BBL05: Game 2, Adelaide Strikers vs Melbourne Stars, Adelaide Oval.

[Carbine Chaos]

Never change, Stars.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Such a shame you're being forced to watch it. My arse bleeds for you.

Youre mistaken. I'll remember this game till tomorrow

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

They should have won last year, but hard to say who can win considering all you need is a bad game in a final and you're out, as is what happened to the Strikers.

And the Stars for the first three seasons.

 

[Millky95]

Adelaide a smokie in this tournament a decent all around team.

If Hodge wins a final, let alone the whole thing, let alone as captain, I might quit watching cricket all together

 

[Andrew Mc]

Richardson getting the wickets he's deserved all night now (well, all night being his first couple of overs)...

 

[madman]

Bowls his good mate out first ball straight away!

 

[SilentHunter_]

The end has been a let down but good game.

 

[Moonwatcher]

About time Richardson chipped in

 

[skipper kelly]

There's something about that name.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Ch10 commentary mistake - its not John Hastings. Its Big John Hastings

 

[kozi]

3 no balls there and they could have had it

 

[Moonwatcher]

Stars should be winning games against the likes of the Strikers given their line up.

 

[BoxMatrix]

Well this season looks like another wasted one.

We'll thankfully drop Zampa next match. Hopefully Faulkner follows him as well. Absolute waste of space he is.

Just looks like the same old from the Stars. Just accepting mediocrity.

Strikers had more elite talent

 

[offtherails9]

There's something about that name.

Both pretty decent at their chosen sport... How about you?

 

[Andrew Mc]

No idea if they give one these days, but Ross MotM?

 

[JUBJUB]

So Eddie how will the Tarts go this season ?

Would be something funny about him doing it for Adelaide

 

[Moonwatcher]

Strikers had more elite talent

Ludeman and Simmons? Hodge was the only elite player to stand up for the Strikers tonight. Ross is exciting though.

 

[Millky95]

Would be something funny about him doing it for Adelaide

And for that team? Argh...

 

[Grockadoc]

Ludeman and Simmons? Hodge was the only elite player to stand up for the Strikers tonight. Ross is exciting though.

Richardson was great. Should have had more than the 3 he ended up with.

Simmons is not an elite talent. Neither is Ludeman if we are talking about batting

Yes these two suck. Neser too. The rest are better than the Stars.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Yes these two suck. Neser too. The rest are better than the Stars.

Ludeman is good with the bat, he was just a gumby behind the stumps. Neser gives hope to every pie chucker out there. Why not play someone (literally anyone) else...

 

[1990crow]

Ludeman and Simmons? Hodge was the only elite player to stand up for the Strikers tonight. Ross is exciting though.

Hodge, Ross, Rashid, Richardson, Laughlin, Holland all played well.
Head was unfairly given out. Mahela looked short a gallop. Give Simmons and Ludeman the chop and there's no reason why this team can't go all the way.
