BBL Match 35 Adelaide Strikers v Sydney Sixers 15/1 1900hrs @ Adelaide Oval

[Redline]

Not sure Pope/Thornton is a good death bowling combo, a good “might be the death of me” combo though.

This was discussed as our main weakness going into the tournament amd has cost us a number of games and a finals place. Really poor list management.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

He’s tried to bowl 4 Yorkers…

Landed zero

 

[ep2018]

Scorchers still alive.

 

[western royboy]

Umpire ****ed it

 

[Moonwatcher]

Scores level 2 balls remaining. How do the Strikers continually snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?

 

[amazingjoshy]

Why does Howard keep saying the Strikers are gone if they lose?

Granted it's unlikely, but they could still mathematically make it if the Heat and Stars lose all their remaining games even if they lose this

 

[Neese]

****ing useless team

 

[pacemaker]

Chances have just increased from the 3.2%

 

[010203]

Abbott had the winning runs hit off him at the Adelaide Oval in 2015. He hit the winning runs at the Adelaide Oval to put the Sixers on top tonight after bringing up a half century with the ball.

 

[Cleavy]

Disgraceful display of umpiring tonight.

Just another night at the BBL…

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Gutted.

Had it & lost it.

 

[Plugger35]

The Sixers just know how to win. the Strikers not so much.

 

[NYRB]

With 5 games to go, no team is officially ruled out yet.

Poor captaincy and no pace bowler who can bowl at the death. We should be top 2

 

[Cmarsh]

Been some great close finishes this season. This game no exception.

You’re supposed to tune Howie out. You’ll learn…

The Strikers don't deserve it. How many times can one lose an unloseable game in a season.

The Stars are clearly the best team out of the top 3 and should get 4th.

 

[NYRB]

A Brisbane win tomorrow however, kills 3 birds with one stone, with Perth, Adelaide and Renegades eliminated.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Don’t think Pope could have bowled much better in that 19th. Was really only the short wide one to Abbott that was poor.

Just don’t get why they keep bowling him in the 19th. The risk vs reward just isn’t there, good over and still goes for 13

 

[Moonwatcher]

Just as well, would have been a shame had the umpire's determined the result.

Great match.
Jeez the 6ers found a way to win.
Adelaide would of loved Siddle to bowl the final over.

Almost more likely than not given the favourites just need to win plus the sloggers (Gades) get to play at the Gabba against an underdone Heat

Its only the Brisbane vs Renegades game that would need to be an upset for the Strikers to still be able to make it.

But that would involve winning in Perth...

The Stars are clearly the best team out of the top 3 and should get 4th.

Stars will lose to the Hurricanes and won't even make it.

Brisbane Heat are the most likely to get in by beating the Renegades.
