Suspect if Adelaide don't win today they won't make the top 5.

Head and Carey are massive inclusions.
Think you will get the chocolates at home against Brisbane.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Waaaaaay too hot to venture over the bridge today.

3.30pm start in the middle of January at AO……not too smart.

Most local cricket would have been called off though, a few would go down surely?

 

[NYRB]

Just saw the temperature , 37 degrees in the day at Adelaide will be hot.

[Crocodile Dumbdee]

Pretty much 40 degrees at the Adelaide weather station. Furnace in the middle. Why isnt this scheduled for a night game?

 

[Aussie_boy]

Of all games for the Heat to wear their black uniform...

The Strikers look like they just threw magnets onto a whiteboard picking that team. 5 bowlers plus Short and Head that's without even mentioning de Grandhomme. Also Conway.... At least all the batting responsibility is on 4 guys today rather than 2

 

[ep2018]

You'd almost want to bat first in this heat.

 

[NYRB]

Adam Hose with a dolly

 

[sydney_gws]

Hopefully a good game, their have been alot of dud games recently in Big Bash.

 

[NYRB]

Mitch Marsh in the commentary box should be good value, one of the few current cricketers with a personality.



Would have made more sense to schedule the game at Marvel stadium earlier and this game later in the evening but CA using common sense is a rarity.

He is a sh1t bloke and highly overrated.

He cant avoid injury.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Hose you absolute potato

Cost us the last game against Brisbane and then drops that, shows how bad the Strikers are on a fielding front when he's in a key spot

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Brown riding his luck.

 

[NYRB]

So far Mitch Marsh commentary is no better than a : Bing Lee or Brendon Julian.

More along the lines of a Drew Banfield on the boundary rider.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Shocking drop from Hose.

You are shocked?

 

[Moonwatcher]

Reckon we have lost at least 2 matches based on drops. Also won the 230 game thanks to Short being dropped twice.

 

[MJG14]

He is a sh1t bloke and highly overrated.

Curious as to why you think this? He seems like a decent guy to me.

 

[Plugger35]

He is injury prone but that doesn't make him a sh*t bloke unless you know something about him I don't.

They need to get a few drinks into him to liven him up.

He wouldnt get a selfie photo with me in Sydney when he was out with his WA teammates a few years back.

 

[ptrg]

Hahaha, both teams have gone for a black-based indigenous design despite neither having that as their teams colour (Heat‘s is atrocious - the corporate logo is bigger than the design!)

yeah yeah, they didn’t know it would be really hot in the middle of an Aussie summer, but absolutely a case of form over function. It’s summer - what the hell were they thinking in agreeing to wear these kits?

 

[Moonwatcher]

Conway the Destroyer!

 

[NYRB]

IN all seriousness, id be surprised at whatever age he is now, if Bison gets back and to the international stage again winning stuff. he is too injury prone for me.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Conway you ripper!!!

Knocks over Uzzie’s castle.
