Ridiculous schedule should have been no more than 2 days between games

THE ELIMINATOR!

 

[juss]

These knockout finals are very unpredictable now especially with returning internationals and are just coin tosses. It comes down to which team has players fire on the night:
Carey/Weatherald/Head or Lynn/Labuschagne/Renshaw
then randomly on any given night a bowler is always a chance of taking a matchwinning 4/20 and triggering a collapse.

Brisbane +1 at home but then I think I trust the Strikers batting and bowling attack more which neutralizes that. Lynn is just as likely to go for a <10 as he is to go for 70 off 40 balls, again so unpredictable.

On the overall probabilities, I'd lean towards the Strikers having more answers with bat and ball and thus more chances for one of them to fire.

 

[HBF]

This game really could go either way. A real 50/50 game.

I think you will see Renshaw plays for Adelaide Strikers now and not Brisbane Heat.

Whoops haha. Brain fart.

 

[Reign Man]

Strikers for mine. Could get on a roll and go all the way.

I think you will see Renshaw plays for Adelaide Strikers now and not Brisbane Heat.

Yes but he counts as a negative for the Strikers.

 

[Cubs2Lions]

Yes but he counts as a negative for the Strikers.

True

 

[Joe9]

strikers batting first

 

[Cleavy]

Neser batting at 6?!

 

[Plugger35]

Maxy on the Ch7 coverage and he has got the stock standard Ch7 outfit of checked jacket with the Country Road shirt, pants and shoes combo.

 

[HBF]

I'm hoping for good game between these two very even teams.

 

[Hamingja]

Neser batting at 6?!

Very risky team from Adelaide. If they lose early wickets they will have to sub in Wells for sure. 4 out, all out.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Rashid just called the Strikers 'my old team'.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Yeah, we need Gibson's resolve down the bottom.

 

[HBF]

Bartlett getting some nice swing.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Fair bit of swing early!

[Plugger35]

Swing early.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Shot.

 

[HBF]

WTF is junior on about. A wide is a wide!

 

[MJG14]

Maxwell and Ponting together in commentary means that we have all sorts of arm hair records.

 

[juss]

Strikers all in on this opening pair, think they're at risk if they lose one early. They don't bat deep.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Noice Jake.
