BBL The Challenger Adelaide Strikers v Sydney Sixers @ the SCG Weds Jan 26 1855 ACDT

[Crashy]

And easy to say now but I would've tried to push a couple of overs out of Travis Head. Siddle ideally bowls over 18 and 20, best death bowler in the team by a fair margin.

Pretty amazing Short got away with bowling 4 overs so many times

 

[Crashy]

Renshaw with a one way ticket to Snowtown.

I'd send him to Port Augusta, much worse!

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Kerr will get a match-winning tonne now.

Close enough.

yeah im surprised. those darty slow bowlers are gold when they get it right

 

[RandB]

If he’s bowling at the death it’s never ending well

Obviously we've seen better death bowlers for sure but I think Sids should have just let him go.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Or Cartwright or Sams as a smoky that can bat down the order and clear the boundary from the outset

Sams more likely as he’s been around the squad before.

 

[Coasters7]

Too many morons on here who don’t know the rules of the game and are now whinging when a team uses the rules to their advantage. Pathetic.

Exploiting uncommon rules to gain an advantage and change the outcome is fair according to the rule book but it’s a bit of a scummy move to win a final imo. They sent the bloke out there to begin with, live with it

Mistake was not having Siddle bowling either the 19th or 20th

You are allowed to retire out it happens literally every tour game

Kerr might not be a bad choice to develop too.

His bowling has been pretty good all season with 24 wickets, and first time batting up the order he does that.

With the last picked that probably won't play anyway, why not give him a go?

 

[RW]

I honestly hope more batsmen in T20's will retire themselves when they know their innings is a detriment on the team's efforts.

I would personally give each team a maximum of 2 tactical retirements for them to use (or not use) during their innings as they see fit.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

About the same as Carey I reckon.

Our test keeper LOLLLLLLL

 

[Coasters7]

Has anyone ever done it in this context though? Like I said, it’s fair according to the rules but it’s a bit of a shitty move to pull to win a game

Retire then potentially come back?

 

[balmainforever]

If it wasn’t for international rules not allowing runners for injured batsmen, we wouldn’t be talking about this.
Silk would’ve been allowed a runner

Happened on occasions it’s rare but sometimes

I think once you retire you should be out - it's only a 20-over game

 

[LukeParkerno1]

The Ranatunga rule
Lol

For good reason too, that rule was exploited badly

Then you start getting into baseball pinch hitter type stuff.

I think Silk was injured clearly, they sent him out, but he then wasn't thought to be fit enough to do what was required which was run.

The retirement is eyebrow raising, but fair game in the circumstances.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Worrall was our best bowler last season

That's direct from his mouth

 

[Crashy]

They played an injured player, should not have been allowed a sub fielder

 

[BStaff17]

Tbh i found runners were more of a hinderence to the batting team. How many runouts happened when there was runner out there due to confusion and the other runner not being in the line of sight at the strikers end.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Who? OKeefe? He got injured this game.

 

[Coasters7]

I don’t mind sending a bloke back out after he’s injured himself in his innings but I don’t reckon you should get the option if he’s already injured, that’s their fault for taking the gamble on him (hard to police obviously).
