    *Official* Big Bash League 2019/20

    With how awful the Heat have been, it's fun to look back and wonder how they managed to win a BBL title with this lineup: L Pomersbach P Forrest J Burns D Christian C Lynn B Cutting C Hartley (c/wk) C Sabburg N Hauritz K Roach A McDermott

    *Official* Big Bash League 2019/20

    I think it also speaks to a broader issue in BBL at the moment, as there have been quite a number of dreadful collapses this season (even just this week). Very few teams seem to be able to cope with losing a couple of wickets and exposing their middle orders.

    After Lynn was out, the Heat still only needed a run a ball which the batters below should've been able to manage comfortably. What a pathetic effort all round.

    It's refreshing to see a Heat batsman who is actually capable of playing through the offside

    DRS stats for 2019 test matches

    Yeah they only had four successful reviews out of 28 attempts as the fielding team, the other 8 as the batting team.

    DRS stats for 2019 test matches

    It does reinforce just how poor Australia are with DRS (and yet still not the worst)

    DRS stats for 2019 test matches

    Cricinfo includes DRS decisions in the match notes at the bottom of their scorecards. Just copied them all to a spreadsheet and sorted from there.

    DRS stats for 2019 test matches

    Some DRS stats for 2019 tests based on Cricinfo scorecards. "Upheld" means the umpire's decision was overturned; "Umpires Call" means the review was struck down as no conclusive evidence to overturn (e.g. on LBW's). Umpire Struck down Umpires Call Upheld Total % Upheld RSA...

    4 Day Tests

    Yeah but there are several factors that aren't directly related to the length of the game - e.g. the bowlers are more restricted in where they can bowl to batsmen without giving wides, field restrictions, pitches are usually flatter, boundaries are further in. If we're just dropping from 5...

    4 Day Tests

    How often is this the case? In Australia the 5th days seem to often be gold coin entry and are small crowds regardless, so I'm sure this would be taken into account and they're not planning for large crowds regardless.

    Rather limp finish for australia

    *Official* Big Bash League 2019/20

    Heat lost the last time they scored 209 (their highest score)

    *Official* Big Bash League 2019/20

    Those fours of Renshaw's that pierced the gaps in the field were perhaps more impressive than most of the sixes hit tonight.

    Why can't we have nice things

    *Official* Big Bash League 2019/20

    Heazlett has looked like a number 9 batter in this innings. Terrible all round.

    *Official* Big Bash League 2019/20

    Surely against the Heat you should be bowling as much spin/slow stuff as possible given their dire record against it - particularly Lynn and Cutting.

    What's the deal with the Rugrats theme playing at the ground

    *Official* Big Bash League 2019/20

    This has been such a dumb innings from the Heat all round.

    *Official* Big Bash League 2019/20

    That is a pretty awful miss for a keeper.
