I think if the hurricanes had have lost Travis Birt may have picked up a stump and stabbed the umpire

Quite obvious the umpire was in the same boat as me and realised Ben Cutting, who was on 0 at the time, was his fantasy captain. ;)

Great Game Great atmosphere shame a couple of umpiring decisions were more the talking point than the game itself.

Thing I do not like about the short from games is Bowlers are on a hiding to nothing. We see balls that would have hit the pads if batsmen had not walked across crease to get inside being called wide. Balss that rise off a length and exceed head high being called no balls. Whilst it is entertaining for the crowd it is not assisting bowlers develop.  If this is to continue I would do away with Power Batting over restrictions to make the batsmen play more legitimate shots.

I know will not happen but I really do fell that bowlers are suffering in the short game. Think Gannon was called 3 times last night 2 of which imo were still inside the lines just because batsmen walked across stumps to give opinion of leg side.

Luke Pomersbach has gotten out nearly the exact same way in his two matches to date.

Were you born yesterday? That was the very first problem with T20 cricket. It really is a batsmen's game. No matter how well you bowl you will usually get hit for runs.

There was a little period however where bowlers were doing very well, and the scores were lower. This game is going through another batting dominant phase, bowlers will soon catch up. :)

Has been my complaints with both the 50 over game and especially T20 Q ever since these have been introduced with dice loaded against bowlers with the rules.  At least the 50 over game now allows a bouncer an over.
Just also highlighting how umpires call wides to legitimate deliveries because of batsmens movements as well.
