BBL Match 31 Adelaide Strikers v Brisbane Heat 11/1 1930hrs @ the Adelaide Oval

[NYRB]

That last ball of Adelaides innings should have been a catch.

 

[Cleavy]

Kath!!!

 

[PhatBoy]

That Starc catch really ruined outfield catching didn’t it. The ball is allowed to bounce off his fingers ffs. They were under it the whole time

Totally different examples.

These ones have been causing issues for years.

Remember those days as a little kid...haha.

Kath!!!

Even at my tender age of 67 she was still enough to tickle the hormones....haha.

The intrigue about tomorrow's Melbourne Derby is to see if JFM can score more than 10 runs.

Feel like it only made things worse though because that interpretation made it so any bit of grass touching the ball is deemed dropped. Whether that’s between someone’s fingers (as they’re clasped around the ball) or not, seems irrelevant at this point.

Kath!!!

She's beautiful.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Even Darcy Short is smoking them.



I could see him being a Tim Bresnan bowling all rounder type for next Summer's Ashes series.

Bresnan was an underrated player in England's last Ashes win in 2010/11, the Aussies were pretty hopeless back then though

Surely Ollie Robinson is better and even so surely England have better quicks

 

[NYRB]

Michael Neser opening as a pinch hitter wasn't on my bingo card in 2025

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Neser opening that's bold.

I would have gone with renshaw or Bryant surely.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I’m sorry am I more drunk than usual…

Neser opening the batting?

That Starc one was pretty clear the moment Marais Erasmus decided to apply the letter of the law.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

That 252 should do wonders for our NRR.

Geez, got no idea who half our bowlers are though.

Anyhoo…..

Overton can easily lose it going for 70+

England don't trust Robinson's fitness he doesn't back up test after test.

I think it's pretty obvious England will bring carse Atkinson and potts plus wood as their main cast. The interesting will be what they do spinner wise whether they gamble on Bashir or Ahmed (both very inexperienced) and whether someone is tempted enough to take a risk with Archer (I wouldn't).

This has filtered down to local cricket too. Had some peanut last week stay for a clear as day catch and the umpire gave him not out. Very annoying that batsmen just linger now and it all started with the Starc catch.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Who is this bloke

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Bowl a wide yorker and get the wicket.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Neser opening the batting?

Yes, as long as you don't see two of him....lol.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

You bloody ripper Hasketty!!!

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I swore I thought Haskett already debuted, but then I realised I got him mixed up with Liam Hatcher.

 

[Plugger35]

I was going to say Neser was doing a good job as a pinch hitter but now he's gone, the WA import Haskett strikes.

Pre-emptive jinx!

McSweeney must remember he's not facing Bumrah because he can't afford to be bogged down.
