Anyone from around Coffs? Out of Towner going to game tonight. Looking for info/tips on parking.

Taking young kids so unlikely to stay for whole game and wondering likelihood of getting arming anywhere near the ground?

Anyone with any insight/advice appreciated.

Is that Andy Maher commentating...? Thought he'd mercifully been shunted to the WBBL

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Sixers do the smart thing and send the Heat in

He does a Scorchers mens home games quite a bit.

They probably send him here (and to the NSW north coast) to get rid of him

Munro dropped for Hearne. It's the right call to drop Munro, but Weibgen is pretty lucky. Even when he was our second highest scorer against the Strikers, he still looked pretty ordinary. Couldn't buy s run on the off side.

Heat look set to have a pretty good XI once their internationals return. I'd imagine the XI would be something like:

Khawaja
Labuschagne
McSweeney
Renshaw
Bryant
Peirson
Wildermuth
Neser
Bartlett
Kuhnemann
Khan

Honestly he'd be dreadfully unlucky, but despite his century, I'd even lean towards keeping Patterson in the team over Wildermuth. Or Balkin, though I don't think they can once the internationals return given he's a replacement player. If Wildermuth's not required as an opener, and I don't think he should open if Khawaja and Labuschagne are available (as 5/6 is too late for any 2 of Renshaw, McSweeney and Bryant to be batting IMO), I don't think he's a good enough bowler to warrant a place in the team.

 

[KBLT]

Hughes, Azam, Philippe, Henriques, Silk, Davies, Edwards, Manenti, Kerr, Abbott, Dwarshuis

That team bats deeeeep

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Should be a good game this

Wildermuth sending one out of the ground.

Wildermuth teeing off.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Pretty painstaking little knock from the young fella unfortunately.

 

[Plugger35]

The Heat may as well have stuck with Munro.

[Stig O'Hara]

Middle stump out of the ground.

No better sight.

 

[Plugger35]

Renshaw smoked that, just a pity he smoked it straight to a fielder.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Will Bryant ever bat again without the snick that wasn't reviewed mentioned?

 

[SSwans2011]

Well, at least these two can bat with confidence knowing they have the great Hugh Weibgen to come.

And 2 of our best batters in Bartlett and Kuhnemann.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Doesn’t look the easiest pitch to bat on. Especially coming from the Gabba where it is very flat and very fast

 

[Plugger35]

This will be a low scoring game unless the Heat can put together a good partnership.

 

[SSwans2011]

Doesn’t look the easiest pitch to bat on. Especially coming from the Gabba where it is very flat and very fast

Agreed, but fair chance the Heat are making it look more difficult than it is. Can't seem to bat anywhere that isn't the Gabba.

 

[SSwans2011]

Don't try to suggest this is an impressive crowd Fox. Anyone that's actually spent any time af Coffs would know that there's nothing better to do there on a Monday night (or any night for that matter).

 

[Plugger35]

That's not out, get on with it.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Leave the toe guard on

If you're gonna play at regional grounds, you'd want full houses or pretty bloody close to it. At least they've certainly done that tonight.

It's not fair that bowlers can dismiss batters but batters can't dismiss bowlers

If the batting team hits 3 sixes in an over they should be able to choose a bowler to be dismissed from the attack for the remainder of the innings
