*Official* Big Bash League 12 - 2022/23

It's just astonishing to think that Steve Smith hasn't got a contract for the IPL this year.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Smith has been ordinary in the actual IPL lately so not a huge surprise.
He really needs to open in T20s too and that's a popular position

Valiant effort by Tim David last night. Unfortunate that his teammates are useless.

Should have watched the game. He bullied the finger spinner bowling pies then failed against a real bowler when the game was there to win

 

[ashley bach]

Consecutive tons for Smith is a fantastic achievement, he's just monstering every bowler.

Edit There's the biggest of the night, his 9th six.

Now he knocks over Moises at the non strikers end.

Needed 18 off the last over. Only done once by an Australian.

He does have friends btw

 

[anil1405]

Looking at his luck today, it will be a miracle if Moises leaves the ground without an injury.

 

[ashley bach]

Certainly one of the best BBL innings ever, can't see the Chunder getting anywhere near this target.

 

[Starfighter]

He's found his hands again

He's using the runs stockpile he should be saving for India.

 

[Gob]

Like the look of Steve Smith

Dunno if his technique would hold up in tests but great hand and eye

Like the look of him too, reckon he does have some potential, and you never know if he can change his technique he could well go okay in tests.

Reckon the big bash has finally come back into its own element. Plenty of people going or watching that aren’t necessary normal fans

 

[Burgey]

Thunder batting been so bad this year.

Smith’s knock was low key genius on that pitch. Playing a different game

 

[TheJediBrah]

Joel Davies is only getting a game here because of his brother right

Nah he ****ing smashed it in the grade version of this. Fair pick.

 

[morgieb]

Smith 125*
Thunder 62

ouch

Yeah definitely seems to have a real buzz about it this year that it didn't in the last few seasons

 

[Nintendo]

I don't know if this is complete bullshit but I feel like smith's hunger for runs has come back recently? Recall him being livid with himself after getting out vs SA after his 100 and in the bbl after his 100, and looked absolutely livid with himself that he didn't get more than a single on the last ball of the sixers last game despite already being 125 from 66*. Don't remember him looking that filthy for every single run missed a year or two years ago after the 2019 ashes.

 

[Starfighter]

That is shocking wicketkeeping from Clarke.

 

[Starfighter]

Not only was that a poor run, Renshaw didn't attempt to dive or even stretch to get there.

 

[Starfighter]

That's a tremendous comeback from Brisbane after being in fairly deep trouble. Don't see partnerships of 133 too often in this format.

Nice to see Pierson step up when it matters.
