BBL Match 50 Sydney Sixers v Sydney Thunder 1835hrs @ the SCG

[theiaofseed]

Has Smith ever opened besides these 2 games
In any T20?

He did in the IPL

He's averages 34 in the IPL, Kohli only averages 36 in the IPL for reference.

​

 

[NYRB]

Surely these last two innings from Smith changes how the Australian T20 line up the next time they play. He has to open.

yep him replacing Finch probably makes some sense.

 

[chickenonachain]

Still don’t know how they couldn’t play one more over

 

[NYRB]

bar Matt Short im not sure if there is any other opener knocking on the door at the moment for the openers role after Finch retires?

 

[danielnajdek]

Great innings. Maxwells innings is still number 1 for me in the BBL.

 

[NYRB]

187 would be a very good score here in a 20 over game, let alone a 19 over match.

Sixers will win this comfortably, and this performance sends a bit of warning to the other teams, especially the Scorchers for me.

 

[smasha]

Murphy very impressive.

 

[chickenonachain]

This bloke Abbott is a good bowler

 

[Belnakor]

It would be funny if Warner got out for a duck after Fox have been hyping him up.

He’ll be out cheaply for sure. He isn’t finch cooked but he isn’t far off

 

[Belnakor]

yep him replacing Finch probably makes some sense.

Embarrassingly enough finch hasn’t retired from t20i yet.

​

Smith is a bit stiff not to be playing ipl. Batting has been really tough the last couple of years. Hopefully they get the pitches right this year.

I’d be opening with Green

 

[CURVE]

I'm enjoying Warner's innings so far

 

[danielnajdek]

I don't even think Warner should be anywhere near the national t20 team.

 

[chickenonachain]

I hope imwrong and thunder make a game of it but it’s looking like they’re not winning this game

 

[Belnakor]

I hope imwrong and thunder make a game of it but it’s looking like they’re not winning this game

If they get more than 140 I’ll be amazed

 

[Plugger35]

Fox were hyping up the battle between Smith and Warner for this game, pretty obvious who is the better batsman.

 

[chickenonachain]

Right now it’s boys v men

 

[ROOTA#6]

How do some of these blokes get a game?

 

[Altum Volantes]

Haha “don’t champ me”

 

[theiaofseed]

Murphy caused that shot, when you open the bowling in a 19 over match and you pull out 0-4 off 2 makes it hard to come back.

 

[Belnakor]

At least Davies is in and cna provide a bit of entertainment

 

[freo_leo29]

That would have to be the first time someone has got back to back hundreds in the BBL, Smith is too good for this competition, he makes it look easy.

Mcdermott did it a couple years back I thought?

put him in the frame for the t20 world cup, got himself into the side for a bit

 

[chickenonachain]

Well umpired again

The Thunder need a thunderstorm in the next couple of minutes haha.
