Big game for the strikers.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Will be interrupted by rain I would've thought. Might get a shortened game in if they're lucky.

 

[PAFCsince1870]

There's virtually zero chance of a ball being bowled at this rate.

 

[NYRB]

A no result is probably not a good result for Adelaide given its a shortened season.

Generally speaking, any side in the BBL would rather be out there playing then getting no results.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Can't even see Adelaide

 

[Plugger35]

That Adelaide weather radar is the sort of thing you expect to see for Sydney.

 

[NYRB]

Speaking of rain is there a reserve day for Finals should rain intervene?

 

[Gough]

No chance of playing, it feels like you should be filling up the hip flask and heading into the footy tonight not the cricket.

The Sydney radar could be completely clear yet it'd still be pissing down at the SCG.

This probable washout makes the Heat's win on Thursday even more important with just 8 games remaining after tonight. It sucks for Strikers fans who won't get a game to attend tonight and now have 4 home games left weather permitting.

My son is so dissapointed. To lose a home game with the reduced season doesn't leave to many opportunities to see the team you follow.

I get to go to bed

What's the earliest they will call it off? First ball is meant to be 6.45pm. Do you think they will wait until around?

I'm not sure what the policy is but they already know

Well think of this way, the Adelaide Strikers even if tonight get rained out- still have a further 4 fixtures at Adelaide Oval.

Sydney Sixers get exactly 4 home games at the SCG this season, Stars get exactly 4 home games this season at the MCG, Renegades get exactly 4 home games at the Marvel this stadium

I think the Heat will do well this year so might be a blessing in disguise for Adelaide

So 5 games in their home state?

 

[juss]

Why are Heat scheduled for their second game in game 3 of the season when we have basically half the league that hasn't played a game yet?

 

[NYRB]

So 5 games in their home state?

Sixers play their 5th home game in Coffs Harbour, Renegades play their 5th home game in Geelong, Stars play their 5th home game in Albury

Whilst they are home state games, all of those teams have decided to play their 5th game in rural regions.

Where do the Sixers play the Thunder and the Renegades play the Stars?

Adelaide should've played a team in Mt Barker

SCG and MCG . They were never going to take the derbies away from their traditional grounds. And plus fixturing wise they were always going to be playing each other twice in a reduced season of 40 games.

BBL have adopted a similar AFL draw format where they play every team at least once, and play three teams twice.
