BBL BBL|08 Semi-Final 1: Hobart Hurricanes v Melbourne Stars @ Blundstone Arena

[drd23]

Worrall surely MOTM

 

[red+black]

Gotch plays well in finals from memory

you called it

 

[Lemma]

What a win by the Stars! Worrall was fantastic

 

[daz17]

Not use to many interviews if he's kept his helmet on hahaha

 

[windyhill]

Faulkner, wtf was that spell son ?

 

[DarkPhoenix]

The Sugarcanes are backkkkkk!

Unlucky you bunch of cocky flogs!

With exception to George Bailey, hope he is alright

Outside of Wade, I'm not sure how you could really call anyone at the Hurricanes a "cocky flog".

You really are a weird unit.

 

[gtrxuone]

Unlucky for the Hurricanes after being on top all season.But wasn't enough runs tonight.Set up by Warrell with 2 wickets in the opening over.Stars look real solid.

 

[eddiesmith]

I suppose the biggest difference between the Stars 6 losing finals and tonight was Faulkner was on the other team!!!

Always said he was the problem for the Stars, best game he ever played in 8 years for the Stars tonight!!!!!

 

[FKASC]

How depressing for the purps

 

[eddiesmith]

because ....

Better ground, bigger crowd. Why play the final at the lesser venue? The NRL don’t play at SFS or the AFL at Marvel

Could get a big crowd at the G, tomorrow night there will be no one there!

Short is cocky as well, the way both of them were strutting around the Adelaide oval during their 10 wicket win. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch. I do like George Bailey though

 

[Underarm]

CA would be pretty happy with this.....it's either now an SCG final or a Melbourne derby.

They probably won't fill whatever ground it's at, but it'll get a lot more than 12000.

I would expect at least 40k at a Melbourne Derby final.
The lack of time to really build it up is the issue.

What? Short is a quiet bloke, barely says a word out in the middle, just gets on with the job.

Bit of misguided hate there Chuckie.

 

[Kangapirate]

If the Gades get up a move to the G is worth it if you can get 70-80k, in fact it would single handedly make the whole tournament a success. The issue as has been alluded to is the final is played a couple days after the semi, you don’t get the grand final build up for the entire week with the media going nuts about it like other sports.

Classic faulkner

Fancy a team making the final after they scraped in because of a power outage on a single light tower cost the Thunder 4th spot and 2 games after the biggest humiliating 10 wicket loss in the history of BBL.

BBL08 continues to deliver the unbelievable....

 

[red+black]

BBL08 continues to deliver the unbelievable....

Sixers to win the title given that many expect a Renegades v Stars final?

 

[TooBlue14]

A game that’s had only 1 time in 8 years where the best team has won is not going to work long term. The other greatest concern is the 80% winning rate for the team that wins the flat flip/toss. Concerning. And I’m also upset as a hurricane supporter. These two concerns are unrelated to that. Lol.

Faulkner and I reckon also archer

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Faulkner and I reckon also archer

Geez, you're really stretching at Archer.

If you have to say "I reckon", you don't actually know what they're like.

 

[red+black]

have to think a change to the finals system is now guaranteed

 

[Kangapirate]

The top 2 should get a double chance, 1v 2 play each other for a spot in the final and hosting rights. The loser plays winner of 3rd or 4th, pretty easy fix.

 

[ep2018]

As a salty Scorchers fan still pissy about Hobart smacking us in the finals last year, sucked in Hurricanes.

As a fan in general, FFS change the finals system. Hobart finish top after 14 rounds and get knocked out first final. What a joke.

People saying we are in form. We’ve won 2 games in a row after the biggest defeat ever.
T20 is just an unpredictable game, you only need a couple of decent individual performances. Worrall tonight, Maxy couple of good games, that’s it, but really the Sixers had a horror and could be the other finalist.
We have managed to make a final with Dunk, Maddo, Bravo who are terribly out of form. That’s generally been 3 of our top 6 batsmen.

 

[Lemma]

Don't change the finals system, you gotta turn up when it matters. Happened to the Stars in 2014, undefeated in regular season. Coincidentally against the Hurricanes.
