BBL Match 43 The Challenger Brisbane Heat v Adelaide Strikers 1910hrs @ Carrara

[LukeParkerno1]

You’d assume Renshaw is out from the final with the concerns over Head and the test beginning Thursday

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

He’s a genuine moron. This is why this state is a laughing stock. Too s**t scared to change and make hard calls on anything. You’d be laughing if you were the toilet paper supplier to the Saca in 1878 you’d still be in business!

Gotta keep daddy happy

 

[JimmyBC]

Ah Ned such is life.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Johnson has impressed me a lot more than Bartlett tonight.

There’s a reason IPL sides went nuts for him.

Watch Nielsen chew them for a run a ball 30. One of the biggest tossers and most selfish cricketers going.

I'm really not worrying about minor things like this tbh. The difference between the two sides is one freak innings (who else has really got going?) and the Heat having a far superior bowling attack. Strikers were always on borrowed time this season, all good to see the best two teams in the final.

Fair enough. Im a neutral so just want to watch good games. Its already bad enough that both teams have terrible batting lineups for finals but then it gets unwatchable when teams dont even do the basics to try and win and just go through the motions without giving it their all tactically.

He’s looked composed at the crease! Better than Darcy

 

[Chuckie357]

Did Manenti once open for the Sydney sixers?

 

[gtrxuone]

Didn't realise Darcy Short was 33yo he's never playing for Australia again, had a nice patch a couple of years ago looks a plodder now.

He likes the ball to come onto the bat.Green top wickets.

Gotta keep daddy happy

I’m talking about more than his selection

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Shot!

What a beautiful shot by Harry using the speed of the ball

 

[Gift]

Stars are notorious for not giving a * with their strategy/decision making in BBL which is why they are always at the bottom even though they have Maxwell

 

[Moonwatcher]

Just when I thought I'd never have to hear Flintoff sing Elvis again.

The batting or the pie shop?

 

[Moonwatcher]

Yeah I wanted Dizzy and others
gone after New Years but he has turned it around.

Score 2 more runs agains the 6ers and we play a home final

 

[LukeParkerno1]

It’s been a night for tubby blokes so maybe Manneti can win it

 

[gtrxuone]

3 of the last 4 balls faced.Neilsen has shown all his stumps.Yorker coming soon.

Wouldn’t have been at AO though forget where you had nominated your home finals to be held. Only sides that had home finals were Perth, Melbourne and Sydney sides

 

[Chuckie357]

The batting or the pie shop?

Both. Swear I saw him open the batting at Adelaide oval once

A decent knock from Kelly, a young bloke the Strikers should stick with, has some striking ability.



I don't think so, they aren't that bad.

Gillespie has no idea. He had a great season the year before or last and then he never picked him

 

[hutchy31]

Weatherald has made his last 3 50s in pressure situations when any loss sent us packing. Also made 100 in a BBL final. Maybe want to recheck your facts before posting absolute crap next time.

There’s a reason why he doesn’t play every game. He’s a flaky batter and fielder. No fact checking required, thanks though.

Opened the bowling a few times

 

[Redline]

NIELSON IS LITERALLY BLOCKING IT CHASING 200. get out ya flog

Padding his stats.

We are just about the only T20 franchise world wide that plays a specialist keeper. It leaves us a bowler or batter short every game.

 

[gtrxuone]

Almost need 3 runs per ball.Harry needs to put a couple over the fence.

 

[NYRB]

D'Arcy Short rank at the time (checking for Strike Rates in the comp) I checked tonight for BBL13, was ranked 69th of all BBL players- thats pretty poor for an opener , a player that gets full use of the powerplays in the opening 4 overs.

Strike rates behind the likes of: de Kock, Vince, Tom Rogers, Caleb Jewell, Labuschagne, Wade, Munro, Hales who all bat in the top 3 in comparison.


I think Adelaide should move on from D'Arcy Short personally and i doubt he can get to the peak of his powers again. Strikes me as a player similar to Stoinis, he will give his 1-2 good games a year. Even the game where he scored 54 off 47 against the Gades this season, one has to question even if that was a great innings.

Yeah, you're right.
