BBL BBL Match 13 Brisbane Heat v Adelaide Strikers 27/12 1845hrs @ the Gabba

[TubbsFarquhar]

A competitive display tonight actually gives me some interest in going on NYE now.

The Strikers haven't won on NYE since 2018, apparently.

 

[Chuckie357]

Without question the worst Strikers side since the BBL started.
Keeper batting at 9 in a T20, ridiculous.

Didn’t glove too many cleanly tonight

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Who the hell is Wadia?

Started on fire then petered out
Took to Wildermuth like Harper took to Richardson

22 off his first 4 balls then
12 off 12, caught behind on a ball that would of been a wide

 

[Hamingja]

Who the hell is Wadia?

Think the young lad will be getting a bit of short stuff moving forward

 

[budge27]

Julian doesn’t know the innings timer gets paused for medical attention and other things from the batting side that would disadvantage the bowling side

Julian doesn’t even know what day of the week it is, he’s dumb as 2 planks of wood.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Time to replace Nielsen. We've given him a good run but we need to put together a squad designed to win games.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Almost time to watch the Darts

10 year anniversary of Head / Abbott this year

Nah that obviously isn't in Tim Paines plan - or maybe his plan is to take over from him

Hit in the Helmut in 2 consecutive games

At least the Strikers are producing Australian players. Head, Carey and Short.

 

[Moonwatcher]

And if I'm claiming Short then I can claim Neser and Renshaw

 

[Hamingja]

Lyon? Or does he pre date even the Strikers?!

Feel like our local spinner was Zampa

 

[Moonwatcher]

Wish is was easy to get a list of all players to play for a franchise.

Batting at 9, WTF is he in the side for?

You can claim D’Arcy Short, I will give you that

 

[Moonwatcher]

Operation get Phil Salt back

First ever match for Adelaide Strikers:

Dan Harris, Klinger, Fergson, Blizzard, Crosthwaite, Borgas, Botha, Kane Richardson, O'Brien, Alfonso Thomas, Lyon

It's a bit of a folly when people say the big bash used to attract the big internationals.

Yes you had a few good West Indians and Sri Lankans back then but the main reason they don't come these days is that they don't exist these days. No Gayle, Murali, Malinga types playing for those countries full stop.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Dan Harris and Klinger were beasts for the Redbacks in the state T20 comp. Memories.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Matt Short is on a sinking ship, time to get on a lifeboat and head to one of the Victorian Ports, Port of Melbourne the Stars or Port of Geelong the Renegades

Scorchers legends Michael Klinger and Alfonso Thomas that is.

Crosthwaite, Borgas, Aaron (?) O'Brien. That takes me back to the 2000s when channel 9 televised the ING cup.

 

[Tugga27]

Ordinary effort by Matt Short not to see the Strikers home I thought.
Just no game awareness.

And the run out of Wood was atrocious.

The Balkin kid on debut bowling 140+ clicks is a guy we might need to keep watching.
