BBL Match 37 Sydney Sixers v Sydney Thunder 17/1 1845hrs @ the SCG

[hawkman]

Need to find a way switch the Melbourne and Sydney teams. The Melbourne teams deserve to have the Sydney weather

Can still get a five over game. Wonder what the time cut off is.

You lose an over each side every 4 minutes in our league (after half an hour) as a rough guide.

So Sixers get set a target of 37 in a few overs when play commences later and then we call it a night?

 

[Plugger35]

It wouldn't surprise me if this ends up being a washout despite there being bugger all rain on the radar.

Even if it stops raining long enough they still have to get the ground dry and the umpires don't need much excuse to call it off.

Probably closer to 55 if it's a 5 over game.

IMO that should be the rule, they should have to ground there feet inside play again before touching it

I agree.

As will the Stars

Why the Stars? The best they can do is 4th & an away final

A NR tonight locks Hobart into top spot

Some believe that means they could take it easy against the Stars

They play Hobart in their last game. They'd rather play a Hobart who have top spot locked than one that has to win to keep it.

Not necessarily take it easy, but there's a difference between a side that has top spot locked and a team that needs to win to secure top spot

Cricinfo's latest update at 9:15 AEDT: When the covers were coming off a bit ago, the game was briefly shortened to nine overs. Not anymore. It's still falling.

A washout is inevitable. Same old Sydney, always raining.

 

[eth-dog]

9:50 apparently the cutoff

Beautiful rain dance for 22 mins baby

Barely rained all summer here just unlucky

Meh least we don’t get our annual pasting by Smith

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Telecast is done!

Yessssss

 

[Plugger35]

Yeah this game looks like a write off, it seems like every time it stops raining and they take the covers off it starts raining again.

There will be some finals in Sydney with the Sixers and the Thunder in the Top 4, hopefully they don't get washed out as well.

Yeah, two.

Hobart host the QF against Sixers
Thunder host the EF against whoever
Sixers host either Prelim or GF depending on whether or not they beat Hobart

 

[Cold Sober]

Stars will win this thing

Called according to CA website.

3rd washout of the season in Sydney.

 

[ep2018]

Congrats Stars on finishing 4th. Niggle riddled Canes will absolutely send out a B team knowing they finish top regardless.
