BBL Match 42 The Knockout Adelaide Strikers v Perth Scorchers 1910hrs @ Perth Stadium

[Tugga27]

Maybe we have every team play twice and give away finals. Top spot wins the title.

To much revenue would be lost without finals.

 

[Nathan Barley]

This is embarrassing. One of the all time worst innings from Kelly

 

[BACCS]

Were other teams not subjected to the same conditions?

Yes, I want the whole comp to have the best players for the entirety, don’t you? The draft is absolutely pointless and no reason a season can’t be condensed into one month.

 

[V_23]

Is there any other league in the world where half of the best players leave on the eve of finals?

BBL just needs to sell their soul to the IPL franchises already. Just delaying the inevitable.

 

[Andronicus]

Did Kelly do something good a season or two ago? I seem to remember him for something. Not sure what.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Hmmmm.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Can Weatherald make another 50 before the team is bowled?

 

[Andronicus]

Yes, I want the whole comp to have the best players for the entirety, don’t you? The draft is absolutely pointless and no reason a season can’t be condensed into one month.

Well yeah, but you highlighted only your missing players.

 

[gtrxuone]

Harry Neilson run out.Silly single straight to the fieldsman,in side the circle.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Harry Nielsen has played close to 50 big bash games

 

[Nathan Barley]

Did Kelly do something good a season or two ago? I seem to remember him for something. Not sure what.

No but he's the best south Australian born batsmen

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Nielsen's keeping is OK, but he shouldn't be anywhere near a T20 side given his complete lack of batting ability. You can get away with it as a lowe order batsmen in the long format, but not short form where you need big hitters who are half-capable with the gloves.

 

[Redline]

Head and Carey now test players has created a new challenge to the Strikers list management.

It has but they knew that for almost 12 months.

Priority has to be a keeper who can bat in the top 6 assuming Carey is still playing for Australia. Get a keeper batsman and replace Hose.

 

[BACCS]

Well yeah, but you highlighted only your missing players.

That was just an example. When I see Jack Edwards opening for the Sixers you know this comp is struggling for depth and needs the best players here for longer.

 

[V_23]

Don’t worry, Manenti is here to save the day with his average of * checks notes * 7.57!?

 

[Moonwatcher]

Manenti is the redback's best batsman.

BBL just needs to sell their soul to the IPL franchises already. Just delaying the inevitable.

ACB are too proud to do it. Teams like Adelaide Knight Riders and Sunrisers Perth would be an upgrade on the Mickey Mouse league we have at present.

 

[BACCS]

Don’t worry, Manenti is here to save the day with his average of * checks notes * 7.57!?

Manenti has played some good Shield innings the last couple of years, very handy with the bat (but probably not someone you want coming in at 6).

There’s one thing the ACB, Channel 7, and Fox like more than pride…

 

[Around the Wicket]

BBL is a joker league

 

[V_23]

Scorchers all over the Strikers and Agar still copping tap

 

[BACCS]

Certainly didn’t think Weatherald would be saving our arse in a final after his early season form

 

[gtrxuone]

Fantastic batting and tactical nouse by JW.Waited patiently for the bowling weak link to come on.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Why take a single

 

[Redline]

Manenti has played some good Shield innings the last couple of years, very handy with the bat (but probably not someone you want coming in at 6).

Agreed, I think all our bowlers have improved their batting. Agar, Thornton, Manenti and others have made runs.
