Strikers v Hurricanes Wed 28/12/11 @ Adelaide Oval

[Media Park]

The Ramp Shot is not a T20 shot, it was a Ryan Campbell special back in the day...
But Jeez Cooper and Borgas are giving the Strikers a silly chance here.

[the joker]

strikers done here. no chance.

tommy cooper and Borg will get it done

[dedja]

Alan Knott invented that shot 40 years ago ...

And Campbell freely admits he was trying to hit Berry, not score runs!

don't think so. too much left too late

[dedja]

woop, woop ... Implosion alert

[the joker]

The last 5 bowling overs cost the strikers the game

[wycbloods]

well bowled bryce enjoy retirement where you should have been left.

[the joker]

Tommy cooper should have batted at three before Crossy.
Cooper will probably lose his spot in the next game when doc Harris comes in

Should have chased it down still.
Blizzard got them off to a flyer but the move of Crosthwaite to 3 was a flop. Cooper batted too low.
Reckon they lost it in the batting between overs 4-10

Harris to come in for McGain.
Harris could bowl the 4 overs of tripe that McGain did.
Cooper has to stay surely

Bryce McGain out, any half reasonable spell in, and the Strikers win the game.

Goodbye Bryce.

[Johno6]

Haha. Been asked that few times. But nah
Won $1200 on some kung fu machine with a mate so $600 each
Then won $200 on black jack.

Won't ever happen again for me

My observations from last nights game

- The captaincy of Doherty in the field was very good. To leave Rana to bowl three of the last five was bold, but worked
- The Adelaide lineup with McGain as the only option for the fifth bowler was a gamble (that didnt pay off)
- Harris out was MASSIVE not just with the bat as he is a good sixth bowling option
- The catch to get Fergy was bloody good
- Botha is a good fielder and the way he varies his spped while bowling is impressive
- I couldnt believe the line up to get into the match (hundreds of people in line ten minutes prior to the game starting)
- The BIGGEST DOWN from the night (ever more than the loss) was the match ball being brought out to the captain by Guy Sebastian

Have heard that people were turned away last night because the public area was at full capacity.

Disappointing if true considering the members area was little more than half full.

Should have the full stadium open like they did with SANFL and the power game and allow members only to sit in the red seats and use the bar and dining room facilities.
