BBL Match 19 Sydney Thunder v Sydney Sixers 1845 @ Sydney Showgrounds Stadium

The Sydney splash.

Sixers deserve it to rain

Howie on being replaced by "great man" Ian Smith after acommentary stint - "you get your big guns in for the big moments".

 

[NYRB]

Target would be 38 runs if its a 5 over game.

Given Sixers have 34 off 4 overs, it would be pretty much game set match if they came back on for the Thunder.

 

[010203]

A washout is inevitable.

 

[010203]

Typical Sydney.

 

[Hamingja]

Green devastated

Love it when FC Cricket is played in Sydney. You're pretty much guaranteed one of rain, a dodgy wicket or it being played in some ground in the middle of the suburbs.

 

[NYRB]

A no result there is also good for Perth and Brisbane as it keeps them in the top 2 positions.

 

[ep2018]

Every team has a no result this season now. Three rained off matches and a match called off due to dangerous pitch.

Not quite:



It is looking like Brisbane v Sixers on NYD will be washed out.

And less likelihood Stars v Renegades derby will be rain affected in some way (possibly rained out)

If Brisbane v Sixers weather forecast stays put, it looks like the stars are aligning for Perth to host a final, since I think they really should beat Adelaide in their next 2 games. Just feel like Perth is a couple of pegs higher than Adelaide right now.

Does the BBL ladder prioritise wins over points like in the ODI and T20 world cups? A team who has two no results finishing on equal points to a team who has an extra win will be screwed over this season if so.

Think its Points, then Net Run Rate.

Even if one side has beaten another 2 games to 0 during the regular season, the final standings will be based on

A) Most Points (cumulative)
B) Net Run Rate (to 3 decimal places)

For weekend games in particular in Sydney, they should move the start time to say 5pm, hopefully less games washed out.

It's no less likely to rain late arvo than at night.

They should just be more prepared to move it forward on 24 hours notice if the weather says so. Gives fans enough time to change plans.
