" -Mark Waugh.

Well how do I put this nicely.....he's wrong, Handscomb sans gloves is Victoria's best batting option in a long long time.

 

[smasha]

Well I was cheekily putting words in his mouth as he is a Stars player.
And A VICTORIAN!

 

[eth-dog]

Still think he could be as good a player of spin as Clarke or Smith. I have no doubt he'll play a lot of Test cricket for Australia.

 

[Moonwatcher]

My rough estimate is about a 120 win required by the Sixers next match.

 

[Admiral Byng]

I said that the whole game

You were right in the end. Scorchers didn't push hard enough the last 5 overs of their innings and get another 15-20 runs on the board.

Two poor overs cost the Scorchers the game.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

It's 6 runs now hitting the roof.

I though that was only when it had crossed the boundary already

 

[rdhopkins2]

I though that was only when it had crossed the boundary already

That would surely be the case. Or else a Warner or other smarty will invent the vertical 6 shot.

 

[ep2018]

Agar surely will be dropped. Stars feasted on his balls tonight.

 

[BACCS]

I'm glad I didn't check the live scores for the Melbourne innings, that was an insane finish! Great batting from Handscomb

 

[rdhopkins2]

Talk about a first 20/20 game to go to. Glad I stayed for the fireworks. Was tempted to get an early train after our batting start.

 

[eddiesmith]

What about Stoinis instead of Huss? word is he is very close.

Maybe, but he has been out longer and maybe a bigger risk

Agar surely will be dropped. Stars feasted on his balls tonight.

Please don't drop him

 

[The Speaker]

Agar surely will be dropped. Stars feasted on his balls tonight.

He was the most likely to come out regardless of Hastings.

So what do we expect the XI's for the semi to be? I'd go with:

Marsh, Kilinger, Carberry, Voges, Turner, Whiteman, NCN, Arafat, Tye, Behrendorff, Hogg
vs
White, Wright, Pieterson, Handscomb, Stoinis, Quiney, Triffitt, Hastings, Boland, Beer, Bird

NCN still under a big cloud.

We could be still be going to Adelaide, whilst they may need to win in 6 overs to finish 2nd, Sixers probably only need about a 12 over win to jump us

 

[JC Hawks]

Jesus they did it with KP and White doing s**t all.

And also no Faulkner and Maxwell.
