*Official* Big Bash League 2018-19

Even with reverse swing the seam should still be oriented to swing it the way it swings

Waqar Younis would be rather surprised to hear he was getting it wrong.

 

[Starfighter]

How the hell does that go for six?

 

[Burgey]

Fmd my man George Bailey still has it. Hobart are a stand out unit in this comp. Miles ahead of everyone.

 

[Burgey]

Sixers don;t get within 40 of this unless Vince goes ballistic.

 

[Starfighter]

I don't think I've complimented him on this before, but Meredith has a really nice angle on his runup.

It's good to see. Most quicks these days are all for the straight run-up these days.

Double-taked reading this comment. Thought you said "rump" and I was like "good for you starfighter"

 

[Starfighter]

Punter talking sense here, gotta vary the pace. Phillippe is flying and Vince ain't doing too bad either.

 

[TheJediBrah]

ftr I was baffled that Philippe wasn't opening from the sixers first match and posted about it here too IIRC

 

[Burgey]

How good is it not seeing Edwards stinking up the joint for the Sixers

 

[Starfighter]

Meredith still needs to develop some smarts as a bowler, his choice of bouncers has been poor. I'll be interested to see how he goes with the Dukes ball if he stays in the shield team. Been very expensive here though.

 

[Starfighter]

There's been some vintage Wadekeeping tonight. Been having a torrid time off the spinners.

 

[Burgey]

That lofted cover drive on the up by Philippe last over was pure class. As good as it gets. He’s miles better than either of the young spuds nsw picked this season. Kid can play

 

[Starfighter]

Needless to say, I was not expecting that.

He showed his class during the JLT opening for WA. He could have done anything this big bash if sixers had just opened him from the start instead of hacks like edwards and denly.

 

[Burgey]

Where does he bat for WA in FC cricket? He looks way better than any of the other young water pistols who've received all the hype this summer.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Botha retires suddenly. Good solid cricketer that bloke. Interesting timing of the decision though.

Opens in the shield too, hasn't been that great though. Was terrible last season but it seems as though somethings clicked for him. Still plays a few too many rash shots though.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Phillipe has been shunted up and down the order for WA, which is far from ideal. His one ton was scored in the middle order, prefer him there as he is still a little too loose to open against the red ball imo. Certainly a big talent though, it isn't hard to see where the Smith comparisons come from

T20 is supposed to be a quick, bite-sized game. But this tournament is going on forever...

Yeah looks so much like Smith it's uncanny. Even his face. Just needs to put away that loose shot he plays every second ball.
