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

[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.

 

[010203]

Nice blast from the past from Dan Christian

 

[LukeParkerno1]

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

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

 

[PhatBoy]

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.

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.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I'm surprised you left Marnus out.

Marnus hopefully won’t be there too much longer

 

[NYRB]

Dan Christian refusing the single. He backs his own ability over Fergusons batting.

Then takes a single next ball

Silly tactics

 

[gtrxuone]

Good shot by Ferguson

 

[NYRB]

173 Is decent. McSweeney is the key wicket for me. Munro looks like a walking wicket but maybe this might be the game like Finn Allen, the Kiwi gets out of his form slump.

 

[Plugger35]

Shows what a good batting pitch it is when the Thunder didn't bat that well but still got 173, if the Heat bat well they should win.

It’s at least 15 short we have to get 3-4 wickets early and one has to be McSweeney

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Surely Callum Ferguson can have a hit for us lol

Dont underestimate David Warners innings. In Wes Agar and Lockie Ferguson, the Thunder have their own answer to Neser and Spencer Johnson. Sense Brisbane do target the Thunders 3rd seamer tonight though.

 

[Plugger35]

A fast inswinger from Ferguson, too good for Wood.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Where is the Big Dope Paul? He finally been dropped?

 

[Aussie_boy]

Christian in the power play is interesting.

 

[NYRB]

Brisbane are going to target Dan Christian here.

 

[Plugger35]

I wasn't expecting Dan Christian to be bowling the 4th over.

 

[010203]

Another batsman getting out via a ramp.

 

[pacemaker]

Wow getting out to Christian. McSweeney that's no way to get back into a test squad.

 

[Gift]

Thunder got out so often from taking the ramp so Mcsweeney does the same

 

[Plugger35]

That's embarrassing for McSweeney in more ways than one.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Burn your bat McSweeney.

Peak BBL.
