Carters couldn't hit the skin off a custard. Incredibly weak striker of the ball. Can only hit high risk ramp/reverse sweep shots for singles.

Lol Carters tapping it to get Bollinger on strike. Take some ownership you pussy and hit the ball. There is 8 deliveries left in the innings ffs

Yep Carters is a horrendous T20 player. One swing in a 40 ball innings and skies it. Sixers are the new Thunder.

Sixers recruitment is incredibly poor. They've assembled an absolutely woeful side when they are probably so many good players out there available and unsigned.

To be fair, ten days ago they'd have been expecting Haddin, Henriques and O'Keefe to be in this XI.

Their batting was thin last season, and now with Haddin and Henriques on the sidelines it is badly exposed. When Botha (a bowler who can bat a bit) is coming in at 5 it says a lot. That said, I will never know why they thought Botha would be worth bringing in as an international. Surely a specialist batsman would have been a better call.

Botha is a proven all-round player in T20. I think he's fine at 7. He played plenty of decent knocks for the Strikers in his time there.

Haddin and Henriques are proper T20 batsmen. Put them in the top 6 and they look significantly better.

Haddin I'll pay, but with Henriques it's another example of what I said. You need quality specialist batsmen, whilst Henriques is a good T20 all rounder he doesn't make up for where they are lacking.

Agree with freddy. All the air time for that bloke just encourages him to be more of a wanker

Mate of mine filled me in when I got home that Freddy was getting stuck into the idiot covered in orange at the WACA?

The one positive is Mark Waugh goes home crying after Abbott does nothing...AGAIN!

So wish he was commentating on NYE. Would have been glorious tears.

Absolutely useless all-rounder Abbott.

I wish those different anchor men plus Ponting and Fleming would shut the f#@k up about AFL. Over 80 000 to watch two Melbourne BBL teams play each other. Melbourne's a weird place, 90 000 people to watch two suburbs play each other during AFL season.

It's tiresome but all so predictable.

Sixers batting has always been weak. However, chuck smiffy in there and they win the comp because he is goat.
