BBL Qualifier Perth Scorchers v Sydney Sixers @ Marvel Stadium Sat 22 Jan 1845 ACDT

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Surely in the era of being ultra flexible to get things happening, adjusting the draw, swapping ovals, bringing in replacement players, morning matches etc there could have been a mechanism to allow Smith to play when the international fixture changed.

Everything is flexible except they need to stick to this one rule they brought in two weeks ago.

But integrity of the competition is more important. Integrity of this popcorn light entertainment made for TV moneyspinner competition.

What a letdown this is without a crowd. They shoulve had a week or 2 off before the finals and played in front of a full house at Optus. Not to mention the revenue they couldve earnt.

Marvel is a chase friendly venue isn't it?

not really... scoreboard pressure often causes players to try and hit too straight to balls deliberately fuller and then holing out on the long-on and long-off boundaries. If you don't bowl too short and open up the shorter square boundaries, it can be deceptive to chase

 

[k31th]

solid over from Christian, just 6 off it

This s**t has been dragging on for too long as it is and you want to extend it. Terrible idea.

 

[k31th]

that's so lucky off Patterson's blade that it went so far behind the keeper.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I’m a boring prick obviously but I have doubts whether Head, Carey, Richardson, Lyon etc should be out there either.

Limit it to 4 or more qualifying games to be able to play finals…that would at least keep it consistent.

Don’t mind it as it is. If you have a contract you can play

 

[ep2018]

I cant believe Lyon is in the team tonight.

 

[amazingjoshy]

It's pretty clear cut I'd have thought

What other sport do u have to watch? Tennis or the AWFL.

Blame the bloke in charge who STILL won’t open up. You are asking players to quarantine again, that’s not really fair on them when we don’t have a spare two weeks

 

[LukeParkerno1]

It's pretty clear cut I'd have thought

It’s pretty clear right now don’t sign then you aren’t playing

 

[amazingjoshy]

It’s pretty clear right now don’t sign then you aren’t playing

I'm agreeing with you

 

[ep2018]

No one will beat us playing like this.

 

[k31th]

nice fiddy from Kurtis... off 33 balls is pretty good

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Scorchers did something England didn’t realise…they realised Lyon doesn’t turn the thing

 

[Bungeye]

It looks like it's game over!

Anyone for tennis?

 

[k31th]

nice fifty from Inglis, too... just 32, pipping Patterson

 

[CakeEater]

Dont bowl there kerr

 

[Bungeye]

We're fast approaching the magical 170 marker, the point of no return for the Sydney Sixers!

 

[CakeEater]

But do bowl there kerr

 

[Andronicus]

taking a backseat to Patterson while going at a better strike rate. Makes sense.

 

[ep2018]

Uh oh, here comes Marsh.

Lyon has turned quite a few tonight, which you would realise if you watched the game.
