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

[Ringo]

After sleeping on it why run when a wide was called. left 1 ball to go and 1 run required to tie and 2 to win.  Great odds rather than run on a wide through to keeper. the positive though is run rate was not affected and unless Scorchers win big should be assured of home semi.
Will be cheering on the Hurricanes and Sixers today.

Swepson would have been running as the bowler was releasing in case it was hit. Things probably happened too fast for him to change his mindset once it was a wide bowled.

he should've been way more alert though. even if he gets to about half way down the pitch he probably still gets back. but he just kept running

 The Scorchers win the toss and choose to bowl

Hurricanes XI: Paine, Short, McDermott, Bailey, Christian, Wells, Webster, Boyce, Rose, Broad, Reed

Scorchers XI: Klinger, Marsh, Turner, Agar, Whiteman, Voges, Tye, Johnson, Cartwright, Bresnan, Bell

Geez this is a great deep batting line up. Basically 4 batsmen, a keeper, and 6 all rounders!

Not many people know this, but Bressy is averaging 48 (forty eight!) this county season! What a beast - it's helped by 4 NOs but he still has 722 runs from 19 innings (out 15 times)

And this league is apparently biased for Vic teams...  :-X

7 all rounders, after that innings last week Tye has to be counted   ;D ;D ;D

A scorchers and stars win would be excellent.

I did count Tye tho ;) might be 7 ARs now with Voges!
Batsmen: Bell, Maxy, Marshy
Keeper: Whiteman
AR: Voges, Turner, Agar, Carty, Johnno, Bressy, Tye

This has been a great bowling performance so far, possibly the best we've had all tournament

Just gotta hope the last 3 overs and the batting innings are of similar quality. Gotta restrict and/or remove Wells fast

Bit of a disappointing finish, Tye going for 29 off his last 2 is crazy, Clive Rose, who would have thought it!

just hope the umpiring is consistent though. Reckon Scorchers got away with 3 or 4 over the shoulder but happy if consistent.
Still reckon the Bresnan catch was indecisive whether he touched rope or not which put Hurricanes further in mire. One view seemed to show he touched it and the other a little inconclusive,

I don't think it was (a) conclusive vision that he touched it or (b) that he touched it at all. Rope didn't move an inch when his foot was planted next to it and there was no definitive replay to show he touched it so I'd side with the out call. Lucky yes but the way our bowling was going in those middle overs Bailey wouldn't have survived much longer anyway :P


Going for all those runs late wasn't nice, but only had to chase 135 - could've been much worse if it was McDermott or Short still in rather than Wells

[Jukes]

Marshy on fire! Hopefully can get this done and grab top spot

[Jukes]

Wew there it is

Go the Sixers now, although a home final either way is nice enough
