Sixers are so much better than everyone else its scary.

Sixers are so much better than everyone else its scary.

Agree but I swear teams try so hard to be shit against them too.

 

[k31th]

4/168 is huge in a rain-effected innings... and it'll go up with DLS adjustments.

 

[Cleavy]

I don't think they'll finish this game before the 2nd game is due to begin

genuinely think the Scorchers can challenge them and as a team are at worst on par with them.

Thunder wouldn’t make that even with 20 overs tbh

Rip I may have to leave the couch for the first time today to find the remote

 

[CURVE]

Well, when the game was reduced to 16 overs I thought 140-145 would have been a good competitive score, so to make 168 is an amazing effort. Hughes really got us going but it was Christian's innings that turned the game in our favour.

Should be a ripping second innings.

 

[NYRB]

Thunder have the firepower to chase this down. Key player is Alex Hales and Sam Billings, with the latter in great form.

 

[CURVE]

Agree but I swear teams try so hard to be sh*t against them too.

Is that because the Sixers top order put them under so much pressure?

 

[William C]

173 to win from 96 balls.
Tough ask but can't rule them out with Hales and Billings in the lineup

 

[RickSanchez]

Is that because the Sixers top order put them under so much pressure?

Yeah I'm not trying to bag sixers at all, quality team, but shit like that last over and I swear hurricanes balled it up too. Like you said, it's probably that pressure but that over last over was terrible haha

 

[ep2018]

I think our standing is overstated considering we've been playing and beating cellar dwellers (and another one tonight).

We'll get a better picture once we play the Sixers, Stars and Thunder.

All of Andrew Symonds' commentary...
'people don't field as well as i used to'

 

[k31th]

bye Gilkes

 

[CURVE]

That was a very good catch from Edwards, hard to catch those.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Now we are letting Dwarshius get wickets

Dear lol

 

[NYRB]

Sixers will be happy to concede 1's and 3's to Hales here.

 

[CURVE]

Now we are letting Dwarshius get wickets

Dear lol

Sixth all time for BBL wickets with 87. And he didn't playing in the opening three seasons.

 

[k31th]

nice flick for 6 from Hales

 

[NYRB]

When Alex Hales hit em, they stay hit!

 

[k31th]

Hales almost swung himself off his feet there... still got 6 from hooking well in front of square

 

[k31th]

smart from Abbott to slow it down a touch and get the fielder in play in the long side of the ground

 

[CURVE]

Phew, that was getting a little out of hand.

 

[Hamez]

That should’ve also joined the previous two balls.
