Big Bash League: Brisbane Heat vs Hobart Hurricanes, 'Gabba, 28/12/2013, 7:10 AEDT

Betting agencies should refund on Hobart.
That is an utter disgrace.

Talking bout their bowling performance right? Who lets Christian belt a fifty? Haha.

I think it wasn't out, but don't go too quickly on the "cheat" tag.

Exactly. Was the umpire who gave Root out cheating?

 

[red+black]

And that is game over for Hobart

 

[Admiral Byng]

Shah out!

Expect a clatter of wickets now.

 

[Smeg Head]

Crafty, gets another one with that mishit!

 

[DamoESP]

As a complete neutral that isn't the biggest fan T20 cricket, that decision was a load of crap, and I feel has ruined the game completely. Killed all momentum that the Hurricanes had and now the game is a forgone conclusion.

Imagine if that happens with Australia 9 down tomorrow with 2 runs left to win...everyone would be outraged.

Hobart doesn't deserve to win. #Heatmagic

 

[red+black]

As others have said, terrible decision to a non-appeal has completely ruined this game.

Didn't care who won but after that want Hobart to win.

Doubt they can with 4 down chasing almost 13 an over.

Would be annoyed if that happened to the actual Tassie side in Shield cricket, but only people who really care about this format are punters and if you can afford money on a hit-&-goggle where the best players are going to be offon other duties and might play the occasional game you can afford to lose money.

Brisbane have this now.

 

[Black Diamond]

It doesn't matter that only one player appealed. #Heatmagic

 

[BACCS]

Why did Gulbis come in before Paine?

 

[Stig O'Hara]

That's some nice ramping.

It doesn't matter that only one player appealed. #Heatmagic

Any reason for trying to emulate Grotto with the spam?

 

[Ronnie Baby]

Why did Gulbis come in before Paine?

Match fixing, colluding with umpires, spud player, any number of reasons really.

I think the old long-stop on the rope might be a worthwhile fielding position.

Plenty of people have posted more than me in this thread.

 

[DangerSloane]

Gulbis.
Bring it.

 

[HBF]

Reckon he got most of that Flem.

 

[red+black]

I'd have to go back and check the Birt mini-appeal. What I'm reading is that an appeal must be verbal. From memory, he belatedly and sheepishly raised his arm. I can't recall if he voiced an appeal.

Why did Gulbis come in before Paine?

I think they are hoping that he could come in a smack a quick 20. Paine dosent really score all that quick.

 

[PTizzle]

Gannon looks like he bowls quicker than 125, if that makes sense.

Would be nice if the Hurricanes won.

 

[red+black]

nope, no verbal:

[HBF]

Fair call that.
Thought it was a harsh call live.

 

[Tassieboy]

That's silly bowling.

 

[PTizzle]

Oh dear
