Saw a bit of Daniel Sams in the last T10 league match he played in Abu Dhabi- he looked rusty.

 

[Tugga27]

Would love to see Banners get a few.

Hopefully we don’t make a spud look good for once. Hopefully get Munro early. Why on earth are we not having Bancroft keep so we can play a better bat than Gilkes

Sams being spanked

BBL is back

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Oh goody here’s the mug we make look good

Oh goody here’s the mug we make look good

Brown is better than Sams.

Having these regional games so early in the season in front of uninspiring crowds kind of feels like an attempt to sabotage them.

Dot, dot, 6, 6, dot, dot. Every ball was either a 6 or a dot in that over.

 

[candyapple]

Muralis arm was straighter

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Brown is better than Sams.

He has one shot and the dumb fruit loop kept bowling there

 

[In the Thirds]

Are commentators at the ground, just noticed a couple of times in different games ball is skied and they take while to commentator on it.

Just in time with the review. It's close.

7 are at the ground, Fox are doing the game from a studio.

 

[candyapple]

heck that is stiff

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Get screwed if that was us that would have been given

 

[Fabab]

The clock was on 0 when he reviewed.

Tks, Yep I’m watching fox

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Now the slogging hack is gone

 

[Jimthegreat]

Surely 25% of the ball is enough for Umpire's call. Even allowing for the vagrancies of DRS that is hitting.

As for pitching outside leg stump law, it should be like tennis. Even if a very small part of the ball is pitching in line, then it is "in line". That part, like tennis, is accurate. The issue is the tracking after it has bounced.

nice way to buy a wicket

The hack was lucky he wasn’t rightfully given earlier in the over. Good bowling.

 

[SSwans2011]

This pitch and outfield sucks

 

[Torz]

There are very few that don't hit the middle of McSweeney's bat.
