You would think the Thunder would know you never bowl a spinner in the last 2 overs.

Some seriously harsh wide calls, its not baseball you don't have to chuck in the batters hitting arc especially with edges going for six these days, give something to the bowler.

Yep, just like life!

Don't get too far ahead of yourself, and don't get too down in the dumps. Keep turning up!

Nathan McSweeney playing for BH

No respite from Jasparit Bumrah to possibly having to face Lloyd Pope

Overton needed to sacrifice himself there
Matty Wade is a star and deserves more respect from the forum family!

Maybe they should ask the Geelong Cats the masters of the clash jumper for some help...

This McSweeny goes all right…

Shows the difference between a BBL attack and international cricket
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Last ball win to AS
McSweeney 78 not out 49 balls
SR 159-18

McSweeney facing Pope
1 x 1 1 1 x
SR 66.66

Pope 2/17 [3]
Not bowling a 4th over ends up costly for the AS
ECO 5.67

Smart innings by McSweeney
See off Pope and attack the other bowlers
Great to see him make runs again

A good last over from Scott and 19th over from Overton, Thorntons last two overs bowling every ball to McSweeney that proved costly.

And also, the difference in formats.

Still, I agree with you, McSweeney goes alright and displays the temperament that should see him do well at all levels and formats, including as an opener, if need be, in Test cricket.

Agree. Absolutely nothing wrong with the attitude McSweeney has shown at test level.

Just needs to the confidence to play a few shots and get himself of strike. Much harder to get out when you're at the non strikers end.

Yeah, I’ve mentioned that before but got howled down. :lol: … plus they’ve got their names on their backs, so easy enough to work out, for example McSweeney is the Redbacks Capt, so he’s with the Strikers … oh, hang on … #-o
Dunno, I’m just an idiot.
