BBL Match 43 Challenger Sydney Sixers v Sydney Thunder 24/1 1845hrs @ the SCG

[Carbine Chaos]

Some awful bowling from Andrews to give the Sixers a bit of momentum.

 

[NYRB]

Expensive start from Tom Andrews 12 off his 1st. Not sure if he will get his full quota of 4 overs tonight.

 

[Moonwatcher]

HARSH

 

[Stig O'Hara]

She’s a cruel game cricket.

 

[Moonwatcher]

This the only sport you get someone out for dropping a catch?

 

[010203]

Josh Phillippe can consider himself unlucky to get out in that manner.

 

[JimmyBC]

No sympathy

 

[Plugger35]

Philippe unlucky, a shit ball from Sangha and then he gets a run out from dropping a catch.

Hope the Bellerive groundsman has produced an absolute road for the final. If the Thunder make it through I don't like the prospect of facing their spinners on a slow deck.

The Thunder spinners are better than the Hurricanes spinners so they should be rolling out a deck there that favours the quicks.

Fishing.

 

[NYRB]

Let David Warner captain his team instead of talking throughout the innings with the comms. This must be the only sporting league in the world where this happens.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Feels like a bad start but Sixers are in a recoverable position

 

[NYRB]

I dont mind the captain chat to the TV viewers , do it for a round robin game. But not a finals game with huge stakes on the line.

Boo I want a SL bunsen

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Sixers playing safe to 130/140 then banking on getting Warner early?

 

[NYRB]

Average Power Surge batting first here from 22 games at the SCG is 21.75 runs.

Sixers will be tempted to take the Surge when Moises is there.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Green’s having a bend.

Chucky is awesome

 

[LukeParkerno1]

This looks putrid slow this wicket

 

[Plugger35]

The Sixers need to get a rattle on.

Are you watching the Fox coverage? He is contracted to them as a commentator so they feel entitled to talk to him and vice versa.

The commentators aren't talking to him or anyone else on Ch7's coverage.

It shouldn't even bother me, but I absolutely hate these on pitch interviews. Before and after the match, that should be it. No matter what sport or what league.

 

[cats_09]

There just seems no urgency from the Sixers

 

[NYRB]

Weibgen drops one. A better fielder would have snagged that.

 

[Mr Meow]

The Canes have such better hitting power through their batting line up compared to these two sides. 6ers are a bit pedestrian when Smith isn't there to carry them.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Kid blew it. That's an important dropped catch.

 

[Plugger35]

Could be a costly drop.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Useless dud catch the ball
