BBL Match 51 Brisbane Heat v Melbourne Stars 1310hrs @ the Gabba

[danielnajdek]

The season the Stars are having we'll find a way to lose this.

 

[Moonwatcher]

6 to win off the final ball

 

[RAPPA]

In true Heat fashion, it just has to be a wide or no ball coming up

 

[Andronicus]

Takes out the super over.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Where's Jake Lehmann?

 

[11kgm]

Clarke for batting so slowly cost us dearly

 

[freo_leo29]

Great bowling form Johnson under pressure

 

[gtrxuone]

Well done Heat

 

[Rob]

Quality last over that

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

The Strikers need to be getting into the ear of Johnson to get him back home. Quality death bowling again.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Need 10 off 5 balls with Stoinis on strike and they couldn't do it.

 

[ep2018]

I think only one set of results can knock the heat out of finals now. They might finish as high as 3rd, that's crazy.

 

[gordo2016]

Brilliant last over from Johnson. Must have nerves of steel.

 

[danielnajdek]

Geez Stoinis would be disappointed with that last ball. It was a full toss.

 

[010203]

That's two.games in a row Spencer Johnson has come up trumps in the last over.

 

[Saints4ever]

Really need the hurricanes to beat the 6s tomorrow now.

 

[010203]

Another last over loss for the Stars and another loss confirmed for the Stars off the last ball.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Hains' 6 off the final ball of the Heat innings the difference.

 

[Yoda_]

Johnson looks like he has a big future. Great bowling at the crunch time.

Surprised me that Spencer Johnson is already 27. (16.12.1997)

I would allow Stonis to leave the club as a bold move to revitalise the list

BBL needs a revitalisation as it's the same teams doing same things every year.


Make every contract void at the end of 2023/24. All clubs may retain ONE international and THREE local players. The rest goes into three drafts;

1) local player draft
2) international player draft
3) Australian contracted players draft and try to get them more involved.


Would see Scorchers players in that 5 - 10 spot on the list elsewhere one would thing, ditto Sixers.

 

[010203]

The first 5 overs of both innings nearly cost the Heat.

 

[NYRB]

Stars missed a trick with their batting line up today. Surely Cartwright should have been sent in ahead of Kellaway today?

Nah screw that, I'm of the opinion that the BBL teams need a shift in attitude. Scorchers and Sixers are up there every year for a reason. I know the Scorchers have an advantage of WA having ridiculous depth at the moment but at the same time Nick Hobson has played every game for them.... Teams like the Stars didn't give themselves any chance this season with the way they approached it, they need to improve

Cartwright is criminally underused.

Ridiculous.

Why disadvantage the good sides to make the competition even?
It's up to the other clubs to get better.

Rather than paying some internationals big money who don't perform, they should target other clubs like
the Scorchers and Sixers who have decent players who can't get a game.
