BBL Match 41 The Qualifier Brisbane Heat v Sydney Sixers 1910hrs @ Carrara

[NYRB]

Dont underestimate the value of Colin Munro and Sam Billings. After this game comfortable to say Khawaja and Labuschagne in their brief appearances are better than Josh Brown and McSweeney.

Brisbane v Winner of Perth/Adelaide will be at Carrara

I’d suggest flooding the pitch tonight and a lot of cross rolling if you want anything different

 

[DEVO]

Heat 2/18 in the surge, Sixers were 0/38.

 

[PhatBoy]

I hope the commentators say Tall Paul a lot more in the future

 

[DEVO]

I'm feeling confident now.

Another question...has Carrara been ruled out as an alternative to the GABBA during the latter's reconstruction? (as far as cricket is concerned - I know the Lions will go to one of the other ovals)

 

[Cleavy]

They need Jake Lehmann back

No one needs that

The state govt might pull the pin on the whole redevelopment.

They can start engraving the Sixers name on the BBL trophy right now. They've handed pit a lesson to the Brisbane Heat.

 

[western royboy]

This pitch hasn't helped the Heat, it's more like a Sydney pitch than a Brisbane one.

It’s corrugated - got waves in it - it’s not a Sydney pitch or a Brisbane pitch - just a poor one

Have heard that

Of The Gabba?

Big trouble for the Heat now.
Sixers are so professional in the field
Moses field placements are spot on again.
The bowlers bowl great lines to their field placements

 

[CakeEater]

The heat

When it's not your day it's really not your day

 

[Santana]

What's up with the pitch?

 

[NYRB]

Moises Henriques is the best captain of the 4 teams remaining, dont doubt that.

Ashton Turner would have challenged him had he been fit.

 

[western royboy]

When Dwarshuis gets 4/11 you know it isn't a good batting pitch.



Hughes and Henriques batted a lot better on this pitch than the Heat batsmen so I would say it's more of a Sydney pitch than a Brisbane one.

You need to ask yourself why they batted better? And it’s got nothing to do with it being a Sydney style pitch

 

[DEVO]

For the first 6/7 games I thought the Sixers were a little lucky be sitting in the top 4, they weren't playing very well, but one or two players were popping at the right time to get them over line, but since the victory over the Stars things have started to come together, Henriques has started scoring, as has Phillippe, and Hughes has come in and looked like the best batter in the tournament. Add to that Abbott and Dwarshius finding some form with the ball and Edwards improving with every game and suddenly the Sixers look like they are good enough to go all the way.

One of the Sixer players after the Perth win mentioned that they had played a fair on the Gold Coast during COVID, so they were familiar with the ground. They are playing like a team that knows this ground right now.

I dont think Sixers would have been this good had they played this up at the GABBA thats for sure.

 

[western royboy]

Of The Gabba?

Yep - all of the Olympics Redevelopments are up in the air so I’m told

It's not a good pitch though especially for a T20.

Or, more likely, the batted more sensibly and didn't panic when the Sixers were in trouble.

 

[DEVO]

That may be the greatest C&B I've ever seen.

 

[NYRB]

What a catch from Edwards, that must have been coming back like a bullet at around 160km/hr+

 

[largebus]

You're joking what a catch. When it rains it pours
