2023-24 Big Bash League

Criminal how they’ve only let Murphy bowl 2 here (guessing he won’t bowl a death over)

 

[Burgey]

out of curiousity, with the 4 teams, how would you do it?

Yeah there’s reply no other way than the system they have if you want to give some benefit to the top two sides. Home ground in a domestic competition really doesn’t mean that much

Dunno mate haven't thought about it tbh

Give Murphy the final over Moises you coward

166 is going to be extremely difficult to chase down with this excellent Heat attack.

It’s a good score on this pitch, which isn’t as easy to bat on as Hayden Kerr made it look

Brown at it again, looks like that innings the other night has really made him.

Mum fist pumps as he brings up his 50 almost spilling her red wine in the process.

Is your mum a brisbanian?

Spencer Johnson's MO 95% of the time is literally just angling the ball across the right hander outside off at pace

Of course he's going to get pounded through the off side with the field up

This is why I'm not sold on him he's too easy to set up for by any decent batsman

You'd call Jack Edwards a decent batsman?

Cricinfo's prediction worm thingy has taken a few sharp turns already in this game.

No I didn't, you've made a leap there

I'm thinking more about proper international players. It's all well and good bashing hacks in T20 leagues but against Kohli, Rohit, Root, Williamson and even the guys a tier or 2 below them he'll get eaten alive

I just don't get why some people seem to think he should (at least initially) be a T20 specialist when it's clear his MO is better set up for red ball game.

Hard to believe Edwards ever did enough to be batting at 3 tbh

It's pretty crazy how long a rope he's been given on potential. I only watch BBL domestic wise so maybe he's decent in other formats but I swear I haven't seen him get over 30 in like 5 years of playing for the sixers

I can only assume it's to do with injuries and the suspiscion he won't get through too many red-call games? But you're right he's set up perfectly for hammering the line and length with a full cordon. Might even swing the red ball a bit?

Well yeah he's actually had a gun season so far and been one of NSWs best bowlers if you believe it

That's the end of a typical Phillippe innings.

That was a bit of a painful innings by Philippe.
