Okay seriously does Klinger wear a back brace or does he have a legitimate hunchback? I can't stop staring at it whenever he comes on screen.

He always wears some kind of back pack thing under his shirt, I thought it was something to do with his microphone

He's also pretty hunch-backed

 

[vic_orthdox]

Worall is a very talented bowler - moves it both ways at a slippery pace with variations in pace

nb having talent doesn't necessarily equate to being good

Latecomer on the scene; never really went through any underage stuff in Melbourne before playing one season of First Grade, and SA dangled a contract at him.

Don't bring that annoying hand punch into the Australian game Pietersen.

lmao now that's the definition of overconfidence

 

[Adders]

Brought tickets for tonight's final on a bit of a whim this morning.

If you'd have told me 3 years ago I'd miss a day of an England test match (potentially watching Ali Cook join the 10K club) to go watch a domestic T20 game between 2 teams I have absolutely no connection with..........I'd have given you a slap.

But meh, 12yo daughter has been nagging me to take her to a game and I guess there will be a handful in the G tonight??

Thunder looking good here, bois

 

[Spikey]

thunder have since lost 3 for like 5 ftr

 

[Spikey]

thunder are trying to run themselves to a loss

 

[Spikey]

man i hope the stars lose like the sixers just did

 

[Gnske]

Man the fielding in that last over was almost cliche levels of terrible.

 

[Spikey]

So Kallis returns for Dan's Kiwi, and I think Blizzard is in for McAndrew?

Thunder: Kallis, Khawaja, Watson, Hussey (c), Blizzard, Rohrer, Russell, Hartley (wk), McKay, Green, Ahmed

Very light on bowling. I guess Green's good performances in the last two games has given them confidence to go light on bowling? I'd be leaving Blizzard or Rohrer out for a bowler though. I don't like that balance

 

[Adders]

Not as big a crowd as i expected. Top teirs fairly empty, would have a guess at 55 -60k in atm.

 

[Gnske]

Classic Watson, delivering on the big stage as always.

 

[Stapel]

Classic Pietersen, delivering on the big stage as always.

I wasnt expecting much more. It's only 2 days since it was clear who was hosting it

I find Punter and Flem to be markedly better commentators than the channel nine guys.
