Big Bash Game 10 - Brisbane Heat vs Perth Scorchers

[Admiral Byng]

And why did we have to chace 10 an over, when the heat werent even going 10 an over? I don't get how D/L works, and im not sure I will.

Three things must ye know about a limited overs cricket score:

1. number of runs
2. number of overs
3. wickets in hand

...to know if a team is going well, average, or shit.


The D/L system is the only one that tries to take all three into account. The exact mathematics of it is too complicated to explain in simple plain text.

Hopes is passed it

Tonight shows that military medium pie chuckers like cartright and Christian shouldn't be bowling length balls. If they can't bowl Yorkers and height quality slow balls, they should stick to batting.

Hauritz was always a better option to bowl darts

Mate, Cartwright shouldn't be getting a gig in the first place. Only there because mitchy hurt his hammy.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Few harsh posts on Hilton, battled hard with the bat in the 69 shambles and has tried his guts out with the ball and in the field. He's hardly played any state cricket, this experience will be invaluable. Blues is right, he's only there as a direct swap for Mitch (must have a Wesley quota in the team!) but he can hold his head high so far given the circumstances IMO.

 

[Kram]

Always funny to see that Christian tool get carted.

 

[Disco_Roach]

Woohoo! Now lets head back to the furnace and win some games there ai boys?

NCN you beaut!

Why? Really?

D/L was massively in favour of Perth last night. Massively. A fairer system would have had them chasing more from those 5 overs.

Maybe if Brisbane hadn't lost early wickets they'd have been alright? Scoring 51 off 5 overs isn't exactly a walk in the park; we definitely had to earn that win.

Brisbane went from $1.50 when rain came to $2.20 when next ball was bowled at change of innings.

That tells you plenty about the respective hopes of the two sides chances of winning being changed by D/L.

Bris should have stayed warm favs D/L worked closer to what it should.

Perth had a big advantage.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Maybe Brisbane would have won if Christian wasn't so rubbish? Blame him instead of the D/L.

 

[Bucking Beads]

That is who I am blaming. 24 off an over FFS. That will lose you the game in almost any short form match.

 

[Underdog]

Brisbane went from $1.50 when rain came to $2.20 when next ball was bowled at change of innings.

So people thought Perth was value on the revised target and high odds...

That says nothing about the "respective hopes".

WTF - it says everything about their respective hopes.

 

[western royboy]

Hopes is passed it

What of Herscelle Gibbs then? Looks unfit and way off the pace in every innings that I've seen.

 

[juzzo]

How so? Why didn't Hawthorn win the Grand Final? Believing majority of public opinion is always accurate is very silly.

 

[Kram]

It's always going to be hard to work out a 'fair' total to chase for a 5 over innings.

 

[BluesMan]

Why? Really?

D/L was massively in favour of Perth last night. Massively. A fairer system would have had them chasing more from those 5 overs.

We had two overs of fielding restricitons as well. Usually you get the first 5 and teams still struggle to get to 50 after 5 overs. Was a massive task and we pulled through

 

[iluvparis]

FFS - Because the market price going into the grand final suggested there was still a 35-40% chance the Swans would win the game.

Not beliveing major betting markets are more accurate than your own expectations 99% of the time is very silly.

But you also knew how fast you had to go, and had 10 wickets and 30 balls. You could afford to go faster and harder.

They deserved the win. The thing about reduced games, one bad over is made to look even worse. If Christian had bowled a decent over, they win.

 

[juzzo]

FFS - Because the market price going into the grand final suggested there was still a 35-40% chance the Swans would win the game.

Only according to the betting public. We have no way of knowing if Hawks would win it 8/10. Perhaps the Swans would've won it 6/10. Betting markets are not meaningful in predicting outcomes.

Not beliveing major betting markets are more accurate than your own expectations 99% of the time is very silly.

99%? That is just insanity
