BBL BBL|09 Game 42: Sydney Thunder v Sydney Sixers @ Sydney Showground 18th Jan 2020 7:10pm AEDT

Which is to be expected when you're trying to maximise batting for 20 overs (or less)

You are still able to hit it on the ground lol

 

[Stig O'Hara]

.....and they still have time for a time out.

Gotta look after the major sponsors.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

They lose time due to rain ….. so they take a time out

 

[MJG14]

A six!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

McAndrew is such a spud

 

[drd23]

How must McAndrew feel. Basically half the the opponent score has come off his bowling

 

[dumb]

Don't know that we'll see too much more of mcandrew this season

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Don't know that we'll see too much more of mcandrew this season

The alternative is Tremain...

Can we play with 10?

 

[Admiral Byng]

Now then... can the Thunder chase down a small total without choking??

 

[Plugger35]

Bowled out one ball short, got a better score than I thought they would get though.

They'll probably need to bowl the Thunder out to win.

 

[BG__]

Gaz the GOAT to take 10fa and sixers to win

 

[Admiral Byng]

Thunder just got to be ahead of the DLA at the 5 over mark in case there is any further rain.

 

[Admiral Byng]

WTF - DLS has revised the target total down by 1 run.

*shakes head*

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Nah.....

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Useless Pom

 

[ROOTA#6]

WTF - DLS has revised the target total down by 1 run.

*shakes head*

Htf does that work?

 

[Admiral Byng]

Htf does that work?

I don't know. I was hoping somebody could explain it to me.

 

[Headless]

Khawaja is one of my favourites to watch bat.

 

[ROOTA#6]

I don't know. I was hoping somebody could explain it to me.

The only thing I can think of is that it’s like some type of penalty for being bowled out???

 

[imadodgyumpire]

I appreciate that this game on a Saturday night is on 7.

 

[Ochre]

I don't know. I was hoping somebody could explain it to me.

I don't know for certain, but I imagine it's something like this.

Imagine a team bats for 3 overs and is 0/20, and then the match is shortened to 5 overs each. At the end of the first teams 5, they will get extra runs because they'd have batted faster had they known it was 5 from the outset.

The same thing is happening in reverse here with the wickets. Being 5 down after 3 overs when you think you're batting 20 overs is much worse than being 5 down after 3 when you think you're batting 5 overs, so runs would be taken off in the same way they're added above to account for that.

Yep I was surprised to see it on..even though it’s low scoring my young blokes are loving being able to watch it

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Love those boobies.

 

[Admiral Byng]

looks like some light rain on the way according to the BOM radar.. not sure if it will be heavy enough to come off.

"Dad, can we go to KFC?"
