*Official* Big Bash League 14 - 2024/25

Not sure that decision to open with Bethell paid off.

 

[Prince EWS]

Jeez that’s some arm on Mitch Owen

Yeah I thought it'd be tight but probably okay when he picked it up but that was out by a body length at least

Yeah almost baseball level stuff on that run out. Impressive

Thunder bowling scouts will be jotting down the name.

 

[Gnske]

I see Jewell grew up watching Ash Chandrasinghe

 

[Spikey]

tbh I didn't realise Jake was still only 22. he got out of victoria quick

someone like aaron hardie should consider the benefits of moving states instead of prolonging something

 

[Starfighter]

That's a disastrous runout.

What's this meme of yours about Hardie moving states?

IMO if Green is in the international sides Hardie should be ahead of Marsh in the WA XI, though not like that would actually happen. But his real problem is he can't play FC cricket for anyone atm because he keeps getting picked for ODIs.

 

[Starfighter]

Is Callum Stow the next Hamish McKenzie?

He just wants to recruit him to the NSW Shield side lol.

 

[Spikey]

He just wants to recruit him to the NSW Shield side lol.

I just don't want to see someone waste their talent under the current dysfunctional west australia cricket association

 

[Starfighter]

He just wants to recruit him to the NSW Shield side lol.

So they can drop a specialist batsman?

At the rate things are going Edwards is gonna end up with a better FC career, simply because he's playing and Hardie isn't.

 

[Prince EWS]

I'd much rather him play as a bat than Gilkes or Nikitaras tbh.

But yeah he'd barely be available anyway at this point.

don't forget a better international career

It confuses me how Gilkes gets gigs (both in the Shield and BBL) as a specialist batsman when he's not good enough with the bat to be in the team as a keeper.

Hardie's a 4 or 5, so he wouldn't solve NSW's real problem which is lack of openers. They've just found a potentially good one but he's already been whisked into the test side to solve their similar problem. It's a wheel that's gonna revolve for a while yet.

Hobart are throwing this away.

 

[_Ed_]

Doran has a dreadful T20 record. Not many games, but still.

Gilkes batted 4 in our last game.

 

[Spikey]

jake doran is celebrating 10 years since his first bbl game by playing in his 10th bbl game. i hope he makes 10.

 

[Starfighter]

i hope he makes 10.

I've got bad news for you...

 

[Burgey]

Gilkes batted 4 in our last game.

Yeah, I mean that’s a massive problem

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah, I mean that’s a massive problem

Can you put in some calls to Tim Ward?
