BBL Game 8 Adelaide Strikers v Sydney Thunder 1845hrs @ the Adelaide Oval

[MJG14]

Some of those shots from Hose were incredible. How good was that last one!

 

[Snarls Barkley]

A fair innings from Hose

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

The chucker got what he deserved.

 

[gtrxuone]

Geez what an innings 28/9.
Solid crowd in also.

 

[MarcusP2]

Weatherald never go full Eskinazi. Can understand getting Hose back on strike though.

 

[largebus]

Budget Malinga is useless as a death bowler, every other ball is a pie.

 

[Torz]

For every one good yorker you get from Zaman, you get about 20 pies.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Geez what an innings 28/9.
Solid crowd in also.

Second night of school holidays and a week before Christmas so a decent crowd was expected.

 

[juss]

Top effort chasing tonight, still think over the season though they will be too reliant on the 2x openers (Mat Short especially). And losing Rashid Khan a massive blow to their season hopes too.

Most braindead runout in history

Watch: ‘Village cricket’ – Stevie Eskinazi’s lazy walk back leads to comical run out in BBL final

Watch: Stevie Eskinazi was dismissed in bizarre fashion after a lazy attempt to return to the crease led to a run out during the BBL 2022/23 final between Brisbane Heat and Perth Scorchers.

So we don’t bowl Green out and have two donkeys bowl

Great play you dumb spuds

 

[BACCS]

Problem with sling bowlers is that accuracy is a random thing.

It's why Tait's 2007 WC will live in history as one of the best ever by a fast bowler

 

[hutchy31]

Not defending 200 is pretty difficult to deal with. Pretty surprised Green didn’t bowl a fourth.

Good game, some great batting.

[ams4crows]

That is what you want from a big bash match both teams getting over 200, the 2nd batting team chasing down the total in the last over of the game.

Drop the captain

 

[Moonwatcher]

Celebrate with a pizza

 

[dogs105]

Is Lynn gonna piss off before the end of the tournament again?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

The Strikers would have to be favourites now.

For the tournament?

Yes

Sell out NYE or close to.

For the tournament?

Yes

Clearly

Even as a Strikers fan I thought that was boring.

Which part?

When you win as many games as we do it gets old hat after a while

Their bowling group does look thin. But the batters look like a solid enough group imo, Weatherald excepted (it’s mind-blowing he’s getting a game imo, looks so unprofessional when he plays).

Bit like the Thunder, can see the Strikers posting 200+ but also failing to stop another team chasing them down.

Scorchers and Sixers will be streets ahead again, virtual certainty both will be top four and one will pick up the trophy.
