The Sixers will end up ruing their loss to the Heat at North Sydney Oval. They ought to have been able to chase down 140. Instead, Healy, Perry and Kerr all failed and that was that.

 

[NYRB]

Think Brisbane have missed a trick here. Probably needed to avoid Redmayne as opener. Needed to change the order and promote power batters ahead.

 

[NYRB]

Dont get me wrong, Redmayne is a good backup option with Grace Harris in a proper T20 chase but the situation calls for batting power especially in the powerplay and a potential shorter game.

 

[NYRB]

And if your Sixers, you'd be tempted to bowl Kerr early here, just because, there is no point keeping here in the 14th to 20th over when the game will be gone.

 

[010203]

The Heat's hopes of finishing on top are probably gone now with Grace Harris back in the pavilion.

 

[cats_09]

Pretty much. They've always been perceived as the most stacked team but they've not done much of note since winning 2 and losing 2 of the first 4 WBBL finals. I feel like teams were beaten before the game started against the Sixers in the early years. That all changed when the Heat beat them in 2019 final at Drummoyne Oval. The other sides have well and truly caught up. The Heat and Strikers are all about getting the job done instaed of the bling and the glamour of the Sixers.

Reminds me a bit of the comparison between the Stars & Renegades

The team in green was always the team pumped up, they were seen as the team from the right part of Melbourne and for the more affluent type is crowd etc

The Renegades were the battlers, here to support their bigger brother/sister type thing


I have no doubt that us winning a BBL title before the Stars was never in the plans and there's still a lot to play out in the WBBL this season - but pretty sure finishing at the bottom end of the ladder the couple of seasons was seen as our place compared with being at the pointy end of it

I wouldn't mind having the two chasing targets on the screen

The one for the win, but also the one for the NRR boost for the Heat to jump into first

 

[010203]

Jemimah has played some glorious shots.

 

[NYRB]

Nicholsons commentary has been a bit off point tonight. He thought there was a Mikayla Hinkley out on the field.

 

[010203]

I'd bring Laura Harris in next if I was the Heat.

 

[NYRB]

if your a Gades/Sixers fans, you want to be bowling more to Redmayne here instead of Jemimah.

 

[010203]

Sack Charlotte Edwards.

The composition of this team was never going to challenge.

I couldnt ever understand why they were favs for the tournament.

I don't know about sacking the coach but I suggest they move a big name on just to make a statement.

 

[NYRB]

Sixers fielding has been terrible to start off with here.

And the DJ plays 'hot potato'

 

[010203]

Holly Armitage

She should never have dropped that catch.

 

[cats_09]

As a Gades fan I'm wondering if the Sixers are trying to help the Heat win...

 

[IKnowtheDog]

lost it in the lights

 

[010203]

That was a good over.......for the Renegades hopes of finishing top.

 

[NYRB]

And the Sydney Sixers become officially the 4th team eliminated . Hobart have secured 4th spot.

 

[cats_09]

Thank you Kerr

 

[NYRB]

Kerr on a hattrick. Now Brisbane priorities possibly change.

 

[010203]

OK now the Heat will worry about getting the win, the 'w' or the dub as some people say nowadays.

 

[NYRB]

Im not sold the Brisbane coach, has got this batting order right.

Surely if your going to have a look at chasing this down in 13.3 overs needed to rejig that order and look to shut down shop if 3-4 wickets fell.

I would have gone: G Harris, L Harris , Rodrigues and Jemimah. The batting order they have put out suggests to me they didnt get that right.

Kerr on a hattrick. Now Brisbane priorities possibly change.

They've got 6.3 overs to score the remaining 83 runs


Matthews & Dottin scored 80 in 5.1 overs, but they had both faced a few balls at the time & are known to be able to smack the ball

Does this pairing have the ability to accelerate to that level or did they miss a trick not elevating Harris to give them a slight chance at chasing it down

Redmayne I dont think Ive seen her chase down rrr> 10 an over.

JJ can whack them .

The two teams that made the Spring Challenge Grand Final, have made the playoffs eg Hobart and Brisbane. Pre-season form is good form.
