Stars fielding first

cricinfo says: There is a chance that rain might play spoilsport, with thundershowers predicted for the evening. If we cannot get a game in, the Sydney Thunder will go through by virtue of finishing higher in the league stage.

thundershowers?!

The Sydney Thunder is an appropriate name, the Sydney Showers would be even more appropriate for that rain sodden shithole.

What goes on in this competition that you can go the whole tournament without even being part of a squad, then walk straight into a semi-final team?

Comparing the Stars' signing of Handscomb with the blokes currently in SA and Dubai will proper bum you out!

I believe you should have to have played a minimum number of game/s (even if it's just one) for your team prior to the finals to be eligible to play finals

I'm pretty sure that's a requirement in the WBBL as I know there's been a few times, including this season when the Renegades have bought in an intentional player who's played the last match of the season to qualify for the finals even if then not used in the finals
 
I'm watching Home & Away first so half hour away for me.

Oh dear... semi final time, biggest games, supposedly the biggest tv audiences...

And both networks have served up the worst of their commentary teams.

We are so incredibly poorly served by our sporting media and this weird desire for people to sound like good blokes rather than... you know, experts.
