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

[Gift]

Sangha is insane.. why not take the 1, then the surge where he bats

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Good innings from Sangha, but he wasted it at the end.

 

[Plugger35]

Sangha gone, they should send Andrews in or McAndrew in for the Surge now but they will probably send in Green and take it.

Here they go.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Slower balls is key for Thunder, on pace have all been spanked

 

[Hamingja]

Good fightback from Hobart. Thunder will be spewing if they don't get 190+

 

[nobbyiscool]

Following that wicket I think 185-190 looks about par here, I think anything above 200 is going to be a really good score.

Of course, par doesn't really matter for the Hurricanes if 2 of Owen, Wade, McDermott or David get off the chain.

(If 3 of them got off the chain they could chase 250.)

 

[nobbyiscool]

Power surge with style!

 

[StillAtLarge]

Classic sangha dismissal

 

[Plugger35]

Nice start with a six from Davies but they need Andrews or McAndrew at the other end, Green isn't a power hitter.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Is there anyone in the world who cares more about the BBL than Ricky Pointing?

He borders on irrational in his frustration at times when he's commentating these games, in a way that he rarely is with test matches, and I love it - it makes the games seem more important.

 

[Plugger35]

Green pushing singles in a surge, ridiculous.

 

[Hamingja]

Outfield is lightning

 

[Around the Wicket]

Is Green actually good at Surge.. I can’t remember anything that special

 

[V_23]

Green’s lucky he’s a good-looking rooster, because his batting and bowling are ugly af

He is very intense when it comes to cricket in all forms, I've read some of his tour diaries, he lives and breathes cricket.

He would even take backyard cricket with his kids seriously.

 

[Around the Wicket]

I reckon this total will be unders on this pitch, Ellis special for MOM already

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Very well bowled Ellis.

 

[Hamingja]

Great 4 overs from Ellis holding back the dam wall

 

[juice t]

Green should try chuck his bat at it

 

[nobbyiscool]

That spell more than made up for his awful captaincy in the first half of this innings.

 

[sherb]

That's an outstanding spell from Ellis.

 

[gtrxuone]

Thunder will want 20 runs of the last 2

 

[Gift]

Thunder wanted to give Hurricanes a good chance to chase with Green in for the surge

 

[Plugger35]

That was a waste of a power surge from the Thunder, better hitters like Andrews and McAndrew still stuck in the shed, ridiculous.

Great bowling from Ellis but he got helped with two batsmen at the crease that struggle to hit or clear the boundary against him.

Mcandrews and Andrews not batting at the end is nuts
