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

[ep2018]

No total is too large for this Canes team but you just know they'll be all out under 100 if they are chasing 200+.

Canes and Stars are finals choke specialists.

If I wanted to watch these ****wits, I'd go watch them.

Why are they polluting their main coverage?

 

[nobbyiscool]

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.

You know it streams on the 7 app now? That's how I watch it when the choice is Ponting vs Waugh.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Still a contribution

 

[Plugger35]

Warner gone, finally something for the Hurricanes supporters to cheer about.

 

[gtrxuone]

Oh boy did the Canes need that
Great BBL bat by Warner

 

[largebus]

Fair catch

 

[nobbyiscool]

I'm not sure you get credit for your sportsmanship when you question it, dawdle off, and wait for the umpires to review it.

What the hell is this? Did he walk or not?!

edit: and it's clear as a bell. Eat shit Warner, you immense flog.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Now we can’t take it for another few overs

 

[Hamingja]

Tighter catch than it looked live

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Nothing cricket loves more than wasting time unnecessarily

The umpires told him to wait he was happy to take Wade’s word

 

[Plugger35]

Clear catch from Wade, he did well to get his gloves under that, it kept pretty low.

 

[Moonwatcher]

on a hattrick

 

[nobbyiscool]

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.

I think the JackJumpers last season were probably bigger than both of them.

Although for the purists it was the first Shield win. (Pura Cup win )

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Why isn’t Billings in?

Good now get lost Gilkes

 

[largebus]

Well well well. What a shithouse shot though

 

[V_23]

Ellis on a hatty

 

[Moonwatcher]

Punter happy again

 

[Gift]

knew this was gonna happen if they didnt take the surge straight away because of the mid break

always happens in bbl

 

[gtrxuone]

Oh boy the Canes have a pulse
And punter almost in meltdown

 

[Plugger35]

Eliis bowls Gilkes and he is on a hat trick, the Hurricanes supporters and Ponting are up and about now.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Gilkes ya’ nong.

All seemed to happen in slow motion.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Well well well. What a shithouse shot though

No loss Gilkes is only ever good for one good knock in 5 and that was last innings

You know it streams on the 7 app now? That's how I watch it when the choice is Ponting vs Waugh.

I just find the quality isn’t quite as good. I’d literally only watch it for Punters commentary.
