BBL 2021-22 (Mens and Womens)

[Bazal]

Phillipe deserved a hundred, but that's domination

 

[Tweed Titan]

Sixers continue to own the Stards

 

[jargan83]

Fantastic knock from Phillipe

 

[Eelectrica]

Last BBL game until Sunday which is like, forever and ever away. Now I'm sad.

 

[Eelectrica]

But at least the drought breaker is the Mighty heat up against the Thunder in another epic showdown.
Keep the lights on for this one.

They're not captains, they're high octane bat flippers.

Who even are the captains this year.
According to Cricinfo the captains are:
Adelaide Strikers: Siddle... um yeah. OK

Brfsbane Heat: Jimmy Pierson, new to job. Not off to a great start though. Doesn't have much talent in the squad to work with but seems to be missing a few things as captain which isn't helping. Will know more at the end of the season. See how many good positions the screw up.

Hurricanes: Wadey. Leads from the front, master of chirp, tactical genius. What more is there to say.

Stars: Maxwell. Not sure how to rate Maxie. He's an enigma wrapped in a puzzle.

Renegades: Not Finch. Not even sure who their captain is. No captain is best captain?

Scorchers: Ashton Turner apparently. Being a captain is easy when Mitch Marsh gets going I guess and having a pretty good bowling attack helps. Don't need to do much other than follow the script and hope for the best.

Sixers: Henriques. Leads from the front, results speak for themselves. Missed a trick last night with Pope on the boundary, need people who can catch out there.

Thunder: Chris Green. Seems OK, don't know.

Best: Henriques and Renegades non captain.
Worst: Pierson and TBA some good choke jobs still to come for this spot to be filled.

Quite interesting Thunder v Heat game is on day 4 of the Adelaide d/n test (tomorrow evening)

Powers that be must think the test will go for 3 and a half days or so as a maximum, probably right

 

[TheParraboy]

Heat won the bat flip and decided to bowl

Brisbane Heat: Bryant, Lynn, Duckett, Heazlett, Abell, Peirson (capt, wk), Bazley, Bartlett, Steketee, Swepson, Mujeeb

Sydney Thunder: Hales, Gilkes, Jason Sangha, Billings (wk), Ross, Sams, Cutting, McAndrew, Green (capt), Mahmood, Tanveer Sangha

Heat 4/15

chasing 197

 

[TheParraboy]

5-15

 

[Wizardman]

Heat are f**king terrible. I hope they are not paying Chris Lynn stupid money because he purely does not give a f**k anymore.

 

[TheParraboy]

Thunder ended up winning by 53 runs..

Top 4 Thunder batsmen - 166 runs from 103 balls

Top 4 Heat batsmen - 13 runs from 14


715pm Scorchers v Wadey tonight

Hope test cricket is finished by then

 

[Eelectrica]

Heat are f**king terrible. I hope they are not paying Chris Lynn stupid money because he purely does not give a f**k anymore.

Yeah. The Heat will not get close to a title while Lynn is there. Not sure how long he has to run on his contract, but he's sucking up the big bucks and returning very little. Good for one or two half decent innings a season and that's it.

I generally think to get better at something you've got to spend time doing it. Lynn spending one or two balls out the middle isn't really improving his game.

 

[Eelectrica]

Looks like this is Lynn's last season

Chris Lynn signs five-year deal with Brisbane Heat

The Big Bash League's brightest star has become its highest paid player, with Chris Lynn signing a lucrative five-year deal with Brisbane Heat.

www.smh.com.au

Then he can sign up with Clive Rose's all stars. Would fit right in these days.

 

[TheParraboy]

Scorchers won flip and are batting

Wade is such a spud.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Marcus Stoinis in commentary or off to a nightclub, I'm not sure.
