BBL Match 28 Melbourne Stars v Sydney Sixers 9/1 1845hrs @ the MCG

[TubbsFarquhar]

Stars are going to be like Geelong 1993. Most dangerous team in the comp but missing finals.

I thought the top 4 was wrapped up the other night based on form/quality, but the Stars are only a point outside. They can easily still make and win it all, it's not like they have a bad squad.

Sixers were 2/100 odd?

2/96 - 5/97

 

[Stig O'Hara]

5/100 i thought?

2/96

They should have romped it in.

Great last over by Steketee.
As i look into my crystal ball.
Thunder v Stars GF up in Sydney.

So a washout

I can't believe they gave that catch out, surely benefit of doubt.

There’s no such thing.

Thunder and Hobart being potential top 2 with those squads tells you all you need to know about this season. Absolute stinker

They've also played 1 more game and have a poor run rate.

Hard to see them making it from here.

I think it's not as bad as some seasons. I remember Maxwell's 150 a couple of years ago, it looked like he was facing a pub team from the UK.

Sounds like sour grapes to me.

How so? The fact those squads are the best we have is not good news.

Perth and Sixers are well set up for this comp because they keep the same side together but you’d hardly say they’re good squads either without the test blokes.

Not sure how many Hurricanes games you’ve watched but they clearly deserve to be top of the ladder.
They have a great bowling unit and the batters have been getting the job done except for game 1.
