Every West Aussie on the planet will be on this thread if we lose this one.

 

[Some Idiot]

It's like Katto in the " 434 " game

Our biggest mistake was getting Dippenar out in that game lol

 

[eddiesmith]

I reckon Hobart will do a South Africa at Wanderers in 2006 and win this.

Well the last time Hobart conceded a then BBL record total they did chase it down!

 

[tigs2010]

Surely tear up Larkin’s contract during the innings break

When Australia scored 434 at the Wanderers in the 2006, Jacques Kallis told his team the Aussies were about 10 short and we know how that played out. It'd be funny and a tad embarrassing if the Stars end up a few runs short here. C'mon Hurricanes, entertain us neutrals watching and go close!

 

[corbies]

It's a 280 pitch. They're 7 short.

 

[juice t]

The Stars should count themselves lucky Scott Boland didn't play

If he did, they'd have only scored 260

 

[Coasters7]

An all out 89 wouldn't be great for confidence.

I don’t see how they don’t get rolled here. They aren’t chasing it. But the only option is to come in and swing hard from the get go. Quite a few shots from the Stars didn’t go to hand that could have, I don’t expect the luck to continue

Our biggest mistake was getting Dippenar out in that game lol

And playing Lewis

Now all the test players are free to play BBL, this might be their last chance for enjoyment from this campaign

 

[Jimthegreat]

remember the days when 267 in a 50 over game was acceptable at the MCG

It was good enough to win a Test Match by an innings...lol.

 

[DEVO]

Eight bowlers used, and none of them have an ER lower the 10.66. That is embarrassing.

 

[KBLT]

That Hobart bowling scorecard must be like dark mode users coming back to Big Footy after the site upgrade

 

[eddiesmith]

And playing Lewis

And Clark. If he bowled 10 instead of Lewis he holds the record…

1/32 off 3 as the best figures

 

[Whiskers]

Like I said that record should have an asterisk next to it with this 2nd rate bowling attack,

All records like this come from the opposition being a shambles.
Records are records mate.

 

[troybe]

Great innings by Maxy. 22 4s 4 6s. Great to watch at the ground. Stoinplod had a top cameo too

Canes have them right where they want them

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Trust Maxwell to save an innings like that for when their season is over and there's zero stakes.

They were mostly missing batsmen, they still had a decent bowling attack and they had no choice, the Hurricanes chose to rest players and play garbage bowlers.

The Hurricanes made a choice to give their squad bowlers a game in case they need them in finals.

It’s still players good enough to play in a BBL squad. This is only a dead rubber cos the Sixers threw a game.

Jordan Thompson had an excuse given he played a 5 setter at the Aus Open yesterday....haha.

I'll see myself out....lol.

Both Sydney sides looked good today, good luck in the finals!

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Pity Stars didn’t make the finals, those 2 Covid hit games were costly, and in another game where they just batted poorly

Stars need to recruit a couple decent bowlers next season, preferably a class overseas pace bowler who is going be there for the whole season

Next season Maxwell should open the battingfrom the start next season
