Live Event Big Bash New years day double header game day thread.

After seeing a bowler taken out of the attack in the first over of a shield game for 2 beamers that we’re off the pitch so no danger at all, I have no sympathy for that pie chucker tonight

 

[Admiral Byng]

what an odd last over...

Anyway, my prediction is 75% chance the Chunder will fall in a heap going for too many big hits, maybe 25% chance they'll get one or decent partnerships together and go close.

Was that not a ball short there in the last over?

Was that not a ball short there in the last over?

Just feels that way because of the wicket.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Do have to enjoy stories such as Short’s, told that he was an overweight lazy kid by Langer when he took over as WA coach, now 5 years on, playing regularly across all 3 formats and showing what he’s capable of.

 

[drd23]

Was that not a ball short there in the last over?

Don't think so.

Short got out on the 2nd last ball of the over > Went to a quick ad break > Returned for last ball which was hit to point for 1 run > Interview w Short at end of innings

Very good score, Thunder's bowling was terrible to be honest. Need Watson/Butler to go big or else Canes to get home easily.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

As if it's not hard enough to be a bowler in T20 cricket... that 2 "beamers" and you're out rule doesn't work in this format of the game. When it's invariably caused by slower balls getting stuck in the fingers, they're hardly dangerous.

Nah, that's one good rule across all forms of cricket, don't be bowling beamers.

 

[ams4crows]

Heaps more entertaining game than last night

 

[Wolfs]

Does Clive turn the ball or is it just angle?

 

[HBF]

Want the Canes to win so Junior gets all salty.

 

[corbies]

"Nice Clivey" just isn't the same

 

[gtrxuone]

It's all set up for Wato.He been striking the ball well in previous games.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Does Clive turn the ball or is it just angle?

He’s Clive, the slightly-too-straight left armer.

 

[HBF]

Thunder really need a good start.

 

[Hamingja]

Flat out quick bowling with the short boundaries = big issues for Mills.

 

[Admiral Byng]

Thunder really need a good start.

they need a good start and a good middle

 

[corbies]

Your daily reminder that someone is paying this bloke $2.3 million.

 

[Wolfs]

God, I remember when Mills was touted to be a test bowler. Geez

 

[HBF]

Mills might be quick, but he sure does bowl some pies.

 

[Hamingja]

Your daily reminder that someone is paying this bloke $2.3 million.

Canes were certainly hood winked. Might as well just play Jake Reed.

 

[ep2018]

Lol thats fcuking lazy fielding.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Canes are the only team in the league I'm confident could lose this lol.

 

[Wolfs]

On a diff topic that Indians are like "Mitch Marsh wouldn't have been sold in the auction" as a reason why he is ditching the IPL.

Bruh....

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Has M Waugh considered that maybe the wicket is good?
