Comedy Central big bash style

 

[pacemaker]

When you have a 40+ year old as your leading wicket taker.

 

[NYRB]

No Mr Cricket, the Melbourne Stars even if they win the last 5, probably cant make the Finals. I know you know your cricket but lets not bring 'mathematical ' possibilities into it. They are a joke franchise.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Super deflating when you turn the BBL on and the Stars are playing.

 

[NYRB]

Could you imagine Steve Waugh or Allan Border showing their rig in social media as captain? Stoinis is the wrong type of leader for the Stars and it shows.

 

[Plugger35]

Hopefully this game is better than the earlier game today but with the Stars involved that's unlikely, at least they are bowling first.

 

[NYRB]

I have never seen a captain smiling, giggling, and laughing with the team the Stars the way they are going.

Its a joke. He (Stoinis) gives a buggers ass about the team.

A Win here and it will just be a small cover of the cracks that lie beneath this club. Dont let a win fool anyone.....they are a mile off from being any competitive.

 

[NYRB]

Spencer Johnson/Xavier Bartlett v Ben Duckett is the contest I am looking forward to tonight.

Should just merge with the renegades or relocate to Canberra. A star is like a comet.

 

[NYRB]

Colin Munro is 37 years old and I think the reflexes, eye coordination is slowly gone with him. Sadly........turning 38 this year. Its the age when a slight decrease in reflexes/eye coordination/movements get found out.

Id be surprised if he is given a contract next season.

 

[Plugger35]

Steketee bowling well against old side.

 

[hawkman]

If Brisbane get as much movement in the 2nd innings the Stars won't make 70

He is a ****ing deadset w***er.

Please just buy out his contract and **** him off

 

[Aussie_boy]

Stoinis diving. I’m impressed.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Was Steketee injured before? Normally cops a bit of stick but is a wicket taker.

 

[madjoe]

stars win coming i can feel it in my bones woo hoo

 

[Plugger35]

This could be a low scoring game with the way the ball is swinging and seaming.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Banton is so cooked
