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

[Stig O'Hara]

I like that we can still have arguments over decisions even with modern technology, that's one of the great traditions of cricket.

No doubt.

One of the great laws in cricket is the lbw law.

It doesn’t actually happen, it never has.

It’s an umpires prediction.

No other sport has that.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Still got a game here

 

[CURVE]

And if it starts being dislodged before the ball gets there but isn’t completely, then?

Then it isn't considered dislodged/broken. A bail needs to be completed removed from the top of the stump for the wicket to be considered broken.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

It's just a dumb shot choice, really. Stay, rotate the strike to support Billings.

 

[Plugger35]

Kerr strikes, not a great shot from Weibgen, he looks like bit of a spud.

 

[Around the Wicket]

There's no way in the world broadcasters and the fans I think would want to watch a weakened comp.

They need to reduce the length of the comp by 2 weeks so they can retain the imports.

No way, the quality of imports aren’t high enough to restructure the whole comp for..

 

[Mr Meow]

They still need the Billings wicket.

 

[Plugger35]

Green in now, the Thunder's weak batting line up being exposed, a lot riding on Billings to get them home.

Same problem the AFL has. Hamstrung by broadcasters and unable to make the tough calls to get things right long term.

 

[010203]

Take the surge

 

[amazingjoshy]

Brad Haddin and taking the power surge

Name a more...

 

[010203]

The Thunder will be happy now that Chohan's spell is over.

That's your boundary Al Nicholson!

 

[RAPPA]

Looked like lazy fielding there. Could’ve saved the boundary

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Getting very exciting.

 

[Plugger35]

Same problem the AFL has. Hamstrung by broadcasters and unable to make the tough calls to get things right long term.

The AFL doesn't have the problem of their best players being poached by overseas T20 competitions or to play for Australia.

 

[CURVE]

I want the commentator hung drawn and quartered and his head stuck on a spike outside the ch7 headquarters.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Big Silk had the game there.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Would bet on Silk there 99/100 at least there

 

[NYRB]

Silks fielding hasn't been sharp as usual tonight for his usual self.

 

[Plugger35]

Silk missing a run out, he spent it before he had it, uncharacteristic fielding error as he is a gun fielder.

 

[NYRB]

Jeez surprise Thunder haven't taken Surge yet in Over 16.

 

[Plugger35]

The Thunder should get home from here, they still aren't taking the surge though which is strange.

They should take it while Billings is still there.

 

[010203]

Brad Haddin and taking the power surge

'Move the game forward' is another of Haddin's favourites.

 

[010203]

Jeez surprise Thunder haven't taken Surge yet in Over 16.

If I had my way, the rule would be that it must be completed by the end of the 15th over.

Interesting
