T20 BFFCL Big Bash Round 4 Melbourne Bolts vs Blue Mountains Bounders @ Ikon Park

[Ant Bear]

​

ROUND 4
MELBOURNE BOLTS (3-0, 1st) VS BLUE MOUNTAINS BOUNDERS (0-3, 4th)
IKON PARK

VS

This hardly seems a fair contest, as the unbeaten Melbourne Bolts take on the winless Blue Mountain Bounders.

Melbourne boast a powerful top 6, with Fizzler, Nakia, Barrybran, Sab22 and TJASTA all averaging over 40 with strikerates above 150, and have not been challenged thus far. The lack of practice for the bottom order could prove to be an obstacle if the Bounders bowlers led by SparkleNarkle can break through.

In contrast, KohPhi and PeanutButter Pies are the only Bounders averaging over 25, and players such as sportsmaniac89, Matty411 and TheHairyGamer need to put greater value on their wickets against a Bolts attack that only has a combined 12 wickets in 3 games and is heavily dependant on Hatchy1992 and Spanna_.

Much interest will centre on which players will be the target of the sim's Golden Duck Arrow. I can't see the Bounders getting off the canvas to win this one. Melbourne Bolts to bat first, score 200+ and win by about 50 runs.

Captains Fizzler and SarahSmiles to post teamsheets by 11.59pm Thursday night, or else the secret rule infringements will applied arbitrarily.​

Just save yourselves the embarrassment and forfeit. It'll boost your net run rate.

 

[sportsmaniac89]

Ah Ikon Park, one of the worst venues for qricket of all time!

Anyway, we're looking at creating history this week and no Melbourne team is standing in our way!

Bolts about to become the first team to lose to Bounders! Think of it as losing to South in 1970, Sydney in 1993 or Fitzroy in 1996. Only worse

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Let’s just save time and give us the win now. No one is in our league.

 

[TJASTA]

Got only love for you. Nunez the only CHALLENGE in this league for the BOLTS.

 

[Spanna_]

Rolled you lot once, will roll you again.

 

[Hatchy1992]

We're 4-0 and we've been doing it all without me. Let's change that trend on my return and still win

Ah.. sparkys again. and the worst venue to play cricket from what I've heard.

 

[big_j]

No, we're 4-0. You just don't know it yet.

You have peaked too early. We're just getting started now.

As the resident Statistician of the great and serene Blue Mountains, I can prove this using simple graphical representation.

 

[Barrybran]

We possibly have but boy is our net run rate HOT! You might want to start the Bounders a little lower.
