Weather

 

[grimlock]

Looking forward to the fun and games

 

[ioppolo]

These nicknames are everything wrong with the BBL

 

[Moonwatcher]

If it rains in Adelaide tomorrow night as it is raining now, there will be no game, not even 5 overs.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Come on Thunder

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Thunder please

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Most of the rain has missed us today

Last night copped a pasting, 28mm in the city but can't imagine we'll have to many problems getting a game in

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

It is still raining lightly with heavier rain forecast for late afternoon.

 

[Chuckie357]

Pissed down in the northern suburbs. Will be a shortened game if anything

 

[Guido leWhopper]

Weather hasn't changed since 6am, still drizzle and fog in the southern suburbs, and no wind either. My optimism for a game tonight is quickly evaporating.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Adelaide to get the job done, they'll knock off the Stars, Sixers win the final in a thriller.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Light rain again and likely for the next hour.

Big band of rain at Roxby - 500k north - drifting straight towards Adelaide.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

We're good I reckon. Most rain missing north. Club game down at Port Adelaide currently underway!

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

The Strikers missed the chance of playing in the final let alone a home final against the Canes. The Thunder to win this.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Looks like we'll get a game tonight RIP Strikers.

 

[Crashy]

Suns out

Few nasty clouds but I think they are past the oval

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Thunder batting first

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Looks like we'll get a game tonight RIP Strikers.

Either my man Salty wins or we win...can’t lose

 

[Moonwatcher]

Thunder batting first

Good call by the Strikers. DL seems to advantage the chasing side.

 

[NSWCROW]

A BIT OFF THE PACE !!!!!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Good call by the Strikers. DL seems to advantage the chasing side.

That’s if it rains thunder would want to bat first anyway

 

[apollo_creed]

Thunder have to deal with GOAT Billy.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Thunder have to deal with GOAT Billy.

lol he gets a game does he

 

[jackess]

Gutsy call to play Billy again. Guessing they'll back him in to bowl well to Sydneys middle to lower order. If the Strikers don't get a couple of early wickets they'll be in trouble

 

[LFC2010]

that intro was cringe worthy.
