Learn how to play spin you churl

 

[Starfighter]

That's a ludicrous catch.

This Heat is surely the RCB of BBL, aren't they?

Absolutely.

 

[Starfighter]

There's something about Ponting when he goes into absent-minded prognostication mode.

 

[Spikey]

wait lol did the heat seriously drop lalor

 

[stephen]

The Heat are seriously embarrassing this season. De Villiers has been entirely terrible since he arrived. We'd have been better off keeping that pommy bloke, who was actually good.

Lynn just needs to lose the captaincy. He's a mercenary and the Heat players are all playing as such. What a disappointing team.

 

[NUFAN]

It was quite cute of Marnus to hit a catch to his best mate.

 

[NUFAN]

Btw is Peter Siddle the best 20th over bowler in BBL history?

Just did some number crunching and all signs point to an empahtic yes.

 

[Crazy Sam]

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

IIRC that was mostly on the back of Pomersbach randomly being on god mode for a few weeks

yeah i think they finished fourth then beat the renegades at etihad (pomersbach ton), i can’t remember the final. i’m guessing it was against perth cause they’ve been in like every final ffs

 

[NUFAN]

Former Australian T20I star Luke Pomersbach.

Sabburg the specialist fielder.

I think Hauritz was decent quality and the 4 right arm quicks all offered something a little different. That Heat team certainly played more like a team.

 

[Crazy Sam]

Lynn also bowled that season as an extra slow bowler in the side - hence they were able to carry the specialist fielder at number 8.

 

[stephen]

I'm a bit sad that the pom basher never really came good/ suffered from drinking problems. He had a lot of talent.

But the correct answer is Chris Hartley. Queensland cricket in freefall since his retirement.

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah true true.

Ive said it a few times but I really like Mac Wright.

He doesnt quite make best XI who hasnt played for Australia, but he is one of the XI most likely IMO.

 

[NUFAN]

Like I think Wright is going to play for Australia in 100 matches (across formats).

 

[Spikey]

I just assumed Gilkes was injured but they're speaking like he's been dropped...? if he has that's insane. i don't care how disappointing he's been, you don't pick Jay Lenton

 

[Starfighter]

Pretty decent figures there from Short.

 

[Gnske]

A D'isaster of a batting performance.
