The Drew lbw decision is an absolute disgrace

Someone call me an ambulance I just fell off my armchair

just stay home and prepare for the tests as our tournament will be over by the then

Good post armchair!

Qld have 94 overs to bat according to my math assuming it was an half hour early start

104 over day
SA batted 8 overs
Changeover 2 overs

= 94 to bat

Correct me if I’m wrong, for the semis there is an extra 120 mins extra allocated for a result on the schedule day of the match, then a reserve day if required. A min of 20 overs each is required for a result.

If indeed it’s going piss down, then surely the only choice is to put the Saffers in first if we win the toss. The reserve day is just that. Only used if the actual day is a complete washout. The game can’t be played across the two days

I don't think that is true, the 19 WC Semi between India and NZ was played across two days.

Time to add Joel Paris to the players who feast on the Redbacks

He has very impressive FC stats 38 matches 148 wickets @ 20.68

ARMCHAIR DOES IT AGAIN

**** A LEGEND I AM

Those charity overs to Zampa are going to cost us

Smith to 3

Marsh to 4

Marnus to 5


Stoinis/Green is no upgrade on Marnus as Pat wont bowl them anyway.

With a healthy strike rate of 48!

Strike rate was irrelevant last night he just had to stay out there

Anyone know why Nathan Lyon isn't playing in NSW's Shield match against Tasmania?

(He played in their previous two matches v Victoria and WA so is presumably back to fitness.) I saw on Instagram that he was in Perth seeing Coldplay on Saturday and apparently his wife has recently had a baby. https://thewest.com.au/news/wa/nathan-lyon-and-wife-emma-touched-down-in-perth-on-friday-with-their-new-baby-c-12597805

Also his birthday today!

McSweeney takes a great return catch but has badly done his ankle by the looks of it

Smart business by Adelaide

Rashid Khan out of the BBL with a back injury
Thank f*** for that.

Will kill the crowds, only person people wanted to go watch :shock:
Kids will wanna go regardless, if we’re winning then numbers will be good.

I love the guy but it pisses me off that he soaks up so much of the cap and then takes off just before finals.

I’d rather a player that has 70% of his ability but can play 100% of the games.

Will be interesting to see if he plays in the South African IPL

Amazon Prime has purchased the rights to all ICC comps until 2027.
No FTA coverage of the T20 WC, 2027 ODI WC and several other comps for men and women.
Will need a Prime subscription to watch them in Australia

This is a very bad thing in my opinion, you want to grow your sport you don't put it behind a paywall

See Australian ODIs and the BBL for what happens when you block out a large chunk of your potential audience.

Totally agree with him, absolutely no point in playing Warner at all.

100%

Who are you playing instead?

Bancroft, Renshaw or Harris?

Spinners operating from both ends after 5 overs

Very generous calling Santner a "spinner"

kiwi Agar

Another game in doubt in the last over of 20/20 cricket
They say no one remembers the close BBL games , but people do remember last over finishes in Test cricket
The answer - there's so many of them in 20/20 cricket !!!

Good commentators
Great cricket
BIG crowd
Booney and REB should join the revolution

From tonight's game :
McGuirk is the next Glenn Maxwell
Sutherland is the next Shane Watson
Jordan Silk IS Jonty Rhodes

He was fantastic in the field tonight

Toyota logo is way too big

Longer they bat the higher the chance of the game making it to Sunday


edit. all out now anyway.

Ridiculous for a bloke not that great at t20

Save our trees

8 off the last over needed

Hose squirting everywhere

You can take the boy out of the Redbacks but you cant take the Redbacks out of the boy.

SLIDE YOUR BAT YOU IDIOT

20% off PRINTER INK

JRichardson Morris and Behrendorrff doing everything they can to keep the spud from bowling ;) Haha! Your mate ended up with some economical figures, the Perth quicks were unreal up front having Hobart 5/47 before Chris Jordan made 59 from 20 got Hobart to a respectable and defendable 8/172.

Hardie and Crawley doing everything they can to keep the spud from batting haha

Smashing win

An SA team making Jackson Bird look like prime Glenn Mcgrath....some things never change

Agar can not bowl in the last over, ever.

Everyone knows I'm not a Nielsen fan so I wont comment

Weatherald out for Kann hopefully happens next match

Aus play 3 T20s against West Indies in Feb

I want to see JFM in those matches

Was always going to happen when you have the Mumbai Indians Cape Town franchise in your league.

David Warners backpack containing his baggy green caps had gone missing, the drama continues


FWIW I actually don’t mind him.

I cant stand him but he doesnt deserve that. Hopefully gets them back so he can enjoy his last test and then ride off into th sunset.......until he's on our airways yuck.

Abdullah Shafique apparently offered to help search for the thieves but the Aussies knocked him back because they know he won't catch anyone ;)
