Big Bash: Adelaide are a real Paine

[Blue Red and Gold]

It already is the rule

I thought you said unless there is an injury or illness?

 

[BRL121]

No, retired is out

Unless it's for an injury or illness.

Was a tactical thing because he was scoring too slowly and they had some fire-power to come.

The commentators have spoken about it a bit, saying that it will become more prevalent.

Can't imagine any batter will take it too well

He's not a good choice for BBL unless you just want to hold up an end. He's been the same all season. He can't really complain, but now he's made a typical racist case of it. The Australians haven't been complaining. In fact, one of them suggested it.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

None of the Strikers are out there long enough to get retired so it's not going to be an issue for us

 

[Interloperer]

Did anyone see this the other night? Hilarious stuff! Should have just run out the message to tread on them

I can't find any source for this report, beyond seeing that text repeated verbatim across many cricket spam accounts on various services.

Rizwan didn't seem particularly aggrieved in the field. And played in their next game (last night).

The consensus from people watching was that it was the Renegades who messed up. Because they had Hassan Khan set at the other end, and the immediately collapsed after retiring Rizwan.

Indian and Pakistani nationalists who didn't watch the game on the other hand...

Didn't they end up l losing any way?

 

[FR0GGY]

You can only come back if you retired for injury or illness.

 

[Interloperer]

Out of random curiosity I decided to compare the Italian and Australian players' T20I stats against Scotland, Ireland, and Netherlands in the last 5 years. Which are the only 3 opponents that both teams have played.

There's not really enough games to be meaningful, but I found it interesting

Harry Manenti is the leading wicket taker , with a respectable strike rate. (Ben Manenti has the outright worst bowling figures)



With the bat. Not so great.

 

[Interloperer]

Steve Smith should be on the plane to the world cup IMHO

The squad can be still changed i believe

 

[Daniel6]

Is the Strikers match on TV anywhere?

If you are a masochist, it should be on Foxtel.

 

[Daniel6]

If you are a masochist, it should be on Foxtel.

lol….removed Foxtel like 5 years ago. So no more foxtel or kayo.

Been very lucky, if the games have not been on channel 7, they have been on Binge, but that doesn’t seem to be the case today.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Looks a better balanced line-up today.

Edit - may be not as they made a late change of Thornton for Kelly.

Why are we playing so many bowlers, particularly when our batting is struggling?

Bowl them out even cheaper and hope one of the batters has a blinder.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

We have used 6 bowlers so far & haven't even used Scott or Short yet.

 

[Interloperer]

Shamsi to get the Rashid Khan bux next year for mine. convince him to stay the whole season.

None of the other three imports were bad, but not at the "**** team balance, these three are too good to ignore" level that was necessary.

 

[Pugsley]

Nothing game. Only good announcement would be Paine sacked.

I dont have an opinion on him either way, but what difference does a cricket coach make.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Trust the Strikers to win when it doesn't matter.

 

[Pugsley]

Not much in his case

 

[Cromulant]

Not much in his case

So you havent got anything.

Cricket is the sport where a coach has the least influence of any.

Paine might be an average coach, but we have a garbage squad as well.

Picking a balanced side would be a good start!

 

[Cromulant]

Well this is true, weve got an unbalanced squad in general.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Well this is true, weve got an unbalanced squad in general.

Still no excuse for going in with 1 less batsman.

 

[Cromulant]

Yeah i dont see the point of having Ross in the squad and not playing him
