Will be heavily rain affected unfortunately. Pretty disappointing

There is time to drive everyone up to sunny Launceston

Actually depending on drainage they may start on time, there's been a fairly solid dump of rain but it should clear up soon. For some reason I thought the game was starting at 6:15 but it's an hour later

Decent old thunderstorm or two. Seems to be clearing away now. The ground is sand based so hopefully it'll start on time. We'll soon find out.

Isn't the ground upgrade underway at the moment? I thought Utas was closed for that reason?

 

[Moonwatcher]

Didn't expect the Strikers to bat. I guess they want runs on the board pressure on the Hurricanes. Pity about the rain.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Strikers need to win and to improve NRR which means not having DLS involved.

Play it at the NTCA ground instead then (if it still exists). I remember watching Tasmania v Zimbabwe there as a little kid.

Edit: Tassie top 6 of Cox, Di Venuto, Ponting, Boon, Young, Tucker in that game. Not bad.

 

[Gough]

I watched an SA Rugby XV beat Zimbabwe in the lead up to the 87 World Cup which has to be the only time we've ever beaten an international side.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Ninja Stadium, as in the air fryers?

 

[010203]

Lynn played a defensive shot!!!

 

[010203]

JFM would be proud of that swing and a miss by Lynn.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Nasty.

 

[Plugger35]

That was nasty, hopefully Lynn is OK.

 

[madmug]

Bang! Shyte! Hope he's ok.

 

[Hamingja]

Good nut.

CA must have a neutral doctor for the concussion tests for the big bash? He was in a CA shirt instead of a strikers one.

Very funny! They stopped playing there because its a dump with crap wickets. Not up to standard.

 

[Hamingja]

Big Bad Billy with the wicket!

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Dunno why Short tried hitting the cover off that first up.

Anyhoo, he’s gone

The first five Tasmanian-born too.

You wouldn't see that these days. We can't produce quality batsmen any more.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Hobart should win it this year. They look primed

 

[Hamingja]

Weatherald in aka Bradman against the Hurricanes

Good quick bowler and good batsman short as per most years for the Hurricanes. Seems the rest of the competition is weaker this year but I'd still back the Sixers or Perth when it matters.
