[Moonwatcher]

Think the Strikers can lose this and still make it. Would be much tighter though.

EDIT: Would take a big win against the Scorchers and a small Renegades win against the Heat

 

[Stig O'Hara]

There’s another Manenti??

Reckon we’re a batter short anyways.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Matt Short and Lynn gone

 

[Plugger35]

I should take the blame for that wicket, I just traded Matt Short into my supercoach team.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Need Darcy to fire tonight

 

[Stig O'Hara]

That’s 4.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Wicket seems slowish. Still would want 170 considering the weak attack.

 

[Around the Wicket]

no doubt if you put a 2024 sportsmen against a 1930's sportsmen the 1930's sportsmen would be in a world of pain.

 

[Reign Man]

I really loved Gilly when he played but is there any way we can excommunicate him now?

 

[Moonwatcher]

Losing Matt Shirt early was big

 

[Around the Wicket]

Its like they got sick of the chasing sides winning all the time so there've produced slow shit wickets to counter it.

 

[010203]

The Strikers are going to need more than 200 if they are to pull off an upset.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Its like they got sick of the chasing sides winning all the time so there've produced slow shit wickets to counter it.

So Strikers would have batted if they won the toss?

 

[Stig O'Hara]

That was just dumb.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Couldn’t have missed that by more if he tried.

 

[PhatBoy]

If there is one thing reverse sweeps always are, it’s ’necessary.’

 

[Plugger35]

A lot resting on Carey now with both Shorts gone.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Aw geez.

 

[010203]

D'arcy Short is a dickhead playing shot like that to get out and now Carey is gone.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Well that’s almost game done.

 

[Plugger35]

Now Carey is gone too.

I hope this other Manenti can bat, it looks like they will need him.
