BBL Match 54 Adelaide Strikers v Sydney Sixers @ Adelaide Oval Mon 17 Jan 1635 ACDT

[eth-dog]

Dont mind the format, but think the BBL might revert back to the double chance 1 v 2, 3 v 4 eliminator next season.

5 is too many teams for a comp that has 8 teams

That was never the system. It was 1v4 and 2v3 before the current system

 

[NYRB]

the only reason the BBL went for 5 teams to make the playoff, is to keep these 'dead' rubbers alive come the pointy end of the season.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Not a fan of how Adelaide can play finals with more losses than wins.

It’s just the least worst that’s all. There’s 3 decent sides that’s it

 

[Moonwatcher]

Just 2 more runs than balls remaining.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Fidy

 

[NYRB]

thats a decent 50 from Renshaw. well played there.

 

[Chuckie357]

Strikers gone. So so dumb. Others will now follow suit. What a pathetic dismissal. Just get to the drinks break when you are this far ahead!

 

[NYRB]

64 off 10.2 overs

if there is one team that can come back from here its the Sixers.

 

[Moonwatcher]

With our batting order we are never safe. At least Nielsen's run a ball should be ok.

 

[DEVO]

If it’s not in WA it’s neutral at worst. It’s why you don’t risk old man OKeefe until You have to

1st v 2nd will be at a neutral ground of the Scorchers choosing, but if one of the Sydney teams wins that game, the Grand Final will be played at either the Sixers home ground (SCG) or the Thunders (Giants Stadium).

You don’t want Neilsen batting

 

[NYRB]

been impressed with Cockbain. Been a good pickup for Strikers.

Has a cool head about him. He is an experienced player at this level with 136 T20 matches on the domestic level.

 

[Chuckie357]

It was in the air before he grounded it

I’ll give that

That for me is a massive disadvantage to the Scorchers. But doubt if Perth are get given the option of choosing a neutral venue or to play at one of the NSW opponents home deck. Money talks and anything that brings in ticket revenue will be where CA go to.

We're playing home finals at Marvel. Confirmed a couple days ago by the club.

what would the crowd be like for a Perth home game against one of the Sydney sides ? im guessing around 8,000 max

play that in Sydney and your probably guaranteed 20,000 against Sixers, a full house of around 15,000 at Showgrounds.

Yeah I'm surprised too, before I thought they'd absolutely force us to play the sixers at the SCG even if we were hosting.

That's life in a covid world, the Sixers were disadvantaged all last season (until the final) but made it work.

 

[NYRB]

first fault shot played by Cockbain there. Could have easily landed to a fielder

 

[Coasters7]

Would be staying as far away from the surge as possible. Break glass option imo. Has the potential to swing the momentum in the Sixers favour when it’s not needed

Someone tell Gillespie we’ve already taken it

 

[Moonwatcher]

Under a run a ball now.

 

[DEVO]

Strikers making this look easy. Cockbain striking it better than Avendano in the first innings.

I was about to disagree with you ...

 

[Plugger35]

Cockbain getting better with each game.

Handy pick up for the Strikers.
