BBL Match 34; Scorchers v Hurricanes @ Perth.

[RickSanchez]

Little fine coming George’s way

GEORGE IS GETTING UPSET!

 

[hotdish]

Little fine coming George’s way

Nah. Just tapped it gently

 

[ImperialPurple]

What for?

Smacked the stumps with his bat after he got bowled.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

8 wickets at 21.37 this season with an economy rate of 5.51. Try again.

West Coast

Oh, don't know why I bothered

Lol look at his economy rate not his average, it's 20/20 not test cricket.

You do know economy rate factors in to a bowlers average, right?

 

[The Falcon Strike]

So bowling at the base of middle and off is out of fashion why ?

 

[DarkPhoenix]

What on earth did Johnson do to Milenko ?

 

[RickSanchez]

Milenko the king, gotta let him bowl 4 overs now.

 

[drd23]

So bowling at the base of middle and off is out of fashion why ?

Because plenty that try it fail too often and just dish up full tosses instead - see Mitch McClenaghan and Sean Abbott bowling at the end of innings in this BBL.

It still works well if you can execute consistently though

 

[Maveric]

Milenko can bat!

 

[drd23]

Where the hell was this version of Milenko hiding?

 

[RickSanchez]

Bet he doesn't ever hit another 50 again.

 

[gtrxuone]

Powerful batsman Melenko.Hitting with brute force.

 

[Chuckie357]

Why is flogson mouthing off after being hit for 10 in 2 balls

 

[KBLT]

West Coast

What? Do Eagles fans have a reputation for being factually correct that I don't know about? What does my AFL team have to do with this? Apart from broad generalisations, that is.

Economy rates are the number of runs scored off of an over on average. A bowler could get no wickets in 5 games but only go for 4 an over. That's an economy rate of 4, and is pretty useful for restricting a teams score. Fact.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Milenko does this semi regularly in the shield, has 7 first class 50’s

 

[Chuckie357]

Few Perth supporters in here sooking it up

 

[rocker_oz33]

Ive never herd of this Milenko feller before.

 

[ep2018]

Might not see the new Perth Stadium this season after all lol.

 

[hotdish]

Good on Milenko. But while he kills it at shield level bowling he bowls Pies in T20

 

[RickSanchez]

Great comeback by the Canes, I reckon they'll win it.

I mean, you're obviously a biased Western Australian. Yes, Agar has had a strong BBL. No, he hasn't done enough to make the Aus T20 team, he still averages over 30 with the ball with an economy rate of 7.57. As I said, it was as stupid as selecting Quiney for one good Shield season despite him averageing like 35 with the bat, just not good enough.

I'd rather see Agar in ODIs where he actually has a good record in domestic cricket.

 

[Gak Attack]

lol at Johnson chirping when he has been smashed

 

[Andronicus]

Milenko makes 66 without playing a shot. Just swinging the bat and getting lucky.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Whoa Simon Milenko you beauty!

 

[The Speaker]

Ive never herd of this Milenko feller before.

Was the best grade cricketer in Queensland a few seasons ago, moved to Tasmania this year.
