It may actually be the most BBL interaction ever

 

[mr_mister]

Lmao

Dunk is in a funk. Not even trying to hit a boundary. Coward

 

[_Ed_]

Stars might want to lift the run rate just a tad.

EDIT: Hurricanes lending a helping hand with a five.

 

[Spikey]

well it's the Big Show and also Nick Larkin

 

[mr_mister]

Pretty putrid start. Short will show what a powerplay is meant to be

 

[TheJediBrah]

There's a real problem with the BBL player lists when guys like Dunk and Dean are getting games as openers for one team, and guys like Renshaw & Labuschagne are sitting out for theirs

Hastings defending Trent Woodhill and his bizarre Luke Wright obsession now

I don't understand the logic of not going hard when there's no fielders on the rope. Dunk and Dean are selfish players honestly

Dunk fair enough, but I'm not sure Travis Dean even has much of a power game tbh

no they just suck

 

[TheJediBrah]

Larkin has hit some serious form though, last few weeks

He's turned from a perpetual waste of a spot into a contributing state cricketer overnight

 

[mr_mister]

They suck but you could also see they werent willing to take a risk

 

[mr_mister]

Maxi playing like this with two fielders on the rope would be insane. Should open

He definitely should. When he's opened for Australia he's been brutally effective, but then they just move him back down the order next game. Presumably it's because there are always other guys who need to open because they can't play in the middle order, whereas Maxwell can do both pretty well, so even if Maxwell would be the best opening option, someone else gets the gig.

Bravo stay awful

Interesting take. Im not sure of his international opening record but I'll take your word for it. Dean and Dunk should have absolutely been willing to sacrifice their wicket with such a powerful middle order. So annoying how many prime overs they chewed up

 

[Gnske]

Can I just say I was on Team Larkin from the start

 

[mr_mister]

I've literally never liked Bravo. Would have rather seen Sammy come out here
