BBL Game 1 Brisbane Heat v Melbourne Stars 1845hrs @ The Gabba

[NYRB]

Most batsman friendly ground in the competition with a dud bowling attack, what do you expect?

Besides, 220 is usually par at the GABBA

Only 1 side has posted 220+ at the GABBA in domestic T20 here batting first from 64 odd games.

180- 200 (Target mentioned by Khawaja) will be a very tough target for this Stars lineup tonight.

That’s not a wide

 

[Aussie_boy]

Shocking call

 

[danielnajdek]

Umpire needs to take his helmet off.

 

[eddiesmith]

That’s not a wide

Typical home town umpiring tonight

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Umpire needs to take his helmet off.

And walk home

Worst umpire by a mile

 

[danielnajdek]

That’s not a wide

I bet if Brisbane bowl one like that he wont call a wide.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Typical Pom lol

 

[eddiesmith]

Now a no ball and free hit from the ball that shouldn’t have even been bowled

 

[Voice of the G]

he looks distracted tonight.

Im not sure how often he has been captain of sides in the past but he is a bit like Mitch Marsh- see ball, hit ball. You dont want captaincy to muddle with his mind and/or game.

A bit of pressure on him tonight trying to live up what he has done in India in the last month.Listening to him miked up in the past he seems to make a lot of sense.After cricket personally think he would be good on the commentary team.It seems his bowlers have let him down and might be to bigger task for Maxi to win this game with out help.

 

[NYRB]

The Stars hopes bank on the Pakistan trio (when they are available)- this looks like a poor bowling attack.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

NCN with the old man’s injury

 

[eddiesmith]

Disappointing news for all batsmen in the BBL with NCN done for the year.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Coulter Nile looks like he's cooked.

Welcome to 2 years ago

 

[eddiesmith]

Coulter Nile looks like he's cooked.

Yet probably bowled his best ever over for the Stars on one leg

 

[Aussie_boy]

Joel Paris last over... this could end badly.

 

[danielnajdek]

That's what you get for having a guy on your list who's been shot for 3 years.

 

[DEVO]

Coulter Nile looks like he's cooked.

Thats what happens we you play someone who is almost as old as me.

 

[Aussie_boy]

NCN and Paris, the Stars should be called the Scorchers rejects rather than the Stars.

At least we know the Physio room will take a workout.

 

[eddiesmith]

Munro putting himself ahead of the team, good for the Stars.

 

[balmainforever]

Max Bryant the ultimate team player.
Stuff the 100

 

[eddiesmith]

Fully deserved to get stranded

 

[NYRB]

Max Bryant might not be the most popular local in Brisbane right now. But hey you would take 12 runs off last 3 balls anyday of the week.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Max Bryant the ultimate team player.
Stuff the 100

Munro only has himself to blame, was struggling to hit it off the square the last 5 overs. Probably cooked/still jetlagged.

 

[danielnajdek]

Can we get Stanlake back.
