**Official** Big Bash 2015/16

[The Battlers Prince]

Straight over leg stump - wide

Straight over leg stump - wide

The other wide, called for height, was actually shoulder height......

 

[Spikey]

loving the idea of Warne going into the Jungle to escape from his Charity being investigated

 

[Stapel]

Consuming 24 balls at a run-a-ball is a good way to lose a T20, imho.

 

[Gnske]

All the hard work by cricket's Hercules is being undone by the the rest of the bowlers.

 

[dermo]

I wasnt expecting much more. It's only 2 days since it was clear who was hosting it

think it backs up that people love the big bash for entertainment as opposed to being seriously invested in the outcome of the competition

 

[Spikey]

mckay's last 4 overs have gone for like 50

 

[Spikey]

So Kallis returns for Dan's Kiwi, and I think Blizzard is in for McAndrew?

Thunder: Kallis, Khawaja, Watson, Hussey (c), Blizzard, Rohrer, Russell, Hartley (wk), McKay, Green, Ahmed

Very light on bowling. I guess Green's good performances in the last two games has given them confidence to go light on bowling? I'd be leaving Blizzard or Rohrer out for a bowler though. I don't like that balance

so this didnt work

 

[Spark]

a magnificent 2

 

[Spark]

why mckay ffs

 

[Spikey]

they kept it under 50 in the last 5 overs, but it's probably 20 too much. Half expecting 3 wickets in the PP.

 

[burr]

God, the standard of commentary drops exponentially when Ponting leaves the box.

 

[Spikey]

Gun catch by Green it must be said

 

[Spark]

am i nuts or was there a sound there

 

[Spikey]

feel like in the two tons Usman scored, he got a lot of strike in the PP. Thunder need the same now imo

 

[Gob]

Who is this hack stealing the strike from Tonsman

 

[Spark]

It is actually kind of scary how well he's batting right now

 

[Spikey]

when this stand ends, i hope they dont do something silly and move blizzard up or something

 

[Compton]

What's the umpire thinking there? Can only assume he was worried about pitching outside.

That's what I thought live. It was just half inside half outside. Fair enough.
