Onto the tennis til the Victory game I guess

Nice innings Warner.

What really annoyed me about that innings he didn’t even try to go hard. Even that shot there he was trying to chip it out for a single. When you’re chasing a big total you need to hit sixes. He lofted one shot deliberately for the whole game.

Dude renshaw hit the last ball for 4 to win like 3 games ago lol

Didn’t say there were no tight finishes, I said there were hardly any. Been far more complete whitewashes (case in point Scorchers v Strikers only like 1 game ago lol), which is pretty rare in elite T20 comps I would have thought.

 

[DEVO]

This will be a good win for the Sixers, we a big boost to our NRR.

Steve Smith will.beat the Thunder all by himself tonight. Smith also outscored New Zealand in their ODI in India.

Thunder need to merge with Sixers asap

God no, we don't want any association with these losers.

The only interest left in this game is to see if the Thunder can make it to 100, it's not looking likely at this stage.

Especially with Cutting gone now too.

SOK might get a Michelle

They will be moved to Canberra one day imo. They will also move the renegades to Geelong.

 

[Andronicus]

Wow. Figjam at both ends with the bat.

 

[Tugga27]

Dementia. Warner thinks he is still playing in the test. Though he’d be striking higher.

I'm struggling to think of a worse innings in BBL history by a highly paid player.

 

[010203]

Steve Smith has defeated the Thunder 125 - 62.

 

[Cleavy]

Haha, Smith doubled the Thunder’s score.

 

[theiaofseed]

Smith scored 125 and the Sixers win by 125, the difference.

 

[DEVO]

The fifth lowest total in BBL history.

The fifth largest victory (by runs) in BBL history.

The perfect game.

 

[theiaofseed]

Warner and Smith both top scored for their sides.

Thunder obliterated twice this season not as bad as 15

 

[ep2018]

Legit two decent teams and six dog s**t ones. Feels like I'm tempting fate by saying this but, forfeit the rest of the season and play Sixers vs Scorchers already.

T20's are such a volatile format though.

All it takes is one or 2 players to have a day out and you could lose.

Steve Smith 125*

Moses Henriques 45*

David Warner 16
Josh Phillippe 10
Joel Davies 10

Henriques struggled for his 45 and no one else got past 16, and somehow Smith put on one finest BBL batting displays in history, he was batting on a different pitch tonight.

Not many dud players in those 2 teams the rest have too many.

Yep we're definitely due a 3/4/5 making the final. The past few seasons its been 1v2 under the current format.

I suppose if highly paid players went out first ball, like a few have, that would be a better innings. What a dumb post.

 

[Aussie_boy]

I don't think Smith's form does anything to prove/disprove his T20 credentials (ok that's probably a tad harsh), what it does prove though is he is about 8 rungs above BBL level and a truly brilliant batsman.

And also it is truly something that in an 8 team comp, 6 of them can be absolutely awful. Heat are currently the 3rd best team but will quickly return to their old ways when the Aussie side goes to India.
