*Official* Big Bash League 12 - 2022/23

[Zinzan]

You’d think if he makes himself available that Smith just had to open for the Aus T20 side.

This is ****ing ridiculous.


All Because he has the ****s he wasn’t always picked for the WC

Tbf a couple of top innings at list A level doesn't make a summer, let's not pretend Smith's T20 batting at International and IPL level hasn't been underwhelming for quite a few years now.

 

[Spikey]

that should be a no-ball

 

[Burgey]

Hahahahahahaha chronically got the shits because you kicked a straight one for 66 in a meaningless domestic T20 ?????

 

[ashley bach]

Dooley with some absolute tripe picks up a wicket.

 

[_Ed_]

Smith aside, this hasn't been great from the Sixers.

 

[ashley bach]

6/66 since the opening stand, Sixes in danger of not batting out.

 

[Burgey]

Dooley gets him but Dwarshuis with some valuable runs there.

Dooley seems a genuinely unlikeable character tbh. Carries on like a jerk

Shame Tpc wasn't around to properly whack him

He's apparently a lawyer outside of cricket...makes sense.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah I heard he does corporate stuff. Stands to reason he’d be a clown

 

[ashley bach]

Mcdermott gets to double figures for the first time in 5 matches, a far cry from this time last year when he was scoring tons at will.

 

[ashley bach]

Abbott continues to pick them off, now equal top wicket taker with 3 overs up his sleeve.

 

[ashley bach]

123/5 @Flem274*

 

[TheJediBrah]

Pretty **** innings from Crawley. Killed any chances Hobart had of chasing this

 

[ashley bach]

Too much depth the Sixers, even when half their team falls over with the bat they have so many players to call on that can perform in both departments.
All rounders to burn with Abbott, Dwarshuis, Kerr, and Christian who all seem to chip in with some key role during the game.
Had nothing to play for tonight when the Hurricanes had everything to play for, and it's still an easy win coming up.

 

[ashley bach]

LOL Smith drops a dolly on the mid wicket boundary off the last ball of the match.

 

[ashley bach]

Nonetheless he gets rewarded with his 3rd consecutive man of the match.

 

[Nintendo]

Smith is unreal touch atm jeez. Looks a class above everyone on either side of the pitch every time he bats. Hopefully this doesn't end up like the last border Gavaskar where he wacked 2 60 ball tons in white ball beforehand then lost the plot for a few tests.

 

[Burgey]

I really would not let him play in the qualifying final in Perth if I'm an Aus selector. Last thing the national side needs a week out from a really tough tour is for its best player have a glove bagged and break a finger in a domestic T20 league non-KO final.

You think Steve Smith happily rides the pine in this sort of run-scoring mood, in search of a T20 national spot back, on the off chance he cops one in the glove? He'd have to be holding the bat through the middle of the sweet spot at the moment to cop a broken digit.
