Big Bash: Adelaide are a real Paine

[FR0GGY]

What?

 

[Daniel6]

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

I ask this respectfully, but who is AC Bannerman?

 

[FR0GGY]

Lloyd Ranatunga

 

[Interloperer]

I ask this respectfully, but who is AC Bannerman?

Charles Bannerman opened the batting for Australia in the first ever test match in 1877. He scored 165* (retired hurt) out of Australia's first innings total of 245.

Which is 67.35% of the total. It is still the world record in tests for the highest percentage of runs by one batter in a completed innings.

Excellent knowledge you have. Thank you for passing it on.

 

[spenze]

Surely, there is someone in grade cricket we can get to play instead of Manetti

 

[BRL121]

Short has been getting out caught in the covers every game

Short and Lynn are way overrated: they're there to get talked up by the commentators to fail.

Lynn is past it and Short, while he looks smooth and classy, seems to hit good shots along the ground straight to the field, then get frustrated way too early and hit nothing shots in the air straight to the field. We need another Royal Commisison here. He sets a very poor example as Captain while batting: he really needs to anchor the innings with such a poor batting side.

I reckon hes a pretty reluctant captain TBH, almost like "well we dont have anyone else so i better do it"

I wouldn't say he's overrated, I just think he's having a poor season.

 

[Cromulant]

I do wonder how long itll be before Liam Scott gets mentioned in ODI and T20I squads.

We do have a few similar types already, but the kid has game

 

[bigman]

Our bowling lineup is very good but I’ve never seen a weaker batting lineup in BBL. Short is underperforming. Lynn is now too hit and miss. Harvey and Sangha have been woeful but should have been better. Manenti and co don’t look up to it. Nielson gave us nothing with the bat and Wadia living off his first 3 balls. Surely the boy from WA with a very South African name who opens for woodvillle and making lots of runs in district cricket would be a better bet as a development player

Scott Overton with ball only wood Shamsi and the pontiff have been contributors but it’s slim pickings after that

 

[Samcro24]

Carey’s back

 

[FR0GGY]

Carey’s back

We need 4 of him

 

[Pugsley]

Hey Kez, reckon we'll last 20 overs?


Kid, I don't care. Like you this is pocket money for me.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Ross not picked again

I see he (and Wadia) played T20 finals for their clubs today

Ross made 60 odd not out and won his team the game. Surprised we don't just park him in the middle order. He's a good fielder too and plays spin well

 

[Interloperer]

Wadia was technically Carey's replacement, so can't play anymore (unless another player is out/playing internationally). Selection seems a bit random otherwise.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

0/46 after three overs.

So much for the bowling being reasonable.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Why are we picking so many bowling options?

Given the Scorchers start, we will need serious batting tonight.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

What is the highest ever BBL score?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Only a four that time
They're slowing down

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

What is the highest ever BBL score?

273 by the Stars

Scorchers is 257 which they may top

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Almost through the four overs so can put the field out

However, since most deliveries are sailing into the grandstand that won't matter

 

[FR0GGY]

What is the highest ever BBL score?

I’ll let you know in 1 hour

 

[Interloperer]

345 projected score. Good discipline and they can keep the scorchers under 350

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

That bounced I thought

 

[Cromulant]

That bounced I thought

On first glance I thought so, soft signal out though
