My son just said “hey, Kelly just hit a 4 and a 6 maybe they can do it!”

Tv graphic shows next three batsmen are Bazley, Neilson and Manenti.

Yeah nah.

That’s without having to rely on Weatherald to bat for a while in a pressure situation. Which he can’t do - as he’s just proved.

Weatherald has made his last 3 50s in pressure situations when any loss sent us packing. Also made 100 in a BBL final. Maybe want to recheck your facts before posting absolute crap next time.
 
Neilsen looks like he can deflect quickly bowlers for ones and twos.Prove me wrong and go straight for 6.Not a lot of power in his batting.

What else is he meant to do? RRR is already out of control, on a hiding to nothing really

Johnson had econ 3.5 last game with 2 wickets on the exact same conditions and got Matt Short out this game and barely went for anything. Why protect your wicket on the other bowlers then go the step forward hit on Johnson who has been bowling good length to have such crazy numbers. Maybe have a go at all the other bowlers and not Johnson until later?

Can't really be doing that when you need 11 an over from the outset. The Heat have the best bowling attack this year, it's not surprising to see them be restrictive on us when defending a big total. Weatherald just couldn't get any timing tonight, he wasn't trying to bat at 50 SR.
 
Didn't realise Darcy Short was 33yo he's never playing for Australia again, had a nice patch a couple of years ago looks a plodder now.

But he didnt attack any of the other bowlers before, only Kelly did. He finally went to attack on Johnson and got out first ball.
 
Taking the power surge with Nielsen batting.

Genius coaching tactics from Dizzy again.
He’s a genuine moron. This is why this state is a laughing stock. Too shit scared to change and make hard calls on anything. You’d be laughing if you were the toilet paper supplier to the Saca in 1878 you’d still be in business!

I'm really not worrying about minor things like this tbh. The difference between the two sides is one freak innings (who else has really got going?) and the Heat having a far superior bowling attack. Strikers were always on borrowed time this season, all good to see the best two teams in the final.

Failed to set this season alight, especially having the advantage of batting on the Adelaide Oval batting decks.

His last 2 years at Hobart, he looked cooked.

I think him getting to rep Australia at international level was his moment but I generally dont think he has looked to improve or better his game. The IPL teams quickly identified that , as he only had 1 season there.
