The Hurcs couldn't chase 160 (including 3 overs of Matt Renshaw) with their much vaunted batting lineup.

So after being s**t kickers for the first half of the comp, Brisbane are in a finals spot with a below .500 win/loss ratio.

BBL02 vibes where I think Pomersbach (another great West Aussie export) carried them to the title.

15 minute rain delay. Now a 19 over game and one over of surge instead of two. Farce.

At least they specified that now only 4 bowlers are allowed to bowl 4 overs, instead of 5 bowling 4 in 19 overs.

gotta share....

Brisbane will lose Ussie, Renshaw, Labs and Swepson to India.
A big hole.

Only two players out

 

[Farang83150]

So is he gonna gets his 3rd t20 hunge...or have I just jinxed him

 

[Farang83150]

Ouch!

 

[ep2018]

Thankfully fate is in our hands for two finals in Perth, just need to beat the renegades.

Probably the lowest standard T20 comp he's played in in 10 years

 

[Farang83150]

Total spuds in the crowd, have grassed every 6!

 

[Farang83150]

Not real big on t20 but enjoy watching smith in all formats.
Pressure on warner big time.

 

[Tugga27]

Just hope Smithy isn't playing a final.

 

[Farang83150]

Wtf...how's the stance at the end
125/66, good effort

 

[ep2018]

Just hope Smithy isn't playing a final.

The team travels to India after the BBL grand final so theoretically he could play them all if CA are so inclined. But people on reddit are saying only one final is confirmed for now. Shades of Khawaja winning it for the Thunder in the fifth season from Smith right now.

 

[ep2018]

Hopefully for the sake of the integrity of the comp he only plays one (or none) and he prepared for India as planned. Khawaja coming back and winning the average Thunder a title despite finishing 4th still leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.

 

[DickDunn]

Aussie squad leaves on Jan 31. So Smith could play the qualifier but that’s it

 

[FKASC]

should be good enough to get him out, plain and simple. Problem is teams try and go defensive in the power play which just gives him time to get in, and then it’s impossible to dislodge him.

The first test starts on the 9th and the BBL final is the 4th.
I seriously doubt they will leave after the final TBH.

Warner signed for 5 games and this is his 4th.
Hopefully Smith did the same.

 

[DanWCE]

Thunder, eh?

 

[Tugga27]

I'm honestly struggling to think of a worst innings by a highly paid player than this one of Warners.
