BBL|06 Melb. Stars vs Syd. Sixers

[Percel]

Been a shell of his old self for last 2-3 seasons. Brings nothing to the table, and looks like zero leadership. Couldn't even genuinely name a player in his team tonight at the toss.

Has no issue recalling the names of meat pies and sausage rolls at the bakery.

What an odd comment.

Stars win 1/4 at home for season...

Heat also with 1/4 so go Heat

 

[NYRB]

Any ideas on what price tickets will be like for Scorchers home final?

im guessing $150 a person?

 

[NYRB]

^^^^ If they make the Grand Final that is.

Umpires need to get better at properly calling wides.

And no one with a tattoo by the name of 'Ash' should be allowed to umpire a cricket match

Especially aged 50

Lame choice

Should have been the boat guy

 

[Andronicus]

Hussey confirming the result, tanked because they suck at home.

Baz tried to do the same because Brisbane are the same but Hussey out tanked him.

 

[Ronnie Baby]

Surely Heat dont lose to Sydney? Heat are capable of 200, Sydney are not

The Heat have never beaten the Sixers at the Gabba

 

[RickSanchez]

Ah damn would've liked if Scorchers played the Wednesday.
Thought top of the table may have got the extra day, but not sure how the travel etc works.

 

[The_Reaper]

And SMarsh. Gonna lose my s**t if he gets picked cos he played really well today.

Why would he get picked. There is no point picking a bloke who is unlikely to be around for the 2019 world cup. Hence why Bailey was dropped

And you still don't have a job

 

[Andronicus]

And you still don't have a job

Spot on.

If you are nice, I'll tell you how I have managed to keep my salary for years, getting incrementally more each year, without actually holding a job.

Probably for the best that Melbourne isn't hosting a final. Another semi final crowd of 12,000 would have been an embarrassment.

How many would they have got for a derby semi final u reckon?

Not that sure. Melbourne Stars crowds traditionally start to decline around the end of the season (obviously the Australian Open contributes).

Would expect at least 60-70k but in my opinion it would have been less than the derby.

Wednesday night it would have been 90,000+

Biggest non derby crowd tonight wasnt it?

Was that their semi crowd last year? IIRC there was supposed to be torrential rain which held off for the game.

yep. i bought tix and didn't go because it absolutely hammered down that arvo and the game was shortened by rain. And I still reckon they got about 25 thousand there in the end

No. 2013/14 from memory. The weather was fine and the Stars won all 8 games in the season but nobody turned up.

I was there.
The penny hadn't dropped for t20 cricket back then. It was a booze up in bay 13, but that's about it.

lol that was all because they had planned to just save their money for the final instead

Didn't really know where to post this and cbf starting a thread....

Anyone know a way to watch full replays of games? Legitimately or otherwise? Illegitimate means via pm's are welcomed...

Working evenings which kinda sucks for this format and wouldn't mind catching the finals.

Every game is replayed the next morning.
