BBL|06 and WBBL|02: Match Discussion Thread!

Happened to Jake Lehmann in the Shield BM. He was on 46 when he hit the winning runs which went to the boundary, but they completed the single first to end the game, so he only got 47. :( But SA won so it was alright :D

that's such a stupid rule!

so that means if you smack the ball high as flower, complete a single, but then get caught, the single counts?

although now thinking about it... if you hit the ball to a fielder, run through, fielder misses the stumps and it runs for 4 overthrows, you still get the 5 runs (or however many you ran). so I guess it does make sense

but yeah you'd still feel robbed

Wow, not happy with that! Every point from Sanga is scarce enough, let alone when he would have got an 8 point strike rate bonus if it went to the fence.

Today's match could be rain interrupted - Showers predicted on and off for the day. Should get the game in hopefully without DL.

Ground will be damp so bowlers will be on a further hiding to nothing,

Henriques has won the toss and the Sixers will bowl first.

Sixers: Hughes, Roy, Maddinson, Henriques, Haddin, Billings, Botha, Abbott, Dwarshuis, Somerville, Thornton

Heat: McCullum, Peirson, Lynn, Ross, Burns, Cutting, Wildermuth, Steketee, Buchanan, Swepson, Badree

Been drizzling all day here and still very overcast so could be an interesting game.

Chances of getting through the full game pretty minimal Ringo?

Clear at the moment though and as i said only drizzle so with 20/.20 may play through it. Just advising for those out there to consider, I have 4 Heat players in Official and 3 in BBL Lyn C in Official and McCallum in BBL (Could not afford Lynn in BBL)

[elephants]

McCullum and Lynn out. Who woulda thunk it

[Gigantor]

Lynn with a dickie shoulder is a bit of a worry

[Ringo]

Time for the lesser lights to now stand up and build a decent total.

[Bill Manspeaker]

great catch

[PowerBug]

Well, Pollard is next then...

Difference in Social Media posts:
Thunder twitter:
WICKET!! Watto with an absolute SCREAMER off his own bowling to dismiss Pietersen for 60 Stars 4-147

Stars twitter:
KP out. Watson holds a tough catch and gets the c&b. @KP24 departs for an impressive 60 from 37. We're 4-147 #BBL06

That each way bias :o

Well, Pollard is next then...

Him and Narine aren't safe.
