Hahahahaha Canes can’t make it now

Good

didn't they say if Adelaide batted first, Canes were automatically done and dusted?

Pretty much and good can’t stand Hobart

If he said she isn't a T20 batter, then he probably is. Season SR of around 105 was okay in WBBL01, but the game is different today. Her meandering through the first 15/16 overs has probably left 20-25 runs on the field.

Yes, but it's been an unusually slow season for Wolvaardt. Strikers defend 120 regularly so the claim you need to score much faster than WBBL01 may not be true either.

11 extras already. 8 leg byes which you can't really blame the bowling side for.

You also don’t want to rely on defending 140, that’s a high risk strategy. It probably works with every other finals side losing players but you don’t want to be relying on it

A run a ball 40 can easily set up a 160 total Finch/Ludeman style.

Lee put us through a 3 minute review when she hit the cover off it.

160 may only be par or just above. It may work with your attack key word is may. You wouldn’t want a 200 pitch and only getting 160

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Lee just surprised she can be given out already hit given not out stumped by a blind umpire

 

[GoldenMagpie16]

At least we've dropped Smith, but 13 games too late.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Villani is a big wicket

 

[Moonwatcher]

Well left arm didn't work did it

 

[Moonwatcher]

Getting into them now

Not sure if this is a stupid theory but with Adelaide already assured 1st spot, would have been tempted to rest key players and play other players - leave top players back home for grand final in Adelaide.

im gathering South African players wont be there for the Final as well, as South Africa women have a series against Bangladesh.

Adelaide have a long wait till the next game. Need to have another hit.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Plus the top 3 were out of form so needed another hit more so than most.

I'd hope if any of the playing 11 today aren't available for the final that they wouldn't have been playing a dead rubber today.

Kapp is available for us so maybe Wolvaart is not sure. I know England and NZ players are out

Her WBBL career SR is 108.2 which isn't that much better than her WBBL09 SR of 107.71. She has never been a fast scorer, and I don't think her batting style is suited to T20 cricket, but I was saying that about Ellyse Perry two seasons ago and she changed her game, so I'm not going to say she can't change her game style to suit T20 cricket. She is lucky at the moment she is playing for perhaps the best T20 team in the world and her consistency with bat in hand is what they require more than high SR, and she showed later in the innings that she can lift the run rate if required, perhaps only a few tweaks so the shots that find an infielder find a gap is all that is required.

 

[GoldenMagpie16]

Hurricanes didn't deserve to make finals anyways. Been really inconsistent in WBBL 09

 

[Moonwatcher]

Brown not playing?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Glad these mugs aren’t in the finals made my day. Only reason they were in contention was that umpire was a blind bat and let Lee keep batting

 

[Del125763]

Ismail, Lizelle Lee have been reasonable as imports for Hobart this year. Smith has been a huge letdown though.

Domestic players not as good as other teams. Consistency not been that great. How many of these Hobart domestic players would get into a top 15 of Australian national side? struggling to think who would make. Im not sold Graham or Villani would make it either.

Mushangwe going for runs today
