BBL Match 17 Adelaide Strikers v Perth Scorchers 21/12 1845hrs @ Adelaide Oval

[TubbsFarquhar]

Duck shit

That duck was just demonstrating the Strikers' efforts tonight.

 

[fnerd]

Connolly has got some power...Also appears to have the attributes to be a pretty decent all format batsman

Absolutely should be fast tracked to the test team .
Considering the media/ narrative push for local park sloggers like JFM I find it nearly in fathomable no one’s in CCs corner considering his already sound technique and temperament

 

[yabsy]

I believe he's the best of a breed of talented young players in Australia. I predict a very successful career in all formats of the game.

Agreed...I also have high hopes for him

Yea certainly no love lost between the sub continent teams

There is genuine dislike between Sri Lanka and bangas. Always good to watch the end of the games where one team inevitably ends up showboating and antagonising the other

 

[largebus]

Too early to say if he's a Test prospect but everyone thought Steve Smith would be a white ball leg spinner who could slog a bit.

 

[fnerd]

Turner is the ultimate t20 captain
Such a pro

 

[Shifty1]

Nice little rr boost. Hopefully we can kick the season on from here.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Needed 50 more

 

[Andronicus]

Overton still gobbing off.

 

[largebus]

Wham bam thank you Ashtan

Such a pro

And justly rewarded with a nice fat contract extension

Hopefully another scorchers Sixers final.
With another noses Henriques display of crying with the final result

God I’m sick of Henriques in every bloody final

 

[NYRB]

Hard to see Adelaide and the Stars making noise come finals time.



Perth will be tested with teams around them 1st, 3rd and 4th which could very well determine where abouts they possibly finish in the Top 4. Id fancy Perth to beat Thunder at the Optus with that bowling lineup tonight.

 

[fnerd]

CC again anchoring the innings.

Clearly Needs to fly swat every single ball whilst not moving his feet to get national recognition as the next big thing

 

[NYRB]

Perth also meant business with their batting tonight. getting their NRR to around 0.958, thereabouts with the Sixers NRR and Renegades NRR.

That could very well be the determining factor for deciding hosting of Finals games.

 

[Coasters7]

Allen going to the Strikers next season. Only ground he can make a run

JFM getting crazy hype whilst CC gets nothing despite looking the goods in all 3 forms. Should be on the plane to Sri Lanka, probably not as a starter but get him around the squad asap

 

[Coasters7]

What did Adelaide see in Ollie Pope seriously? He be lucky to get an invite back next season.

Cannot wait for the Ashes next year. These blokes better hope they’re bringing out a tail that can bat

I’m in two minds about this. If he’s some chance in playing by all means let him tour. However if he’s not having the bloke finish a Shield season is better for his development

We needed a keeper that could bat. Nielsen was batting at 7. It hasn't worked out but it was the right idea.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Tim Nielsen cant be much worse than Ollie Pope as keeper batsman.

I think we're obligated to allow internationals to use the BBL as a development league otherwise they may not come at all.

Bring back Harry

Jennings has been dropped hasn't he?

Ollie Pope is captain of England who is Jennings?
