BBL Match 13 Adelaide Strikers v Hobart Hurricanes 27/12 1845hrs @ Adelaide Oval

[JimmyBC]

We were never chasing 215

Look at the score man Pope has definitely cost them

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Looks like he plugged it into his hands

Yeah I hate them slowing it down always looks worse

 

[JimmyBC]

Geez if Ollie didn't hog the strike?

Selfish

I blame the bald dumbo Lynn more, plays a dumb slog gets out two balls before drinks. Short and Lynn in they would have surged.

Hobart have 1 spinner…why would you send Ross in who can only sweep and that’s it???

Text message Tim has no ****ing life. If you had of given the coaching job to boof…strikers be 4-0. A massive overreaction to giving jobs to the boys for 20+ years

 

[Coasters7]

No ball, then free hit could have only needed 20 ish off 5.

Fair but I’m sure he wouldn’t have minded the reminder if roles were reversed

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Neither Ross or Pope are 11 an over players.

I don’t know how Ross gets a game in T20

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Lynnstupidity.

So overrated

Overton probably only needed to face another 4 or 5 balls.

2D cameras from outside the ground are useless for catches. Learnt that with a caught and bowled in the women's WBBL. Regular camera the catch looked iffy but stump cam, looking from underneath, saw she caught it 6 inches off the ground. I'd bet my boots Jordan caught that ball but 2D cameras from outside the ground make it look doubtful.

Still it’s VERY poor umpiring this is where the third umpire could have just relayed it. Doesn’t make a difference probably not however it’s the principle

He was very good for the thunder when he was fit but this is a weird role DF or the strikers

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Pope coming on forced Short to play risky... and now Pope and Ross are gonna lose the game...

Why not have Overton and Bazley on earlier

Ross reminds me of when Australia was trying to find a spot for Michael Clarke in T20I team and justifying his lack of power by saying that he knocks it around and rotates the strike.

Putting Short as Captain has actually been worse than the lot the bloke is utterly clueless how to manage bowlers.

Probably don’t need him and Pope one of the two. Who was that hitter the Strikers had last year had curly hair, forget his name but he could be an option

Kelly?

I'd like to know how the chats between certain batters go when one is playing like a dopey strike hogging chud while the big hitter is going cold at the other end.

Ollie wanted to be the hero and hit the runs.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Kelly?

That’s the one solid hitter play him

 

[Broar]

Adelaide are just a poor version of the Heat.

Boyce and Pope just don't have the control that Swepson and Kuhneman have. But the bigger problem by playing both spinners its robbing peter to pay paul. Now Short is bowling less and you are sacrificing a fast bowler.

Bazley doesn't bowl so teams just go after Thornton & Scott. They really lack some good quality quicks.

Batting wise I think there is a place for Ross in T20 cricket. If you are 4/40 or so thats the type of guy you want coming in and trying to steady the innings but he shouldn't of come in tonight at that stage.

I don't get why teams are so inflexible with their batting order. They really needed Overton in earlier tonight.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Strikers don’t have a class fast bowler, lack another hitter down the order, and are desperately missing Rashid. Nowhere near as interesting to watch.

 

[western royboy]

Imagine Hookesy. Flipper and Boof

You wouldn’t want to go anywhere near their padd put it that way

 

[western royboy]

I reckon he was Victorian. Started with SA, went home, then came back when Lehmann did.

Had a friend who played district against him. No one wanted to field in the gully.

Runs the Ford dealership in Swan Hill i think - top bloke
