22 runs to lock in the final.

Ball is tending to plug in the outfield here in Adelaide Oval. I think the grass is a bit more thicker here too.

That shot before looked 4 for all money then died.

Let's hope it doesn't rain at the SCG on Sunday like it often does during the first week of January.

Good little bit for Sydney tourism was more my views and boost to the economy having 3 teams in the same city.

It would be a minimal boost to the economy if any.

Plus, y'know, the whole rivalry thing.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Free hit

If that no ball for height was an inch lower, Amanda Jane Wellington would have been out.

 

[Moonwatcher]

2 runs per wicket required. Only the Strikers could.

 

[MarcusP2]

What is with this big swings after a boundary? That should've been out .Good lord.

 

[Plugger35]

King just dropped any last chance the Scorchers had.

It was probably all over anyway though.

 

[010203]

Strikers have a home final. The Sixers had a home final last year and were rolled by the Strikers. We'll see how they go with not playing 6 days after their game on Sunday.

Well done Strikers, interested to see the crowd next week. Under 10 would be a letdown.

Standings with 3 games to play:



Stars v Renegades is a game that doesnt have any meaning now on Standings.

Mel Jones saying Adelaide will host the Grand Final at Adelaide Oval.

Good on them..... a chance for Some South Australian silverware to be added to the cabinet.

 

[Del125763]

Adelaides local players clearly better than the local players in the rest of the comp. They will be least affected of the remaining 4 teams, with the international player departures compared to the other teams.

Not Sure for Adelaide


But am assuming contingents with New Zealand, India and English players wont play Finals.

 

[Del125763]

Here is maybe a suggestion for Cricket Australia administrators in future, maybe shorten the length of the season similar to the male BBL to a 40 game season , to allow international imports to stay here for the Finals as well?

It kind of defeats the purpose of having them here in the first place and you want to see the players who played a starring role in getting the teams to the Finals , have a say on the Finals.

 

[cats_09]

I wonder what sort of crowd figure they will expect for Stars vs Renegades at the G?

Not sure, but thinking the weather forecast will keep some folks away - I had been planning on going, but with this forecast, I'm not sure it's with the trip to Melbourne

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Well that would massively disadvantage Brisbane and Perth. Devine has been heads and shoulders above the rest of Perth.

If you take out: Devine, Nat Sciver Brunt, and Amy Jones, Perth go behind the pack for me of the other finals team.

Adelaide are red hot favs once they made it- lose no one aside from their one English girl who has done nothing anyway

They can’t win. I get what you are saying but internationals are everywhere very hard to satisfy everyone really. Though have to say this comp has had a few too many spare days. Could they condense it by say a week? That might be the compromise don’t feel the number of games needs to decrease

All English and NZ players in the squad are out

so how much "controversies" are we up to now in this tournament? double digits?

[Del125763]

Game doesnt mean much for either.
