SHORT! Is there anything he can't do?

 

[Hamingja]

Hahaha only way the canes can take a wicket.

 

[G Mus]

D'Arcy Midas touch

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Haha how’s the salt from Waugh...seriously.

 

[HBF]

What a shit way to go out.

 

[GeelongFTW]

Because he bowls pump?

Can't be worse than mills surely?

 

[Cleavy]

Christian can't bowl any worse than Mills, surely.

 

[Hamingja]

The good news for the canes is if they can get another wicket they are into the tail.

 

[BluesMan]

Can't be worse than mills surely?

No probably not

 

[Rob]

Unlucky.

If he held his ground the umpire would have given it not out. No way the camera shows Short touching the ball.

Why he walked god only knows.

 

[nobbyiscool]

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

They aren't bowling beamers cos they screw up a 150 km/h yorker though, and they certainly aren't doing it deliberately. They're doing it attempting a change of pace, which is one of the few weapons a bowler has in T20.

I wouldn't mind giving the umps a bit of discretion here. The intent of the rule is to stop dangerous bowling - so it'd be a pretty easy rule change if a bowler is taken out of the attack for 2 "dangerous" deliveries, rather than just 2 full tosses above waist height.

It's not a big bug bear I guess, it doesn't happen that often. And I'm only proposing that you'd change it for T20 games, where at most it's only affecting 4 overs.

Discretion leads to grey areas. The rule is perfect as is. Don’t be a gimp who bowls 2 beamers and you’ll be fine.

yep

a terrible decision to walk

 

[drd23]

Great job to save the six

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Might not of caught him but saved a 6.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Thats a ****ing fantastic effort.

 

[Hamingja]

Sensational fielding.

 

[Power Raid]

that was impressive fielding

 

[HBF]

Great fielding

 

[gtrxuone]

Brilliant fielding by Dan Christian.

 

[Power Raid]

nicely played

 

[Hamingja]

I remember Milenko taking a 4fa, maybe in his first game for Hobart, so surprised he hasn't had a bowl. Would have given him an over in the powerplay instead of Mills' second.

 

[Power Raid]

laughable

 

[The_Snake]

That's awful.

 

[Hamingja]

Disgraceful Archer, just dropped the match.
