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

[LukeParkerno1]

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.

We play Matt Gilkes!

He is much worse!

Ian Healy has been in a good paddock lately

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.

I'd give him 2 season including this one. Not like we have options.

Open with Kelly could be an option. You can’t have an opener that wastes half the powerplay

 

[Moonwatcher]

Nielsen what a star!

I cannot believe Manenti has BBL contract, he hasn’t found the middle of the bat once. He makes Pigeon look like a batting maestro.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Yeah, you're right.

Just looked it up you nominated Canberra for your home final if you made it

Reckon the contract is part of what we offered him to come to the redbacks.

 

[Redline]

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

Very true but that was a poor run chase and we have had some luck along the way.

Will be interesting if cricket Australia choose to play the BBL finals during the Adelaide test every year.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

There’s 4 batsmen worse than Manenti?

 

[gtrxuone]

Been a great response from the Heat. A lot thought Adelaide where heading to the final
Manenti has faced 12 balls.Hasnt come close to hitting the middle of his bat.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Just cooked the perfect eye fillet

 

[k31th]

yeah, Manenti was good to watch /sarcasm

 

[NYRB]

Cant deny the best two teams made the Grand Final this season.

Last year when Brisbane made it, we werent sure if it was with a bit of luck.

Dont think Perth or Adelaide were going to come close to the Sixers at the SCG.

This year was a weird year think we’ll revert to the norm next year with India

 

[Moonwatcher]

The challenger - Semi Final where the Heat play the cricket challenged Strikers.

I didn’t think I’d be up for Nielsen batting like he’s protecting run rate when his team needs three runs a ball but it’s somehow compelling.

 

[gtrxuone]

Nielsen what a star!

He lacks the brute power of a Maxwell, Evans,Lynn.But hits the gaps in the field.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Bazely hits 1 more in the middle than tub Maneti did in 10 balls

He is eyeing a 50

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Neilsen 30 not out lol

 

[DEVO]

Reckon the contract is part of what we offered him to come to the redbacks.

Sounds like a very poor deal for SA cricket, I’m not even sure he knows how to hold bat. His dismissal he missed the ball by a mile, you could steer a cruise ship through the gap.

Australia was like 3 or 4 % against Afghanistan.
