BBL Match 32; Sixers v Heat @ Sydney.

[madmug]

Is this the Hurricanes fielding?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Thinking out loud - should there be a bonus point score in T20s?

Say 160. If a team gets 160 (batting first or second) they get an extra point

So if a team gets knocked over for 73 the chasing team needs to make 74 to win the game and 160 to get a bonus point.

Means these for tv games go the distance

Favours sides that play their home matches on smaller grounds with roads. Pass.

Don’t mind the bonus point but just as the regular chase the total down in x overs.
/bowl the second side out for x.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

This won’t go 25 overs total.

What’s the shortest BBL game stats fans??

how concrete would you like your pitches

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

This will be over before the 10th over at this rate.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Not sure what the Heat can do here.

Go to the pub.

 

[HBF]

Right in the plums

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Like they are

Average winning score at the ground might be better than a random number

That hasn't added any interest to the domestic one dayers for mine. Also doesn't prevent the problem of games finishing early in cases like this one

 

[The Speaker]

Like they are

Average winning score at the ground might be better than a random number

and what happens when its a new ground

or the pitch is relaid

or the match is rain affected

 

[Carbine Chaos]

There’s not much interest in the domestic one dayers full stop.

What’s the problem with games finishing early? They’re over when they’re over. Not worth contriving extra time in the matches.

 

[imperial_oz]

Just got in from giving my son a driving lesson. What the heck happened to the Heat? Did they forget to turn up for their innings or something?

it's not a problem

they have revealed their true form

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

and what happens when its a new ground

or the pitch is relaid

Default number for starters

Duckworth Lewis can figure out the last one

 

[HBF]

That obstruction decision yesterday was terrible

 

[imperial_oz]

they have revealed their true form

Harsh

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

it's not a problem

For tv it is because viewers turn off in droves for these sort of games

 

[HBF]

Well howled Shah.

Yeah possibly my suggested 'cure' would be worse than the disease

Not many games like this after all thankfully

 

[The Speaker]

For tv it is because viewers turn off in droves for these sort of games

There's not many games like this each season. Viewers know that it comes with the territory. It's sport.

 

[madmug]

That obstruction decision yesterday was terrible

Nothing else to talk about I guess.

Lesson 1, dont touch the ball unless you ask the fielders.
Lesson 2, the umpire has to apply the law, the fielding side didn't have to appeal. But within their rights to do so.
Lesson 3, its the batters stupidity (again) which caused this situation.

 

[The Speaker]

Harsh

Have a look at their line-up today. That is not a team that should be playing in the finals.

Yes, they're missing their best players, but a good team can replace them. They cannot.

Seems to have been alot more this year.
