***Official*** Big Bash League 2017/18

good to seevSomerville getting a game.

Where is Daniel Sams from ?

 

[NUFAN]

Strikers were juicy as slight outsiders before the game started.

Where is Daniel Sams from ?

Randwick-Petersham.

He went over to NZ at the start of the season to play a bit of First Class cricket there as an overseas player (hence the FC record, if that's why you're asking?) after missing out on a NSW contract and did really well; now he's back over to play the BBL.

 

[Midwinter]

nice work by Billings

Sixets playing SOK Somerville and Botha

 

[Spikey]

let's just note Sams having Carey plumb LBW and it not being given

 

[Prince EWS]

No overs for O'Keefe.

 

[Gnske]

You know, Carey wouldn't be the worst in LO formats given the choices.

 

[NUFAN]

That hit from Wells was awesome. Just as I was about to say junior boof not getting a hit felt a bit wrong.

 

[Prince EWS]

You know, Carey wouldn't be the worst in LO formats given the choices.

I think he's a bit like Paine was back in the day in that he'd probably have to open if you wanted him to be useful, but you'd not really want to waste the opening spot on the seventh best batsman in the side.

Love this 240p footage of Smith

Haha yeah that was strange.

They're still doing this absurdly low-res highlights thing, every day. I wonder what the go is.

I guess that's their way of showing the highlights without pinged by C9 for infringing on their rights, because C9 are ****s when it comes to the BBL.

Sad to see Billy Stanlake's played next to nothing since his Australian debut

 

[Gnske]

Has the Nine team even ever referred to the BBL let alone shown footage of it? Especially during the early season before t20is begin and some justification for who you're seeing play is required for regular folks.

 

[Spikey]

No overs for O'Keefe.

I want to say "well maybe they just had no batsman to pick because Moz and possibly Nevill were taken ill the day of the game" so they went in with 6 bowlers, but I know that's not the reason

 

[Spikey]

Giving 0 marks for Jono Wells on the mic

I didn't really mind the selection as such but the captaincy was **** -- O'Keefe should've had a bowl. It's pretty rare to see any teams only use five bowlers these days, let alone when the opposition scores 160+ and they've actually selected six proper bowlers.

 

[NUFAN]

Thats some grab from Carey. If Bothq bats ahead of SOK today..

I feel like the Sixers have done it a few times. Notably in the Travis Head game 2 seasons ago

 

[Daemon]

I don't think I've seen a keeper pick it up that late and still take the catch

Getting a baggy green ruined Maddinsons career
