*Official* Big Bash League 14 - 2024/25

[Spark]

on the flip-side, did they even bring the field up to stop the singles Maxwell is taking?

They didn't! Comms wondered if they should

 

[Spikey]

if these got called no-ball too I would probably die of joy

THIGH HIGH NO-BALLS 2025

 

[trundler]

Two howlers in a row. Those balls were closer shoulder height than waist height. Terrible.

 

[Burgey]

What an absolute masterclass in match awareness and strike management this is. How does someone capable of this do so many other brain dead things?

 

[Spikey]

that one was two off the bat given it would have taken a dive to stop that. maxy got that one wrong

 

[Spikey]

They didn't! Comms wondered if they should

it's the other side of selfish thinking. Not willing to risk a boundary to get maxy off strike because it's not the normal tactic

 

[TheJediBrah]

Um, is Maxy having a psychotic break

 

[halba]

Um, is Maxy having a psychotic break

Similar to the AFG CWC match? 201*

Comms saying how if they ran 2/3rds of the way down then went back it would be a single but wouldn't that be considered one short?

 

[Starfighter]

Sutherland was lucky Maxwell didn't get eight deliveries to try hit him for six. My goodness that was a junk over.

 

[Spikey]

5 in the circle! good work sutherland

 

[TheJediBrah]

Wtf is Usama doing there lol

 

[Spark]

what on earth

Comms saying how if they ran 2/3rds of the way down then went back it would be a single but wouldn't that be considered one short?

I think there's something in the rules about deliberate one shorts too, etc.

 

[Spark]

Holy **** how's he managed to do that

 

[Spark]

I think there's something in the rules about deliberate one shorts too, etc.

Yeah I dunno why I didn't add it but I meant to say deliberate one short, i.e. 5 penalty runs

 

[TheJediBrah]

Comms saying how if they ran 2/3rds of the way down then went back it would be a single but wouldn't that be considered one short?

yes, one short of 2, which is 1

But someone tried that a year or 2 ago from memory and didn't get given any runs, ump didn't like it probably because it was clearly deliberate

 

[halba]

Sutherland has been *** too many injuries. no longer a prospect for Aus.

 

[ajdude]

this is the pinnacle of not reading the room by usama mir

 

[trundler]

Mir can bosh sixes. Don't know why he isn't trusting his game here.
