Big Bash League 2011/12

[aussies1st]

Don't think it's worth having the review for domestic T20, not having hot spot and the nature of the game just doesn't suit it.

 

[MSIH]

Hmmm. Based on the two conflicting responses I have just received it sounds like it shouldn't have been reversed. It's a bummer because 90% of the crowd just want to see Gayle.

The fact they looked at the replay about 5 times shows there was obviously some doubt.

Hogg continues to look impressive.

All the evidence pointed to him PROBABLY being out. Wasn't definite, so you have to wonder why have a referral system that isn't definite? The inconsistency is also a major concern.

Hogg continues to look impressive.

...in the field as well.

 

[The Gambler]

Sydney Thunder are TERRIBLE! I am converting to the 6ers!

 

[Horrie Is God]

Thunder going at less than 5 an over in a 20/20 game..

This years Big Bash is showing that you can't load up on 2 big names,& pad out your squad with rubbish..

Like most sports..

The Scorchers are the form side ATM..Gibbs has been a revelation & Coulter Nile has been super impressive..

They should win this competition, they didn't really bring in any superstars, but they've got a solid XI and no hacks in their team. Compare them to the thunder who brought in a few stars (Warner, Gayle) and have to rely on hacks in they fail. They have some good T20 players mixed in with experienced cricketers and overall seem to have the right balance. The only team I can see knocking them off is the Sixers if their batting clicks on the right night.

Scorchers batting ain't that flash once you get past the openers. Gibbs stepping up has really helped and likewise North. Outside of that there hasn't been anything.

that's what i didn't understand

if he was so sure why did the decision take him 2 minutes?

still a crap 1 man team in regards to their batting

Marsh, Collingwood and Katich are all handy batsmen, none of them have really been called on to have a big innings yet as North and Gibbs are going so well. I suppose we'll know a little more after tonight when we see how they go without Gibbs.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

How come Bravo went back for the Caribbean T20 and not Gayle?

A spot in the champions league is up for grabs there as well.

They have actually - http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/engine/match/524918.html http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/engine/match/524930.html

Collingwood is average in T20 cricket, Katich is better but he has failed in 3 out of 4 digs.

 

[El Diablo]

you obviously haven't been watching the game

bit like when the Storm play

 

[MSIH]

Another reason to dislike the Thunder. First Robbie Farah, now Dick Ennis.

 

[Horrie Is God]

Surely Hoggy is the first spinner picked when they choose the 20/20 World Cup squad..

Age is only a number..

 

[aussies1st]

Coyte actually bowling batsmen, boy he's come a long way since last year.

 

[gUt]

Yep he's pretty solid.

 

[the_flight_of_the_magpie]

dan smith is a useless merkin dead set for a capt he is very uninspiring

 

[cleary89]

Lol @ all the merkins who picked thunder over sixers.

Hobart could win it, but imo Perth huge favourites. Sixers have a chance and Stars do if White learns how to bat.
