[juss]

You would think the Sixers would be too good. Hopefully we get a good game.

 

[NYRB]

Who makes way for the Sydney Sixers if Steve Smith comes back? I'm guessing Jordan Silk?

 

[NYRB]

Thats some shocking fielding from Sean Abbott first ball.

 

[NYRB]

Colin Munro looking switched on early here.

 

[NYRB]

Sean Abbott doesnt look switched on early here.

 

[NYRB]

For a guy that has played for Australia already, Abbott been poor in the field in that 1st over.

 

[eddiesmith]

Not a true New South Welshman not claiming that catch

 

[NYRB]

Head to Head:

Brisbane 3 v 13 Sixers

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Munro still nursing a hangover.

 

[NYRB]

No 2nd life for Colin Munro- he has to depart in the 1st over.

 

[eddiesmith]

For a guy that has played for Australia already, Abbott been poor in the field in that 1st over.

Yet cost them nothing, Munro desperate to not survive the first over gets his wish.

 

[NYRB]

Jordan Silk doesnt drop those.

Give him that 1000 times , he catches that 998 times.

 

[NYRB]

McSweeney the new batsman for the Brisbane Heat

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Can’t be worse than Bryant

 

[NYRB]

I havent seen much of McSweeney bat before.

 

[NYRB]

Josh Brown goes bang for his 2nd Six of the game.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Dwarshius lol

 

[NYRB]

Sydney Sixers look a bit rattled early with their fielding. Not looking quite switched on.

 

[11kgm]

Josh Brown sounds like a fake character in a cricket game

 

[StillAtLarge]

I heard something then, sounded woody

Its taken a while this season but I can write the following words: Brisbane Heat have started well.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Brisbane’s issue is batsmen making starts but not cashing in. Can Brown go big here?
