Strikers in good form is odd. They should try to get Rawhide in the Shield too haha

We have the 2nd highest win % in BBL history, and all the Redbacks are off playing for the bottom placed side. What's so odd about that?

 

[toxic]

Think this game will be a ripper

 

[RedTinMania]

I would give Conway another game personally

 

[Cleavy]

apparently the Strikers are undefeated on NYE..?

Correct, but they'll do well to keep it that way after tonight - the Thunder will be tough to beat. Should be a cracking game though: my son and I will be there.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Everyone spare a thought for Mark Waugh who will have to be in Adelaide for NYE again.

Would be very appropriate if the crowd started a ‘Mark Waugh’s a w***er’ chant at some stage of the game tonight.

 

[brucetiki]

Gotta love the logic of Adelaide Metro. Outbound trains are 3 cars and near empty. Inbound trains are 2 cars and people are being left behind at stations.

Now if the parent behind me can stop their spawn from groping me...

 

[Grozzy]

Thunder won the toss and are batting

Everyone spare a thought for those who will have to endure Mark Waugh's commentary again .

Just don't joke about our water - it's fine, as long as you chew 3 times before swallowing........

If it’s brown, drink it down.
If it’s black, send it back

Well the outbound trains do become inbound...

People will be catching trains into the city all night, not just for the cricket. Can’t do much about the outbound being empty.

Except the game will have well and truly started by the time they become inbound services

 

[brucetiki]

SACA members have barely turned up for the match. Level 3/4 of the western stands is 1/4 full at best

 

[Wedge McManus]

Ooooooo this is going through be a cracker

 

[Moonwatcher]

The Thunder's top order looks scary good.

 

[HBF]

Hoping for a good game tonight. Could be a cracker

 

[Moonwatcher]

Cautious start by the Thunder.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Bloody close

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Too honest

Gotta appeal that s**t

 

[HBF]

Finally Khawaja

 

[Wedge McManus]

Pitch looks a bit low and slow. Hate to see that
