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

Fawad's fielding will go against him at national level.
Pity tho' he is a good bowler

i mean, they just picked lynn for the odi team

They want the Big Show without having to pick the Big Show,

Lynn's the only other player in Australia that could match Maxwell

This capitulation is pitiful.

Maybe we need some #bertmentum for the thunder (am I doing it right Burgey?)

Rohrer showing these kids how it's done. #getoffhislawn

#Bertmentum is in the Sixers youth squad iirc.

 

[stephen]

Well with the Sydney sides performing the way they are you might see him picked soon.

Nice cameo by Rohrer but it was too little too late. Patterson wasted way too many balls.

 

[Spikey]

Jos playing out a maiden to Peter Siddle lost them the game

 

[vic_orthdox]

I feel really bad for him because the entire usefulness of his bowling is based around his chucking. If he's forced to change it (which he will be if people start paying attention) he's going to struggle to stay useful.

His best hope is to do a Steve Smith and become a specialist batsman. Don't blame him for making the most of not being banned from bowling yet though.

I'm sure he's spent some time up at the Academy. Surely they'd be testing him up there.

 

[Firebreaker]

How's D'Arcy Short not in Australia's T20 squad when failures like Cartwright are opening

 

[TheJediBrah]

I've had the protractor out every Thunder game and the news isn't good

 

[Burgey]

Dermo Abbott with good numbers not bowling at the death.

Why is Daniel Hughes?

 

[TheJediBrah]

Daniel Hughes is basically another KPat. Clearly not a T20 player yet is inexplicably having a top order spot wasted on him.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Predictable stinker from Daniel Hughes. The worst part of these innings aren't just the pure ****ty nature of the score (33 off 35 balls) but what goes on at the other end, building the pressure. The rest of the team, valuable players, throw their wickets away to try and make up for the ****ty batsman's ****ty scoring.

If you must pick these longer-form players in the Big Bash, at least do what Thunder do with Gibson and bat them at 7 so they don't bat unless you're already ****ed

 

[Spikey]

so young Big Ben is on strike, plays and misses and Billings runs and almost gets out...and then they run on an overthrow so young Big Ben stays on strike. young Big Ben gets one off the next two. for heaven's sake

 

[Spikey]

and then billings tries to do a switch hit. what on earth. dan christian is bowling. don't make this complicated. stay on strike and smack. ****ing english ****s

 

[TheJediBrah]

lol Punter getting worked up but he's spot on. That was idiotic bowling last over.

 

[Spikey]

the people who play this game are far too **** for this to be scripted

 

[Burgey]

Why didn’t Abbott bat ahead of new ball sensation?

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Surely Abbott's batting has well and truly entered myth territory by now

 

[Spikey]

oh my god Ingliss
