Big Bash: Please don't mention the Manenti in the room

[FR0GGY]

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.

That ship has sailed.
Just checked and he’s 26!
Thought he was north of 36!

 

[Eagleboy2011]

A score of well over 200 looked on the cards at one stage. 178 is a good score for us atm.

Not necessarily.

12 months ago,I would have said the same thing about Jake Weatherald and he had now played the entire summer of an Ashes series.

Plus, the Australian selectors are not afraid to give a debut to a player older than 20. Unlike the AFL, they pick players in their late 20s to early 30’s.

If Lloyd Pope ever represents Australia, my money would be on a T20 game. That’s where his skill set are best used.

He looks 40. But also it feels like his long hair and 7 wicket innings were 2 years ago.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

175 is the average first innings score so did well to get it to that.

Still think it will be way too many.

I feel like he’s been around for years.

He just looks average to me.

You are probably right, and in reality he’s got no shot, but you just never know.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Short has been getting out caught in the covers every game

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Meredith bowling gas

 

[Daniel6]

Strikers are trash.

Strikers are trash.

Just rubbish.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Will we pass the follow on?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Just rubbish.

Gotta be the worst batting line-up ever assembled in the history of the Big Bash.

 

[FR0GGY]

Can we beat the record we set bowling for the lowest total?

 

[Daniel6]

Sack Tim Paine. Useless coach.

 

[Daniel6]

Deep down, they are still the Redbacks.

 

[crowholder]

If Scott was not in the side, we would struggle to get 50

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Will we pass the follow on?

Now known as the Adelaide Stinkers.

Perhaps they want to fly home tonight.

There is little about this group that suggests that we can get close threatening the best sides.

 

[Cromulant]

You did say this early last game.... which we won

Its much like the A League, the desperately want the big market sides to win

 

[FR0GGY]

Lol

They won in spite of him, not because of him.

 

[Cromulant]

There's very few sports that coaches have smaller influence than cricket.

Paine might be a rubbish coach but we have a rubbish squad. That's the biggest issue, particularly on the batting side.

Yeah, this is correct.

 

[Interloperer]

For the curious. Liam Scott is 10 runs behind AC Bannerman's percentage so far.
