BBL04 Match 24: Brisbane Heat v Sydney Sixers @ the Gabba

[swans95]

The second match of Sunday's big BBL doubleheader. The Heat are coming off a resounding 8 wicket defeat to the Perth Scorchers on Sunday, while the Sixers lost to the Melbourne Stars at the MCG last Monday in a Super Over Thriller.

Brisbane Heat Squad:

James Hopes (captain), Dan Christian, Ben Cutting, Ryan Duffield, Andrew Flintoff, Jason Floros, Peter Forrest, Cameron Gannon, Chris Lynn, Stephen Parry, Jimmy Pierson (wk), Nathan Reardon and Mark Steketee

Sydney Sixers Squad:

Moises Henriques (captain), Sean Abbott, Doug Bollinger, Ryan Carters (wk), Ed Cowan, Ben Dwarshuis, Simon Keen, Brett Lee, Michael Lumb, Nic Maddinson, Stephen O'Keefe, Jordan Silk and Riki Wessels

Thoughts and predictions of this clash? I'll take the Sixers on the road. They've got a good solid batting line-up and their bowling attack is better than the Heat.

 

[Sydney Bloods]

going on form the sixers.

 

[Ronnie Baby]

Parry and The Steg will decimate the Sixers top order, Heat by 40 runs.

 

[Ronnie Baby]

Raining here now .

 

[rippersnipper]

Mel's on tonight! Wooooooo!

 

[Whiskers]

When is Burns due back for the heat?

 

[Aussie_boy]

Heat batsmen are due to fire, so them. Surely we don't see Flintoff again all tournament

 

[vaughany]

Raining here now .

Bad or will stop by start of play?

 

[vaughany]

so scorchers and strikers locked into semis, who do you think will occupy 3rd and 4th?

Nah it's been good, still very grey though.


A lot of very unhappy members at the moment, we've been booted out of our section because they've apparently sold it to day ticket holders. Gotta maximise the revenue at the expense of fans.

 

[Ronnie Baby]

Sixers win the toss and bowl.

 

[Quinz]

Sixers to win by 8 wickets.

 

[Aussie_boy]

So the English import Parry not playing for the Heat . Why fly him out to be 12th man?

 

[Ronnie Baby]

Parry and The Steg will decimate the Sixers top order, Heat by 40 runs.

Well that won't happen.

Dreadful line-up. Sixers by 8 wickets and approximately 7 overs.

 

[Torz]

Why wouldn't you pick Parry? What's the point of bringing him over...

I'd imagine he's a better bowler than Floros.

Sixers by plenty.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Dan Christian gets a gig lol

 

[LukeParkerno1]

It's my girl in red!!

 

[Greasyrhys]

C'mon Heat...

 

[Arbuckle]

Heat to win. You know it makes (no) sense.

 

[Torz]

Freddie has been good value this season. Off the field.

Pretty useless on it.

 

[floodbuster]

Mel's on tonight! Wooooooo!

You could call it the Mel and Viv chemistry set
