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

JFM to hit 150 of 38

He's just got to pretend it's stick cricket

Or even this - loved this game back in the 90s, 500+ runs when batting first was pretty standard

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

Pitching it up on the last ball was poor into the wicket was the play. Kerr is a guy that likes to free his arms

I raise you World Cup Cricket for the Commodore 64. 1200 up for grabs if you're any good.

I agree. Fast and into the wicket should have been the play.

I still prefer the more modern technology of Shane Warne '99. No cricket simulation has bested it.

Literally anywhere where he couldn’t get under the ball on the half volley it was a ridiculous idea if that was the plan sure nice shot but why bowl it there?

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...

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.

Heat are more likely but if the stars are alive going into Sunday and it's a dead rubber for the hurricanes I can see the stars lifting and pulling it off. They have enough match winners in their team to do it.


But that relies on the heat losing to the canes tomorrow first. If they win tomorrow the renegades are so useless that the stars are probably out.
But

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

Yes, but a Brisbane Heat win tomorrow night puts 3 teams out of the finals.

Tough one for the Strikers. Our failing quicks are South Australian and we will feel a duty to keep them and develop them as much as we can.

We'll trade death bowler K. Richardson bank to you

Maybe as a straight swap for Matt Short - allow both players to return to their home states

Henry Thornton is from NSW.
Brendan Doggett is from Queensland.
Liam Haskett is from WA.
Jordan Buckingham is from Victoria.
Liam Scott is a Queenslander raised in NSW.
Jamie Overton is a Pom.

Head, Carey, Lloyd Pope, Harry Nielsen and Tom Kelly are the only South Australians in the Strikers squad.
Nielsen was never going to play with the addition of an import keeper to the side.

 

[CURVE]

Missed the last half hour or so but happy to see the Sixers have won, I wasn't sure it was going to happen when Henriques was given out LBW despite nearly middling the ball.

I'm not sure if they are going to progress far in the finals, Vince is gone, and I think Smith and Abbott depart before the finals.

Thornton, Doggett , Buckingham and Scott are redbacks is what I meant and we'll continue to pick many of them.
