BBL Match 25 Brisbane Heat v Sydney Thunder 6/1 1845hrs @ the Gabba

[LukeParkerno1]

The Fox commentator boys were talking him up at the start of the game as a chance to go to Sri Lanka for the up coming tests

No chance lol

Kuhermann, Lyon, Murphy, Ricc are ahead

 

[The Casey Cat]

And that's about what reverse hand batting swats across the line deserve.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Go Dan!!!

 

[hutchy31]

Honestly. These guys are terrible examples of professional athletes. Muddled thinking.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

All for Dan to whack a few

 

[hutchy31]

Three of those six wickets (at least) were completely avoidable. Idiotic shots.

Thunder will end up with maybe 160-170 instead of an almost certain winning total of 190-200.

 

[NYRB]

Fox saying Tom Andrews has a ton in Shield Cricket. I wouldnt have guessed that prior to this game.

PS: as I type, its another 6 then out for Thunder.

 

[Around the Wicket]

WTF is with all these laps

 

[cats_09]

Some seriously stupid batting tonight

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Stop playing stupid laps

 

[NYRB]

Lapping Spencer Johnson isn't a percentage shot with around 3 and a bit overs to go.

Mark down another one.

‘I know what I’ll do. I’ll smack a boundary through a conventional part of the field. Then to prove the science of what I just did, I’ll try and flick a ball, either reverse or normally, behind my body rather than in front of it.’
- recent Thunder batsmen

 

[NYRB]

That wicket that got Tom Andrew was 147.7 km/hour.

 

[Around the Wicket]

If they bat out the overs it’s still a decent score

 

[NYRB]

Dan Christian might be 41 years old but he is batting someone of that maturity compared to the other Thunder players.

They all do it.

The only teams who don’t show this muddled thinking are the Scorchers and Sixers. I wonder how their record looks in the tournament overall…..

If a BBL coach banned all ramp shots I bet their team would coast into finals.

Dan!!!

Bar isn’t set high

One is Davies

 

[NYRB]

The 41 year old spanks a 6 off X Man. That wouldnt have been on anyones Bingo Card at the start of BBL 14.

 

[Plugger35]

Old Man Dan showing the kids how it's done.

Nice blast from the past from Dan Christian

Way short. This looks a belter. 180 is probably dead par and we won’t even get that

I’m obviously biased because I would probably have the man’s children but I would literally just show one graphic to my batsmen and give a very brief and impassioned address if I was a t20 coach. Just one.

Most centuries in T20 cricket:

Gayle, Christopher Henry: 22

Next most by anyone: 11

‘Now who can tell me how many f**king ramp and reverse shots Chris Gayle played across his career?’

 

[010203]

Imagine Zorko and Konstas in close in a test match! You’d be asking the ump can I whack one of them

I'm surprised you left Marnus out.
