WBBL 08

[Teen Wolf]

You have to admire how Ellyse Perry bleeds magenta. Despite leading the Golden Bat award (presented by BKT Tires), she refuses to wear the attention-seeking yellow cap. Because of her dedication to the Sixers. And yes, a large endorsement from Toyo Tires.

Anyway, on Friday she is set to become the first player to captain 100 WBBL games (currently 59 wins, 39 losses and 1 no result). Next most is Meg Lanning (78 all up--54 with the Stars, 24 with the Scorchers) whose tactics lived on today when Nicole Faltum chose to chase on a pitch that had already seen 180 overs of action since Thursday.

This Blacktown pitch is deplorable, the bounce is so uneven, the ball that got Carey barely made over toenail height.

The Hurricanes struggled to make it to 9/109.

Perth should win, but I think it will be difficult because the pitch is so poor.

Yep. Honestly I hope they move the Smash. Honestly just play two at North Sydney

I think there are only three games left at Blacktown, one tomorrow and a double header including the first Sydney derby in November. The remainder of the games in Sydney will be played at North Sydney in the final week.

I hope they move the first Syd smash. Pitch is a flat disgrace I went Sunday night nit going again if it’s at Blacktown

Love to see the Sydney derby moved to Manuka.

I’d take anything that’s not Blacktown. Honestly how hard is it to produce a fair wicket

Fair player Georgia Redmayne - 98no is a great knock in oppressive conditions. Gracie Harris handy too - Heat on track for a decent result.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Redmayne should be the national keeper not Healy

She gave plenty of chances, none of them easy, mind you...

 

[k31th]

Great catch from Grace Harris to dismiss Matthews

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Unfortunately it’s not pouring down in Sydney so we have to play on the cow paddock again

 

[k31th]

'gades just don't have the batting depth to challenge this year, especially without Alana King in their bowling attack.

 

[k31th]

suicidal running from Kershaw.

 

[k31th]

decent rear-guard action by Leeson with 34* from 24... but it was too little too late.

 

[k31th]

Thunder fielders are giving the 'canes a lot of extra lives

And the umpire not giving Johnston when she was dead plumb…

Shocking umpiring

 

[k31th]

7/144 is a pretty good score at Blacktown from the Hurricanes. Will be a tough chase

I am over it least Amy can show up these plods and Chloe Tryon isn’t there to run Haynes out again.

Do the Thunder not have any more spinners on their list? Got the tactics all wrong, if I'm a WBBL team I'd be aiming for at least 12-14 overs of spin.

Have a few developing ones plus Tryon who is unavailable this game

 

[LukeParkerno1]

See what happens when you take catches lol

 

[RW]

Looks like game over with Litchfield gone, she was the key for the Thunder

 

[CURVE]

Litchfield was looking pretty good until an inside edge onto the stumps. Looked a little lazy from Litchfield, didn't really move her feet.

Looking at the Thunder squad I don't think they are going to win too many games this season, they are pretty light after the first four.

 

[k31th]

Would have liked to see the catch, ya dumb director...
