Big Bash: Striker Time

[Pugsley]

How many times has Warner carried his bat in a T20 in the 2nd innings & lost?

Very rare I'd say.

 

[Samcro24]

The best part was Warner having an over to get 13 and not being able to score

Dat reverse whatever it was

 

[Redline]

Amazing bowling effort from all bowlers. People will say that the BBL is second rate but guys like Overton and Wood are world class. Hassan was good, Pope is underated. It kept our season alive, a smaller crowd but a good atmosphere

 

[Interloperer]

It was an impeccable final over from Luke Wood.

But 13 is not a big enough target to justify turning down singles at the start of the final over, unless it's a genuine number 10/11 at the other end IMHO. A big strategic blunder from Warner.

 

[Cromulant]

Check out the playing XI on cricinfo.

He's classified as an import.

Lol, illegal. It's a CA classification system. He plays internationally for Italy.

Tom Cooper played for the Netherlands and wasnt an import.

Manenti is NOT an import. CricInfo is wrong.

Wood, Overton and Ali are... and Shamzi was.

That was weird. Just Warner wanting to be a hero.McAndrew would have tried for a single and rotated the strike.
In T20 with 7 wickets down, the No 9 batter is not usually a total dud batsman.

McAndrew strikes at 150.

McAndrew strikes at 150.

. Dumb by Warner not taking the run. If it were Maxwell, then maybe.

David Warner plays for Team Warner. I is team in his case.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Has anyone mentioned that crowd one-handed catch by the guy holding 2 cans of beer? Brilliant.

 

[spenze]

And Ben Duckett can't catch with both hands free

Does that prove that multiple beers improve your sporting ability?

At the 8 ball table...yep

Not for Duckett it hasnt.

How many times has Warner carried his bat in a T20 in the 2nd innings & lost?

I know not both the second innings but that’s twice in 4 days.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

We're playing in Hobart tomorrow night

Another spin to win game? Shamsi in, Ali out. Maybe Hassan Ali is scared of flying?

Hopefully Ross replaces Manenti in the middle order

 

[Eagleboy2011]

I saw this last night, and I agree. He totally controlled it. Whatever made the umpire even question it?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

They changed the rules after that Starc catch in England

Now if the ball touches the ground during a catch it's not out, even if it's under full control in the hands

Seems wrong to me - the Ashton Turner one should be a catch as far as I'm concerned - but that is the current interpretation

Change the rule back to as we knew it.

There was one the other night in the strikers game either Lynn or short was caught and the bloke out the ball on the ground as he slid forward on his knees.
They didn’t even look at it.

 

[Interloperer]

The law (33.3) was changed to it's current wording well before the Starc catch.

Here are the Laws of Cricket 2017 (v2 2019) thanks to the Victor Harbor Cricket Club website:


Here is the current law:



I'm pretty sure I remember South Australia being robbed of a catch under similar circumstances in the Mercantile Mutual Cup in the late 90s. But I have no idea where to find documentation of this happening.

 

[FR0GGY]

Big chase coming up.
Hurricanes 41 off 2.2 overs

 

[Interloperer]

Decent recovery from the bowlers but I think the Hurricanes can just keep slogging and get a good score even if they get bowled out.

I can see Pope being in the picture for the Australian side in the coming years.

Strikers are trash.
