**Official** Big Bash League 2013/14

[Spikey]

yeah not a surprise. if given a choice, you would never ever ever bat first in a superover

 

[Ausage]

Stop calling him a genius. He bowled 3 rank full tosses and the batsmen fell over themselves.

 

[Riggins]

did they get a choice?

 

[Spikey]

did they get a choice?

nope. team that bats second goes first. they really should be a choice though. captain who won the toss should get to pick again (so the sixers still would have batted first).

you could also go with the boundary tiebreaker, if you don't want to give the a 50/50 coin toss too much power

 

[Riggins]

i thought that you'd let whoever lost the original toss choose, balance the original chance element somewhat.

 

[Riggins]

Gotta have a short leg here, even if it's just for the run out off a quick single.

 

[Spikey]

get a deep short leg in, for the drop and run/leg bye

 

[Spikey]

reminder that dan smith missed a run out that got perth a run last ball of their innings

..

 

[Burgey]

Laughable end to a great game

 

[Jono]

Second game Arafat has won it for the Scorchers ftr.

 

[Burgey]

He nearly lost it for them twice in the field.

Expecting a Pakistani not even good enough to play for his international team to field is asking a bit much.

 

[Nate]

Super Overs are dumb (for regular fixture matches).

Super Overs are dumb (for regular fixture matches).

Yeah, couldn't agree more. I've got no issue with it being used as a tiebreaker in a knockout match, but there's no reason we can't just cop a tie in a league game.

It kind of sums T20 cricket in general though; not so much as a format of cricket but in how it's delivered to the fans at all levels.

To be fair he arguably is good enough to play for his international team in T20 cricket; they just don't pick him.

 

[Prince EWS]

Turner is Cribb's boi, isn't he?

Yes FTR.

 

[benchmark00]

Thought Maxwell was your boi.

 

[Prince EWS]

Thought Maxwell was your boi.

I definitely like Maxwell more than the average CW member so I'm happy enough to wear it, but he probably wouldn't make a list of my 50 favourite current cricketers; Turner would make the top five.

 

[benchmark00]

Cribbs boi Maxwell.
