BBL BBL Match 11 Sydney Sixers v Melbourne Stars 26/12 1735hrs @ the SCG

[Plugger35]

Sam Billings is a good commentator.

 

[Around the Wicket]

These blokes are crabbing along to barely 200

Yea pathetic by these two, they should have got 230+ with the start they had

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Another one bites the dust

 

[RAPPA]

Lol won’t even make 200. What a shocking final 10 overs from the Melbourne Spuds.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Yea pathetic by these two, they should have got 230+ with the start they had

I’d be blaming Stoinis and for that matter Maxwell the latter getting frustrated and throwing it away last ball of the surge and the Rig is just hopeless

 

[Around the Wicket]

Massive unders, this is a road.. another chasing side win we’ll witness

 

[LukeParkerno1]

spuds going full Spuds

 

[smasha]

Sixers will win this in a canter (you would think).

 

[Plugger35]

The Stars down to the tailenders in the last few overs, this is where the reckless batting from Maxwell and Stoinis bites them.

They tried to slog to get to 250 and now they probably won't get to 200.

Whenever Merlo plays for Stars he seems the quintessential no-rounder

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Vince made a meal of that catch off Curran.

Cartwright dismissed off the next ball anyway.

The Stars doing their best to blow what should be a score of at least 200.

If they don't get 200 here they are an absolute joke. Instead of batting the Sixers out of the game they have left the door open if there good enough because of poor shot selections. You don't need to go hard every over when you set a great platform.

So he’s the domestic Mitchell Marsh

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Jack Edwards bowling just one over seems bizarre

 

[eddiesmith]

Off the pitch, no wide…

 

[MJG14]

Was about to post the same thing, then he hit that boundary

Was surprised to see him get another gig.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Surely merlo has to take every ball, this is the sort of brain dead thinking which has the Stars where they are at as a franchise.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Off the pitch, no wide…

Moved across though. It’s borderline probably

 

[RAPPA]

They were 3-129 after 11 overs. Amateur hour in the end.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

lol a number 10 trying a ramp and missing it by a metre

You ain’t Konstas mate

 

[Cleavy]

So he’s the domestic Mitchell Marsh

Savage!

 

[smasha]

Scorchers Heat game should be a ripper.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Dwarshuis and Murphy did a brilliant job to bring it back from a genuine 230 chance. Surely 195 is too much to chase still.

Ducketts 68 (29) will be hard to replicate

 

[tigs2010]

Sixers need a record run chase at the SCG to win.

Should do it in a canter against this bowling line up.

 

[Plugger35]

Who does Doug Warren think he is, Sam Konstas in the first few overs of a test? Ridiculous shot to play off the last ball of a T20.

That' is still a pretty good score from the Stars but it should have been a lot better, they left a score of 220 at least on the table.

 

[eddiesmith]

There really should be more of a penalty than 1 fielder inside the circle for failing to bowl your overs, especially as the Sixers were actually 2 overs short.
