Laughable umpiring. Robbed Bell of his wicket and gifted McCullum a second chance

Yeah so if he wasn't in the ODI squad before tonight, he is now.

Ha no tons for cheat teams

Did not you see Bell stand on the rope which is 6 every day of the week.  Agree on McCullum though looked like he gloved it.

No appeal from the bowler would have really scattered the chances of him being given though.

That Willey no-catch was six yes, I was referring to Bell being given out in the first innings despite not hitting it (although it wouldn't have made a difference...probably)

Scorchers be wishing this was like BBL01 to BBL05 where they played the Strikers twice. Hurricanes happy they don't have to play Chris Lynn twice this season ;D

Apologies Jukes - Was out when the Bell was dismissed so have not seen it but no doubt you are correct as there have been some interesting umpiring decisions in BBL.  With no reviews umpires humanness is back in the game. The one thing I do not like in BBL is keepers appealing when a ball is legside to try an put umpires off giving wides.

Interesting stat:
6s in #BBL06
26 Chris Lynn
25 @ScorchersBBL
24 @HurricanesBBL
22 @ThunderBBL
21 @SixersBBL
16 @RenegadesBBL
11 @StarsBBL
and I am yet to get Lynn into my SC side. Was put off by his shoulder injury and the fact he only played 2 games prior to BBL. Big mistake.  >:(
