BBL Game 5 Hobart Hurricanes v Sydney Sixers 1845hrs @ UTAS Stadium

[NYRB]

Not that the level of the BBL has ever reached any great heights but it has really fallen off a cliff lately.

There’s a severe lack of depth currently at the domestic level.

There is a reason why Australia didnt make the T20 World Cup semi finals on home soil last season.

Based on what we have seen last 12 months, still not convinced Aussies are a shoe-in for semi finals next year.

Our best side goes close to winning it but don’t trust us picking our best side? These are the same selectors that didn’t pick Ellis in our last t20 squad and Sam Curran who is a left arm Ellis was player of the tournament…

Those flames add nothing to the game or experience

Ground seems a lot bigger at Launceston compared to the GABBA. Not just if its me but clearing the gates needs a clean hit tonight, like that from Jordan.

I guess at the game it may add something? Saying that I've never been to a Big Bash game

Kids love it and you have to remember that’s the audience these target

 

[DEVO]

Great catch from Vince

 

[candyapple]

Good catch that

 

[LukeParkerno1]

How bad are the 3 bats below Dooley lol

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Oh boy Meredith has got a promotion

Slim Shady

Is Ellis as captain permanent?

Maybe they've seen the light and turfed Wade.

Not much point when Wade isn’t around much longer

 

[western royboy]

Surely the Hurricanes have to take the surge while Anderson is still there.

No guarantee to get on strike with Dooley batting

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Drinking game surge lol

You’ll be plastered

Has to be on strike first lol

What do you mean?

He's not retiring is he?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

What do you mean?

He's not retiring is he?

He won’t be there THAT much longer let’s be real maybe a year or two. He can help these newer captains I’d have gone McDermott personally

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Take the surge with Dooley on strike good plan lol

 

[candyapple]

Ellis can hit better than this bloke

 

[Torz]

Dooley headbutting every ball is a bold tactic by the Canes.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Dooley batting more like a no.11

Surely they could have sent in someone better than him.

They have 3 of them- Hats and Meredith can’t bat

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Why would you take singles

 

[PhatBoy]

They can call a game off for being too dangerous for a ball two feet outside off stump popping up around rib height but they allow this batsman to face professional bowlers.

Right.
