BBL Match 24 Hobart Hurricanes v Adelaide Strikers 5/1 1845hrs @ Bellerive Oval

[PoopingHindi]

Pope is a bit of a handbrake, this looks a 190+ wicket... usually the Hobart outfield is on the slow side but the rain has made it slick and skiddy tonight. I think Hobart will get anything under 220 tbh

did his job. they were scoring 9 an over without taking many risks.
time for the hitters to finish it off.

note the run rate has dropped since he was dismissed.

Overton nurses one for 6.

He’s rolling.

 

[PoopingHindi]

run rate picking up now

Ross only has 3 shots. Was a house keeper in his past life -can only sweep, spoon or cut

Dan Christian would have to be close to the oldest player to play BBL if he gets a game for the Thunder.

Brad Hogg was 46 when he played his last BBL match, Shane Warne was 43 when his BBL career ended. Dan Christian would probably be the oldest non spinner to play a match in BBL history.

Perfect in the early days of the BBL when 160 would win most games.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Get bat on ball & get Overton on strike.

Or just slam boundaries.

Is the wicket speeding up.
Projected score around 190

 

[Andronicus]

What the **** was that from Overton the clown.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

186 is pretty good.

 

[Chuckie357]

Should’ve been at least 195

 

[Hamingja]

About par I reckon but I never have faith in Hurricanes chasing. Even when Short, Wade and McDermott were all firing they used to dog a chase a bit.

 

[PoopingHindi]

Hobart closed well. The acceleration never really came for the Strikers.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Should’ve been at least 195

Would have hoped 190 after the 18th

 

[largebus]

Ellis is the BBL's best death bowler so that's a fine enough score.

Dunno if Adelaide's bowling attack is good enough to defend it

 

[NYRB]

The square boundaries at Bellerive Oval feel about the same as the Marvel.

Chris Lynn rightfully targeted those areas tonight and in last game.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Think that’s about par. Average bowling attack vs decent lineup.

Doggett's in form

 

[Moonwatcher]

Well done Pope

 

[Moonwatcher]

Good recovery from that Pope special.

 

[Moonwatcher]

lol harder to bowl because of the rain and we bat first

 

[Moonwatcher]

Strikers don't want to come off either we need to win.

 

[010203]

Pope should let his hair grow back

 

[Moonwatcher]

Whack!
