BBL Match 29 Brisbane Heat v Hobart Hurricanes 1845hrs @ the Gabba

[NYRB]

Here comes the Ch7 cross promotion with Dr Chris Brown promoting his new show.

I was wondering who he was.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Meredith looking very slippery atm.

If anyone is curious as to why the BBL isn't growing for casual fans - those 6 overs sums it up. You've got opening batters playing it like a test match.

That’s not the reason. Main reason is the lack of true stars. The internationals are hardly great and most of them aren’t here for the whole time

As long as we get to see the lovely Erin Holland I am not complaining.

 

[Tugga27]

There is a 47 metre boundary at the GABBA where Josh Brown hit it.

47 metres doesn't sound right to me.
That's only just over 2 pitches.

Are you sure about that?

Ironically Brown is meant to be in the side as a pinch hitter

Its what the commentator said. He mentioned that in AFL terms, the Brisbane Lions its a drop punt away.

Australia are tight arses, all the poor countries are paying the available stars more money

 

[LukeParkerno1]

He is a useless bowler, rubbish fielder, his body language is poor most of the time.

Maxwell, Matt Short are ahead of him. Even borderliners: Hardie, Stoinis (as much as he is putrid most of the time) , Will Sutherland are better all round T20 cricketers than him.

So you’ve named Maxwell who isn’t in that role he bats higher in a t20…Stoinis is Ho is dreadful and Short is an opener who is horrific playing spin internationally. Sutherland maybe but you see th issue. We have very few genuine out and out finishers. Maybe they gamble on a Ollie Davies type but you can see why David is there

 

[gtrxuone]

Monroe hitting out

Still doesn't sound right to me.
I've never heard of a boundary that small.

I havent seen Ollie Davies bowl much. And he doesnt seem to get much of a bowling role at the Thunder. Ashton Agar batting has fallen off a cliff since his injury. Daniel Sams is the other one that can power hit at the back end.

Few Indian grounds are under 50m

Heck no on Sams and we don’t need bowling options we’d already have Maxwell in the top 5 who bowls. Your 5-7 need to be hitters and I mean genuine hitters. This is why it’s also so dumb we have this ridiculous power surge in- these players get to dine out on this terrible rule.

Ok, I've never heard of a boundary in Australia being under 50 metres.
Especially at this level.

Wish more of them were.

 

[MJG14]

Looked plumb live. I'll say middle and leg

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Josh Brown just needs to not play bottom 2 sides and he stalls the innings as usual

Billings is batting too low

Channel 7 showed a graphic of the boundary dimensions of the GABBA. Definitely showed the 47 metre boundary, and another side there was an 80-85 metre boundary.

 

[NYRB]

Renshaw never looked comfortable out there, Jordan bowls him and he has bowled well.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Meh

Get a Billings in

Yeah, when the pitch is on the end of the square

 

[Aussie_boy]

Chaudary, Anderson, David in the same team is too much if you ask me. Should drop Anderson when Wade is back.
