Well. Far canal. That is just amazing. I imagined it but dismissed it nonsense. Then I saw it. I don't believe what I just saw.

unbelievable.

Embarrassing crowd Victoria.

Biggest crowd of the finals

 

[gtrxuone]

6ers will take some beating in the final at the SCG.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

What a choke. The Stars are such a disappointment.

 

[ROOTA#6]

Embarrassing crowd Victoria.

Keep fishing

 

[CakeEater]

Lol Stars.

Somethings never change

No one is beating the Sixers in the final at the SCG with that bowling attack, they won comfortably scoring 142, imagine if they scored 170 or more.

Sydney Sixers are the new scorchers, can score what ever but have a bowling lineup that can defend anything, especially at home

 

[GoldenMagpie16]

Maxwell and Stoinis have been batting poorly as of late

......it helps when you have national team blowers in your team

The way STOINIS is going Hales will get the cap lol

So what changes are we making for next season to allow Collingwood Stars to win a final?

 

[Admiral Byng]

it's another one of those team batting first has the best chance to asses the pitch and adapt their bowling to the conditions. From about the 2nd over Henriques was talking to his bowlers about it being low and slow and they bowled and set their fields that way.

Automatic qualification and hosting rights for the final if the Stars finish in the top 5. Teams can only field one Australian international in a match against he Stars.

 

[010203]

Mel looks amazing. She's 40 (41 this year) and looks better the older she gets.

 

[Hamez]

13,275 is the offical crowd.

 

[CakeEater]

13,275 is the offical crowd.

Should have moved the game to Perth

 

[eddiesmith]

Should have moved the game to Perth

Bigger than the crowd that saw Australia beat NZ in a test in Perth

 

[eddiesmith]

Hate to be SOK if the Sixers lose the final...

 

[Van_Dyke]

13,275 is the offical crowd.

sub 15k for a final at the MCG? Embarrassing for CA and the Stars

 

[Redline]

So what changes are we making for next season to allow Collingwood Stars to win a final?

Let them play the majority of games at the MCG and only make them go interstate a couple of times. Sign an agreement with the MCG to ensure they have home finals and all clubs outside Victoria have to travel each year for the GF even if they are the top team.

Anyway I am being silly now, no sporting code in Australia would be that unfair.

Terrible weather in Melbourne today and fully understand why people did not turn up with the worry this game could be washed out.

 

[Redline]

sub 15k for a final at the MCG? Embarrassing for CA and the Stars

As I said in another thread, Tennis is dominating Cricket at the moment. Channel Seven lost out big time.

 

[eth-dog]

I do find it amusing how much angst the equal least successful side in the BBL gets.

 

[Moonwatcher]

6ers will take some beating in the final at the SCG.

Adelaide were just a (dropped) catch away from beating them earlier in the year.
