Brisbane in all sorts at 31/4 off 6.0 overs. Adelaides game now unless Brisbane can pull a bit of a hail mary.

 

[Del125763]

Well fair to say I didnt see this coming

Brisbane are 39/5 and are in all sorts now chasing this target. A net run rate booster might be on the cards for the Croweaters here.

 

[Del125763]

Real statement performance tonight from Adelaide. The rest of the comp will be aware of them now.

Their bowling unit might be the best in the comp. They are showing why they are the reigning champions.

 

[Del125763]

Brisbane take the surge from balls 79-90.

 

[Del125763]

Hinkley goes bang off the 1st Power Surge ball. Gotta cash in and hope for a hail mary here for Brisbane. You just never say never.

 

[Del125763]

Make it back-to-back boundaries from Hinkley.

 

[Del125763]

Can Hinkley spoil the South Australian party?

 

[Del125763]

Charli Knott getting into the act and she whacked that a good way for a boundary. Close to a 6.

 

[Del125763]

Brisbane starting to build some belief again!

 

[Del125763]

Hinkley has to go !


Brisbane Need 70 off 36 balls with 3 in hand.

Ive seen funnier things happen in cricket before.

 

[Del125763]

If you have: Schutt, Mushangwe, Wellington and Georgia Adams, thats a world class attack right there.

Where's Brown?

 

[Del125763]

Adelaide too good and they have a psychological edge over Brisbane.

Its definitely a bogy team for Brisbane.

Here is the ladder after that game:



Adelaides Net Run Rate is now better than Brisbanes too.....so that could and will have a big role to play coming into the Finals.

 

[Del125763]

How can we have a comp where one team has played 5 games and another team has only played 2 games eg Sydney Thunder.

And they're still top 3

 

[Del125763]

And they're still top 3

I generally think all those teams below the Thunder are bad too.

Actually wouldnt be surprised now that same Top 3 , will be the same Top 3 come the end of the season.

Can see the Strikers going WLWL all season. Hopefully enough to qualify for finals.

Did anyone else see the runout of Du Preez? That ruling by the umpire was completely wrong!!

The Laws of the Game state that, if the bails are already off, you have to remove a stump either by pulling it out of the ground, or knocking it out, 'providing that the ball is held in the hand or hands so used, or in the hand of the arm so used'.

The bowle held the ball in her right hand and pulled out the stump with her left hand. The fact that she then tapped the ball onto the stump that was now out of the ground means nothing.



I mean, I knew that rule when I was 8 - never expected to actually see it. How the umpire got it wrong is a mystery.

Did you see the number of Strikers players, including AJW who retweeted that and praised the efforts - kinda a bit cringe on an incorrect dismissal

It's not the first incorrect decision by umpire this season, and it's pretty embarrassing how bad some of the decisions have been

CA needs to stump up the cash for DRS in all matches and have those calls referred to the third umpire who can check the Laws if unsure

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Need Villani out jeez

 

[LukeParkerno1]

These umpires are blind

 

[cats_09]

I just logged into Foxtel and saw the replay of what looks like it should have been a wicket - why wasn't it out?

Umpires are as blind as can be and we always cop it from them

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Take that one off is? You want to?

This Smith girl looks awful

And the ACB have just announced 'Increased decision reviews next year etc' even though it wasn't a 'decision review' that was missing - it was the umpire did not know the rules.
If you don't have DRS - OK, sometimes a snick or run-out will be missed. Tough luck. But you expect an umpire will at least know how to apply the Laws correctly.
