BBL Match 42 Knockout Sydney Thunder v Melbourne Stars 22/1 1900hrs @ Sydney Showgrounds Stadium

[The Sultan]

Just popped in to say how much I like commentators asking rhetorical questions about bowling speed.

For example:

‘I mean, does he go pace on, or pace off?’

It brings a whole new element to the coverage that I never thought I’d be alive to see or hear.

the cricket equivalent of footy's long / short / spinning / low / bouncing ball comment

 

[Saints4ever]

Food trucks again. They must be asked by the ground to show them.

So cringe and adds absolutely nothing to the coverage.

No I don’t want to see someone lining up to get an ice cream.

 

[tigs2010]

Clear 4 lol

 

[Coasters7]

What is this batting lineup lmao? Weibgen and Gilkes 2 and 3, Davies and Garton 5 and 6

 

[danielnajdek]

It's 4.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Revert to the ball having to clear the boundary for a 6 and you won't have these problems.

 

[chickenonachain]

Fecking four u idiots

 

[Plugger35]

Garton with a one handed six Lance Cairns style.

Maybe it's a one handed 4, he is no Lance Cairns.

Like all the batsmen saying the pitch is two paced when they struggle to make a good score, every pitch is two paced these days.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Why isn't this game in 4k?

Not sure it would make a difference, but it certainly highlighted to me that we're filming with potatoes.

 

[peternorth]

The Stars need a wicket.

 

[Ekomaira]

how did it take them 3 years to make that decision?

 

[Stig O'Hara]

That went.

 

[Plugger35]

The power surge taken and Davies delivers with a six off Siddle.

 

[Plugger35]

Steketee with another horrible catching attempt.

 

[hawkman]

Thunder could be all out already if the Stars had taken their chances

 

[chickenonachain]

how bad is the fielding

 

[Gift]

Stars soooo terrible at fielding (besides Maxy)

 

[peternorth]

massive dropped catch there. could be match defining

 

[Stig O'Hara]

This has had some classic silly so far.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Ponting saying the Thunder batsmen should know how to play on a shit surface at home, maybe so but it's still a shit surface.

They shouldn't be playing finals at this ground or at Marvel which is another shit surface, play the finals at the SCG or the MCG.

Why? Why shouldn’t we be able to prepare a spin track? We have 3 spinners

 

[The Casey Cat]

how did it take them 3 years to make that decision?

Umpires got to do their bit in the task of needlessly wasting as much time as possible when fielding team and batsmen are getting on with it for a change.

 

[smasha]

Thunder would be 8 for 80 if we took our catches ffs.

 

[peternorth]

wicket

 

[LukeParkerno1]

You stupid Pom just stand there and whack it normally

DLS question: Will the Thunder have a few runs added to their score due to losing an over due to a lightning scare?
