Apparently this match will start at the conclusion of the Strikers match. Hope the game isn't delayed too long.

Mike Hussey: "I remember a few years ago when the Heat came from nowhere and won the title". Huss, it was a decade ago mate.

For pre match entertainment, I want Boof, Darren Berry and James Hopes to have a race in the form of a lap around the Gabba.

For Adelaide v Perth post-game entertainment , I wanted to see: Colin DeGrandhomme, Ben Manenti and Carl Hooper have race at the Adelaide Oval.

I'd rather Hopes and Berry run a lap around Boof TBH.

Brad Haddin the other day said something like 'The Heat are renowned for starting slow and causing havoc late in the season'. Yes they won a title 10 years ago and I believe made a prelim in similar circumstances in the covid season but that's hardly being 'renowned' for it.

In 2020-21 the Heat finished 4th and won the 4th vs 5th final but lost to the 3rd placed Thunder in their next final.

I think the Heat made a semi final in the days of the final 4 when Brendan McCullum, sorry Baz, was captain of the Heat.

Outside of that, they've promised plenty but delivered little since pinching a title from 4th in 2013.

 

[NYRB]

Think the other teams are starting to figure Brown out.

 

[11kgm]

Brown was a flash in the pan a pub cricketer that got lucky

 

[sherb]

Wasn't Brown hyped up to be the next big thing?

For one game

 

[NYRB]

thats a big wicket for Hobart in the context of this game.

 

[NSWCROW]

CHIRP

 

[Moonwatcher]

So I reckon the Strikers want the Hurricanes to win tonight and to lose their final match. Heat and Strikers can then win their final matches with the Strikers finishing above the Heat by 1 point and above the Hurricanes on NRR.

Never stop believing

 

[HTPunter]

Why is there so much pressure on the bowling team for over rate but batting teams can have a gloves change 1 over before drinks

 

[NYRB]

Matthew Wades body language as a captain is pi$$ poor when the little things go against his team or the team lets him down.

 

[NYRB]

These guys need to take the Power Surge soon, gotta get a bit of momentum in the innings soon.

 

[NYRB]

43 off 37 , they have had a look-in , and I'm not buying a bar of soap they need another over or 2 to get into their groove.
