I don't think Abbott has ever really been used as a death bowler for NSW or the Sixers prior to this season. Don't know why Mad Dog has made it a thing
i suppose it might be a coaching thing. dougeh's bowled two at the death most games I think. Seems like those two at the death was put up on the whiteboard before the BBL

I know it could be seen as selfish or weird or whatever, but I think Benny has to turn down that single and let Russell take strike.

He got a single first ball of the over anyway

there's literally nothing to like about this Sixers team.

Good luck chasing this down in 16 overs

Cowan opening, this is just crazy inflexible from the Sixers. I think he can go at 150 but surely you go with Rad or Mad Dog

Cowan? **** off Sixers.

Seriously what a joke of a team. Kick them out and bring in a Bangladesh Premier League team in here wouldn't do any worse. Opening Cowan is a pathetic thing to do on a Saturday night.

Yeah I still would've opened with Cowan if I was just trying to chase this score in 20 overs but given they need it in 16 it really needed to be Lumb and Maddinson IMO.

It reminds me of earlier this tournament when they needed 20 off 20 or whatever and instead of sending in Lawford to try to hit a bomb or two and seal it, they had Botha and Silk out there trying to knock around singles.

Like yeah, you've picked your batting line-up, but you can change the order to reflect the match situation

Botha can go hard too and the plan was clearly for him not to for some reason. It was more a situational analysis failing than a rigid batting order thing IMO, although it was probably a bit of both.

Sixers coming last and then Essendope guaranteed on coming last this year in the AFL. Going to be a tough year for Spikey.
