That was the perfect ball. Called a wide.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Maybe wide.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Great dive by Mack

 

[Moonwatcher]

Scorchers should close this out. Strikers will struggle to make the boundary.

 

[Moonwatcher]

A single was fine off that ball

 

[Moonwatcher]

That's Mack

 

[Moonwatcher]

You'd expect the Scorchers to win a super over should that eventuate.

 

[largebus]

Suicidal running there, they had it in the bag if they just got singles.

They ain't out of it at all

 

[Moonwatcher]

Scores level 2 balls remaining.

 

[largebus]

Too much trash bowling in the end

Great decision to deliberately sacrifice the wicket to bring Gibson to the crease

 

[largebus]

Letting the 18 year old bowl the last over when her economy was 12.5 was a masterstroke.

 

[Freight Train]

Not sure my heart rate has recovered from that, what a game.

Two pretty even teams. Adelaide v Perth at the WACA easily the best WBBL game Ive watched this season live.

Gibson can whack the ball cant she?

Good thing for Adelaide is their bowling unit might have had one of their weaker days with the ball yesterday but still ended up winning, and their batting is coming good just at the right time. Although chasing a target like that, you never really want to leave it to the last ball or two.

but hey a wins a win and to win at one of the top 4 teams away ground is a good omen for the rest of the competition. Im assuming WBBL will have the added advantage of 'home' finals as one has to admit having home crowd support is a big thing.

Perth had their best ever WBBL crowd for a home fixture yesterday (3,434):



If you play that at Optus maybe you can get 12k? (my initial estimate was about 35k which might be a tad pessimistic)

 

[Del125763]

A little criticism of the WACA ground, being at the ground, the digital scoreboard/screen are tiny. You need a bigger screen as its almost impossible to view the screen from the stands/or grassed banks. Think the Junction Oval/North Sydney Oval had much bigger electronic scoreboards, where you didnt have to to squint to see what was going on.

 

[Del125763]

That cant be right can it? 3,424 being the biggest crowd of WBBL so far? Im pretty sure North Sydney Oval had a crowd of 7k or so for one of their games.

Think that crowd of around 7K was for last seasons final at North Sydney. 3,424 would be the biggest this season.

 

[Del125763]

Going to be double headers all from Wednesday through to Sunday this week

You would think could make a case for more games if they get more crowds like that..........

Must say it was a decent atmosphere especially in that last over yesterday between Adelaide and Perth.

 

[Del125763]

Western Australia could make a case for more 'neutral' games I reckon.

 

[Del125763]

Top 4 clash at North Sydney Oval in Game 27 of the WBBL:

Brisbane Heat Women (Playing XI): Grace Harris, Georgia Redmayne(w), Amelia Kerr, Mignon du Preez, Charli Knott, Jess Jonassen(c), Georgia Voll, Bess Heath, Mikayla Hinkley, Nicola Hancock, Courtney Sippel

Sydney Thunder Women (Playing XI): Chamari Athapaththu, Tahlia Wilson(w), Phoebe Litchfield, Heather Knight(c), Marizanne Kapp, Anika Learoyd, Olivia Porter, Claire Moore, Sammy-Jo Johnson, Hannah Darlington, Samantha Bates

Brisbane Heat Women have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[Del125763]

Athapaththu is really looking like she is enjoying here cricket down under in Australia.

 

[Del125763]

She looks like she has come down under and played with no baggage.....and its showing.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Athapaththu is really looking like she is enjoying here cricket down under in Australia.

And how silly every side was nit drafting her

 

[Del125763]

Thunder finish on 204/4 against Brisbane.

Going to be an interesting chase this one.
