BBL BBL|08 Game 31: Melbourne Stars v Hobart Hurricanes @ MCG

[AlwaysHawks15]

The stars core lineup not being there and virtually having no good depth means they will fail once again. Take Darcy short out of the hurricanes ( and TBH he should be playing for Australia right now) and it's a different team. Stars have the worst batting lineup in the comp right now imo take out Bravo and Maddinson when he is in form it's a bunch of amateur hacks.

 

[The Speaker]

Stars heading below the Scorchers?

 

[JG22]

Stars pretty woeful tonight

They’re key bats are Dunk and Maddinson, two very inconsistent players. It’s more unlikely either make a score than they do.

 

[The Speaker]

wizard's had enough of this match

 

[KBLT]

Hit Wicket!

 

[Hamingja]

The wizz, pissing myself

Not keen on Archer sending them down at 145km/h

 

[Admiral Byng]

hit wicket?

Which is why there shouldn't be eight teams.

Shot 4 eyes.

 

[Crashy]

Don't see that everyday

 

[Admiral Byng]

Stars crash to the botto, of the ladder now on NRR.

 

[SterlingArcher]

100% would have hated to be Bowe in that situation. Lamb to the slaughter - he's not going to get a 59 run partnership and if he doesn't get out to a yorker it might be a short ball next!

Could possibly be the worst batter in the country based on what I've seen of his batting. He will never get a game even domestically at 1st class level unless he becomes a very good spin bowler.

 

[red+black]

Stars move to last place

 

[Hamingja]

Hurricanes need to hurry up and sign a #3.

Whoever they sign probably hasn't played a lot of cricket recently so get some games into them before finals.

 

[The Speaker]

I long for the day when Australians stop treating the BBL as indicative of selection for ODIs.

 

[Wilso24]

Hit wicket and bowled in the same ball, impressive

Easy...there are people very close to the boy in this thread..no need for personal abuse

He will become an outstanding bowler. Coached by the same bloke as Nathan Lyon who had huge wraps on him

Howie?

Yep

 

[gtrxuone]

Great win by the Hurricanes.

As someone who barely watches Big Bash now with no Gayle, Russell or Sammy involved, can anyone explain to me why Nic Maddinson is captaining one of these sides? He averages a little over 20 in the format, isn’t a bowler and theoretically should barely be holding his spot let alone running the show

It's a sign of the depth of the stars list. Who else captains when the guys on Aus duty are out?

I’d have assumed Bravo would
