Team that bats first will win this one IMO, regardless of who wins the toss.

 

[Mr Taswegian]

Hopefully a good crowd considering it's a new years day game.

[NYRB]

The average Powerplay in the first 4 overs in the Power Surge Era at the Blundstone is 27 runs from 20 games.

Do we see under or over 27 runs at the Blundstone today from Sydney Thunder?

 

[NYRB]

Thats the million dollar question today, do we see Hales and Bancroft go bananas in the powerplay? I dont think Hobart have been that impressive with the ball this season. And it seems to me batters this season have figured out Dooley in his 2nd year.

 

[NYRB]

Their playing on the same pitch as the Hobart Hurricanes v Melbourne Stars game the other night which is interesting. You would have though a fresh pitch for a new year.

International Sam Hain has been dropped considering he hasn't made any runs.

 

[NYRB]

New Years Day with: Mark Waugh, Brad Haddin, Brendon Julian and Megan Barnard on Kayo. No Channel 7 option today.

 

[NYRB]

International Sam Hain has been dropped considering he hasn't made any runs.

Probably the right call as he hasnt really set the world on fire.

 

[NYRB]

One of the square boundaries at the Blundstone is 57 metres, no doubt the batters will be aiming for that square boundary if possible.

 

[NYRB]

This game has all of a sudden huge implications, given Stars v Renegades both teams outside the Top 3, match looks like going to be a washed out game tomorrow.

Its a real 4 pointer today in Hobart.

 

[NYRB]

No Bias in the commentary today, Mark Waugh is behind his Sydney Chunder today.

 

[NYRB]

This might be a stupid suggestion but they shouldnt have commentators commentating games whose team they support.

eg Haddin and Lee with the Sixers, BJ with the Scorchers, Junior with the Thunder, Brad Hodge with the Stars or Renegades

 

[Mr Taswegian]

International Sam Hain has been dropped considering he hasn't made any runs.

Hobart has always had a habit of getting the worst out of most of it's internationals unfortunately.

 

[NYRB]

Looks like good conditions for bowling early , especially this over from Meredith.

 

[NYRB]

Hales lucky there, that could have gone anywhere. Great 1st over from Meredith.

 

[Aussie_boy]

When are these ever out?

 

[candyapple]

Canes didn't review that did they?

Edit. they did lol

 

[NSWCROW]

Done everything BUT get him out there lol

 

[NSWCROW]

Canes didn't review that did they?

Umps did

 

[NYRB]

Canes didn't review that did they?

No review. umps went upstairs to check if it was a clean catch but clearly not bat on that.

 

[NYRB]

A bit of an innovation from Banners.

 

[candyapple]

Umps did

Said review lost on the screen

surely they cant check the lbw if its ump review

 

[NYRB]

You wont see him playing that shot in red ball cricket thats for sure.
