BBL BBL|09 Game 27: Adelaide Strikers v Sydney Sixers @ Adelaide Oval 8th Jan 2020 3:40pm AEDT

31 off 38 by batsmen who aren't Weatherald

I don't think he is a great T20 player. Better suited to the 50 over game.

Averages 32 at T20 level striking at 132. That's pretty decent

Decent yes, I'd still have him in the side. But I don't really expect him to ever hit a matchwinning score.

Though this is helping.

Yup, he's just struggling to adapt to not opening. He's eaten up a massive number of balls for not much this BBL.

I guess to be fair he's been coming in:
1. With few runs on the board
2. Early
3. Multiple wickets down
4. Very few batsmen behind him, if any.

Long tail for Adelaide.

Siddle in at 9 is where the tail starts. 3 isn’t long at all, we aren’t Perth where the tail starts at #5!

 

[Chuckie357]

Great keeping! Maybe throw it to the bowler who was at the stumps

 

[MarcusP2]

Lucky to get 160, Phillipe will walk it in.

 

[NSWCROW]

masterstroke bringing Neser in....

 

[Scorpus]

Well Neser has failed with the bat, in an hour we can watch him fail with the ball again too

Losing the match to Pope

This is nearly over.
why do that Rashid?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Collapsing now, Philippe could end this quickly.

Well KHan has failed with the bat, in an hour we can watch him fail with the ball again too

Turns out this is why Carey tries not to slog until the 18th over.

Have we been watching the same Carey this year? Before today his numbers read:

45 (40)
55 (24)
45 (45)
41 (37)
19 (11)
29 (31)

Ranked 8th overall for total runs striking at 124.5, and has played a game less than four players ahead of him. Considering he's had to rebuild in basically every game, he's been bloody good.

 

[NSWCROW]

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT !

The Carey criticism is harsh. He hasn't been at his absolute fluent best but he's still putting together a good tournament. Second on the runs. Striking at 122. I think teams have just bowled to him well. He strives when given width outside off and they've bowled very straight at him.

That SR is heavily skewed by one innings though. Excluding that he's striking at 110, which for facing 5-7 overs a game isn't great.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

That's game. This'll be an easy chase for the Sixers, we simply do not have the bowlers to restrict them or take wickets.

 

[brucetiki]

This collapse is impressive, even by Strikers standards

That's true, but that particular innings proved to be a match-winning one. I don't think it's fair to take that away from him.

At one point he'd faced the most balls of anyone this season I think. Those long ~run-a-ball innings kill you in T20 unless you're chasing a low total and have the required rate in hand.

Phillipe will get 20% of the total from a Stanlake over.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Looking at the lists we wouldn't have expected a single point from the Sydney teams. We managed one
