BBL Game 17 Hobart Hurricanes v Melbourne Stars 1845hrs @ Bellerive Oval

[nobbyiscool]

Lucky they're only playing the Stars, against a real team the Hurricanes are 50 runs short.

 

[Hamingja]

Dooley is a number 11

Ellis is not a great bat but can slog a few. Should be batting ahead of Dooley.

I don't like the can't cross rule

I do. Gives something back to bowlers. Fantastic rule

 

[Fabab]

All out 155 ,should be an easy chase.

As someone who used to loathe travelling for work, I wonder if BJ thinks its preferable to sleep in his own bed, but to make a dill of himself on the commentary at least a few times a night because he can't see the whole field.

Who’s more overrated David or Stoinis

David by a long way IMO.

The most overpaid, overrated cricketer by a long way.

Let’s put it another way - they’re not in the Top 3 all rounders in WA

I don't like the can't cross rule

As a bowler, the new batter should always be on strike. Unfair that we get a ball good enough to get a wicket but the next ball is to the set batter.

All out 155 ,should be an easy chase.

This is the Stars you're talking about.

 

[NYRB]

The rain may save Hobart here.

 

[eddiesmith]

So we’ll go from an easy chase to needing 100 off 6 overs

A rain reduced matched tends to favour the team batting 2nd.

At least Stoinis has had his moments internationally and some good BBL seasons.

David on the other hand.
If he comes out with more than 4 overs to go, you can pretty much guarantee he will fail.

He's got a terrible technique.

Depends on the target, I’ve seen some ridiculous DLS targets and some easy ones

 

[eddiesmith]

Someone should point this out to the useless Tasmanian opposition and show exactly why they need a roof!!!

He’s got no technique - it always had me ****ed how he got so far - grounds in the IPL are so small - it’s unbelievable - good luck to him but

Resource Allocation for Duckworth Lewis Stern according to a thesis:

 

[eth-dog]

So counting down from 15:

15: 79.9% 124
14: 75.4% 117
13: 71% 110
12: 66.4% 103
11: 61.7% 96
10: 56.7% 88
9: 51.8% 80
8: 46.6% 72
7: 41.3% 64
6: 35.9% 56
5: 30.4% 47

Longer the rain goes, the better for the Ztars

 

[NYRB]

I believe this is the Melbourne Stars target based on Duckworth-Lewis-Stern, based on those table values:



You would gladly chase 57 runs off 5 overs, than 156 off 20 overs.

 

[Cleavy]

You would gladly chase 57 runs off 5 overs, than 156 off 20 overs.

then it's 1 over with field restrictions and no surge?

 

[GinniAndTonic]

Chances of the game getting called off?

 

[western royboy]

The rain coming to the Hurricanes rescue, a washout and a point would be a good result for them,

Radar is clear - they’ll play

 

[NYRB]

then it's 1 over with field restrictions and no surge?

You would think so.

 

[NYRB]

A No result right now is a good result for Hobart but also the teams battling to get that 4th spot around them.
