BBL BBL Match 26 Perth Scorchers v Melbourne Renegades 7/1 1845hrs @ Perth Stadium

[Coasters7]

Not out.

So what is Turners alternative there without injuring himself? Despite clearly having control of the ball

 

[Tugga27]

The competition is dying in the arse and barely anyone is emotionally invested in it anymore.

The crowds don't really show that.

 

[Foreign Legion]

I suspect the State of Origin game may be a huge boofest. I understand that people are upset about a decision but they were still booing 3 overs later.

 

[fnerd]

You need our money

Yep
how else the country going to pay off Victoria’s spiralling state debt

Not touch the grass with the ball would be a start.

 

[freo_leo29]

I’d be pretty flat if any of my sporting sides won like that

You'd be flat if a youngster hits a 6 off the last ball to win it?

WTF

 

[Hollow Knight]

Not touching the grass, or if unable, not catching the ball.

He isn’t entitled to a catch, he has to be execute it within the laws of the game.

The law states they have to be in full control of their movement to complete the catch, the question you asked literally demonstrates his control is compromised.

 

[Tugga27]

Exciting game goes down to the wire.

Can't we just enjoy it without being pricks to each other.

 

[fnerd]

Isn’t like the 10 highest attendances in BBL history all Regegades vs Stars games? Pretty sure the third biggest was just a few days ago.

Yep .

Both teams supporters turn up for 3 games a season .

Then basically sweet FA

Too many rallies supporting various “world” causes to attend to I guess, in the garden state

 

[Tugga27]

Was Paris injured or did Turner just go with Hardie?

 

[MJG14]

I wish he was trolling mate.

Unfortunately he's not.

Oh boy, I just assumed it was an excessively parochial pisstake account based on past interactions.

 

[largebus]

Cricinfo said Paris did his groin. Probably the difference in the end as much as the "catch"

 

[TY24]

You should see the gold they post on the soccer board

They were melting about Chelsea's opposition being negative and not looking for a result, playing for a draw... even though they won.

You should see some of his takes in the test forum

Because casuals get sick of their teams losing. Same reason the AFL nearly fell on its arse when the same teams were dominating in the 70s and 80s.

Watch how quickly Melbourne Stars fans come out of the woodwork if they’re any good towards the end of the year.

Don't let the ball come in contact with the ground until his movements are complete.

On this website?
**** no

 

[H00t]

This may have been a low scoring match, but it's kept up on the edge of our seats until the final ball

I get that watching 200+ scores has an element of excitement, but watching a pure contest should always win out

There’s the same argument in the footy. Does a close game make up for it being a low quality slog?

The last couple of overs of this game were good. The rest was thoroughly forgettable.

Well to be fair, most people realise it’s a bit of a Mickey Mouse hit and giggle comp for fun on a summer night, not to be taken as life or death.

Then again, Coasters7 is not most people.

 

[Coasters7]

Don't let the ball come in contact with the ground until his movements are complete.

Right. So either break his wrist trying to protect the ball or most likely let it go over his head.

What were your thoughts on the Starc one when it initially happened?

Correct call.

That game seems to have its own following. Sort of like day 1 Boxing Day. Even if you have a passing interest in cricket you’ll show up for that one.

MCG and Marvel are ghost towns for the rest of the year.

So should AFL umpires pay non-marks as marks because the player had no option but to ground the ball or risk injury?

I’ve seen players control a mark and then place it on the ground mid slide. They still get paid marks because there’s common sense being applied

BBL teams are soul less franchises.
Even so with 4 Titles in the old big bash and one title with the Rengades - Vic teams are equal with WA on 5 domestic T20 titles.
