BBL 2021-22 (Mens and Womens)

[Fangs]

Wade and McDermott. Stage is set.

Lets go boys.

 

[Tweed Titan]

Maxwell might have the most runs in an innings with 154 but is still equal last in BBL titles won with 0.

 

[Tweed Titan]

Typical Stards, they look like the shit when there's no pressure but choke as soon as the stakes rise.

Wade and McDermott. Stage is set.

Lets go boys.

At least they know there is only one tactic from here. Try to bash the shit out of every bowler in every over.

Has Maxwell ever played well in a match of great consequence? He can be a great bully against low ranked teams or have great innings during a season.....but has he ever had a blinder in a crucial match?

Few and far between.

In 2020 the 3rd ODI against England at Manchester. Australia were 5/90 chasing 300 and maxy got a century to win the series.

He did fire in the 2015 WC as well but post that been an inconsistent big show.

 

[Fangs]

Enter the real X-factor.

 

[mozza91]

Stars about 10-15 short I reckon.

 

[TheParraboy]

Cam someone tell these two twits it’s not a 50 over match

 

[Wizardman]

They have well and truly conceded this game....batting practice.

I think they conceded the game in the first innings.

 

[Wizardman]

Kind of a forfeit game from the first ball. They have been that bad that you can write off this performance due to them basically resting themselves mentally for Friday.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Big Show should be proud of that effort, akin to Jack Wighton scoring 7 tries in the last round of the comp and the raiders finishing 11th.

 

[King-Gutho94]

So another year done for the stars. No trophies yet for them 11 seasons in. Just a few chokes. I wish them all the success when reviewing another lost sesson.

Always nice seeing them bumble and fumble back end of the year, whether in the finals or missing out totally

But to be fair, they probably got hit with covid the worst, Had to field terrible teams for 3-4 games , lost them all. They did beat Thunder twice when both sides had mostly their full strength squads to choose from. And Thunder finished a whisker (0.303 NRR) away from 2nd spot

Yeah they got screwed by covid.

But i think its good for a major sporting competition to have that one team to be cursed. Makes it interesting especially for the neutrals. Melbourne Stars are the perfect villians really they had Warnie, KP, Eddie McGuire was on the board for a time as well.

It almost makes it more exciting every season on waiting to ser how the stars will botch it this time.

If they eventually win a title the comp loses that storyline in a way.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

The program with the Stars is they're all show and no go, they pick players with style over substance and they they've always presented themselves as a glamour team when they've achieved nothing.

 

[mozza91]

I personally think the ladder should be ignored and the Stars given a Finals berth. It’s what Howie wants.

Yeah listening to the commentary was disgusting last night. How dare the competition not allow the Stards to play in the finals regardless of their position on the ladder.

He has a podcast.

 

[mozza91]

He has a podcast.

I assume he’s also obnoxious, loud in public and has a simple redheaded son named Ollie. Just like every other Victorian male aged 30 to 50.
