BBL Match 44 Final Hobart Hurricanes v Sydney Thunder 27/1 1845hrs @ Bellerive Oval

[sherb]

It didn't take long for the hyperbole to come out in the pre-match build up.

"Biggest day in Tasmanian sport" they said.

Maybe - although in cricket alone I'd argue the 78-79 Gillette Cup final win against WA in front of a packed TCA ground in Hobart would be up there. That was an amazing day and an equally amazing win.

Unfortunately, research isn't a big thing in modern commentary.

Jack Simmons was worth his weight in gold for Tassie cricket.

Beautiful shot by Warner

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Geebers Hobart, get your arse into gear.

 

[V_23]

Thunder all over the Hurricanes here

 

[Snarls Barkley]

It looks like a good wicket but it's going to be hard to win from here. Should be looking at 210 now

 

[JimmyBC]

Punter sounds pissed off in commentary lol

 

[nobbyiscool]

Crowded hill is going to be dangerous when someone tees off.

Stackhats needed in the crowd.

 

[Plugger35]

Hatzoglou bowling some trash and Warner is cashing in.

I'm pissed off too! The Hurricanes have done every single thing wrong, including having their fielders in the wrong positions from the first ball.

You're 6 overs in, none down, and they're going 10 an over, the priority needs to be a wicket, not trying to keep it to 9 an over.

The leadership is infuriating, it's literally costing them the game at the moment.

Punter sounds pissed off in commentary lol

He is tearing his fake hair out.

 

[Bungeye]

I'm pretty sure Gannon was the leading Big bash wicket taker at one point? Lmao

I think Jason Richardson just mentioned this on Seven!

 

[Gift]

Thunder should take the surge early... i wanna see these two go nuts for entertainment

 

[JimmyBC]

This is piss weak from Hobart

 

[Hamingja]

Sydney Swans like grand final performance this from Hobart

 

[nobbyiscool]

Ponting still has an official role with the Hurricanes, yeah?

I wonder if this is proving the folly of dual roles. No point verbally trying to tear arseholes on commentary, get down to the bench and do it physically. Ellis & Wade both need a ****ing rocket.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Even a tight over went for 8

 

[Grumpyshades]

someone tell the Canes the game has started

How many shields? 3 or 4? Worth more than big bash

 

[StillAtLarge]

Amazing start from the thunder. It's all seemed very low risk too

The worst of the lot is not having a mid off to Hats when the bloke bowls slow in swingers

He’s head of strategy or something along those lines. Wish I could listen through 7 and not Kayo, sadly Mark Waugh doesn’t seem as invested in the Thunder these days.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Surely we take the surge straight away

 

[Bungeye]

Yet to bowl a yorker...it's crazy how undervalued this precious skill set is!

I mean, if you had a team that could bowl perfect yorkers, it would make a mockery of cricket. Lmao

 

[Plugger35]

The Thunder in a great position, 0/97 at the 10 over mark, they should get at least 200 from here and should be aiming for 220.
