[Brucetiki]

Hobart 4/198

Brisbane win their first game

[Jim05]

Good win for the Heat

[Jim05]

Birt was unreal.
Posted last year that I wish SA had a crack at him when he quit Tassie

[mal]

Game of the tournament, provided by the top and bottom teams
BH 4/201 [20]
ROBINSON 44[28] great player of spin
HAYDEN 76 [51] keeps getting better
VAN DER MERWE 24 [19]
FORREST 33* [18] yes
NAVED 1/42 [4]

Quite amazing what this team can do when they bat with intent
Playing a shot a ball cricket got them to a mammoth total

HH 4/198
WELLS 24 [18] just does enough
JAQUES 27 [22] not bad
BOOM BOOM BASHER BIRT 74 *[36] at the risk of repeating myself what a star at this format
SHAH 69 [44] brilliant batsman

This was an almighty run chase
With 2 balls to go the score was 4/198
2 to draw
3 to win
I had thought Birt and Shah hadem by the arks
Birt was run out, Shah caught at long on last ball

BIRT
When he slogs he reminds me so much of Rodney Marsh
Strikes at almost 140 in Domestic 20/20s


In the end bottom BH [0-4] beat top HH [4-0]

MY VOTES
3 BIRT
2 HAYDEN
1 SHAH

Shah had 2 opportunities to win the game in the last 2 balls, if he did hit the winning runs, he would have got 2 votes

Melbourne derby tonight

Stars 2/44

Cameron white given out caught behind after umpire Fry initially gave it not out before referring it to the third umpire.

Still looked as though it hit nothing, again is it full on referrals or just umps, games becoming comical

Didn't even think it was being referred until Fry changed the call

[Brucetiki]

Make that 3/44

[RustyCage]

Tait almost had his head taken off!

[dedja]

Then bowls the ball to 3rd slip.

Has absolutely NFI where he's bowling it ... couldn't hit a barn if he tried.

Will probably go to hospital after bowling such a long spell.

Nice take that one by Choco

5/167, Wade smacked them at the end

[RustyCage]

Warnie gets a wicket in his first over

[mal]

STARS 5/167[20]
WRIGHT 25 [15] dunno how he scores so quick, but he does
HUSSEY 51[42] sensational 20/20 player
WADE 32 *[15] dynamic finisher this guy
AFRIDI 2/20[4] gun bowler

RENEGADES 3/58[8.1]
WARNE 1/4[1]
Rain stopped play
Should have been abandoned but they have resulted this game after 8.1 overs
What a joke

JOKE OF A GAME
A: result in 8.1 overs
B :Game at one stage was reduced to a 19 over chase, and they make the powerplay 1 over less
c : A free hit, bowled by Tait in a comical over, was caught at deep long on, the batsman run 2 and the runs count, surely it should be 0 runs if its a defacto disMissAL

MY VOTES
3 WADE
2 HUSSEY
1 AFRIDI

1. 5 overs constitutes a match in T20. The umps had no reason to abandon the game as both sides had completed 5 overs.

2. A player can only be run out or stumped off a free hit. You can't be caught off a free hit (hence why it's a free hit).

[Brucetiki]

Second biggest domestic crowd of 40,227 for tonights game, on a night where rain was forecast. An outstanding crowd.

I wonder if they would have gotten 45,000 or even 50,000 had the forecast been for a fine night...

[Brucetiki]

Sydney derby tonight

6ers 0/10 (1.4)

Rain delay

[Jim05]

Ben Dunk is keeping without any gloves or pads to allow him to field outside circle.

[Jim05]

Sixers finish on 7/117
Reduced to 16 overs

[mal]

Fingers crossed Sydney Thunder get the 5 overs in to constitute a match ...
