Big Bash

May be ok but batting is not the major issue.

We lose Lynn soon don't we?

Geez, there go our finals chances lol...

Time for Weatherald to step up.

 

[Interloperer]

Thornton must be in the side at this point, and IMHO should just bowl a 4 over spell from the start. He's beyond useless at the death. But the solution is simple, just don't bowl him then.

Also, slow loopy spinners seem to be having a mini-renaissance in T20. I wonder if it's just because mediocre batters are unfamiliar with them?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Top four makes finals I assume?

The sleeping giant has awakened

 

[Interloperer]

I'm surprised there hasn't been more of an inquest into the last three balls of last nights (Heat vs Hurricanes) match tbh.

It's probably just terrible batting, but "Never ascribe to malice what can adequately explained by stupidity" is doing a hell of a lot of work

Striker tearing through the Hurricanes at the moment. 5 for 36 after 6.2

Let them back in the game... though should have the batting to chase this down.

Remind me why we keep playing Payne. Has he had a game yet where he has gone under 10 per over? May as well play Agar.

Memory might be playing tricks but it feels like McDermott has a pretty good record against us

 

[Interloperer]

Strikers still in a strong position. But they sure squandered a start

Yeah, remember that ton he smashed against us a couple of years ago.

Not the guy we wanted to give a chance too...

Or we may be going full Redbacks with a batting collapse when in complete control...

 

[Interloperer]

Hose hasn't really carried on from a good first match. I'm pretty sure he's heading off to the IL20 too

Or we may be going full Redbacks with a batting collapse when in complete control...

Going by their last match Ellis will start deliberately bowling no balls or something if it gets too close

 

[FR0GGY]

Is Tim David the class clown?

Or by wasting a review

 

[Cap]

Surprised we pulled through there.

Out bowling at the end was woeful though.

We play Hobart Thursday then the Thunder on Sunday to finish.

Stars play Renegades Saturday then Hobart Monday.

Sixers play the Thunder Friday then the Scorchers Tuesday.

Don't like our chances. If one of the sides, we played was the Stars yes. It would be in our hands. We need to rely on others. Do you know when we lose players? Lynn's loss would be massive.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Hobart will be tough to beat down there. We only just fell in after having them 5/35

 

[Interloperer]

Neser always seems ill-suited to T20. But sometimes he pulls something like 64(30) out of the hat.

 

[Interloperer]

Surely the Strikers would have to consider throwing the extra few thousand to keep Lynn for the whole tournament next year.

 

[El Doederino]

Are these BBL commentators not travelling and commentating from interstate as well?

That’s twice now the commentators have celebrated a big hit as if it’s gone for 6 that’s been caught quite easily in the outfield

Fox haven't done any games in person outside Sydney/Melbourne since covid. It's terrible.

 

[Cap]

So we gave up 40 runs in the last 3 overs.

Next time bowl the batsmen

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Weatherald batting beautifully, just as we all expected
