BBL Match 55 Hobart Hurricanes v Brisbane Heat 1310hrs @ UTAS Oval

[NYRB]

if that was the Pakistan lineup batting, there would be a full match investigation.

 

[Hamingja]

Classic BBL that.

Batsman can't get a touch on it for the first 3.

Absolute pus full toss goes for 6.

Umpire misses the waist high no ball.

Then batsman can't get a touch on it for the last 2.

Was just missing a dropped catch from the Hurricanes for bingo.

What a choke how are the heat making finals

 

[Plugger35]

That was one hell of a choke from the Heat.

A great last over from Tim David apart from the full toss pie that got smashed for six.

 

[SaintBilly]

How did the Heat lose that... jee whiz.

So Gades 3rd? I would love to say they deserved that but that says a lot about 6 of the sides in teh BBL

Nah I agree with you. Gades have lost all four games against the two decent sides, two straight wins against weak Heat/Stars liuneups and split the other three teams fifty fifty home and away. No way we deserve third but we'll take it

 

[FKASC]

They’ve called so many waist highs this season but don’t even review that one!

 

[Hamez]

Correct me if I’m wrong but waste height no-balls are for pace bowlers?

Spinners too

I always thought it was head high fullies for spinners but I reckon the law must've been changed 5 or so years ago as I have seen spinners called for waist-high ones numerous times.

All you can do is laugh . That is one of the all time great chokes from the Brisbane Heat. Better to do it today than Friday is all I'll say.

The Hurricanes have now given themselves some hope of making the finals. The problem is their finale hopes are in the hands of the Melbourne Spuds.

 

[hawkman]

Lol they’ve minced it worse than Carlton against Collingwood last year.

Heat are still playing finals though. So not that bad

Yea changed, use to be quicks only.

How would they police that? What if it was a 100km slower ball vs a 98 km offie

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I know he batted well and you hate to blame him but this all came from Pierson being stupid against Ellis

Just get the single

Stars will want to send Dave Hussey out on a high

Heat deserved to lose, but the umpire missing that no ball call is inexcusable. The ball was travelling as slow as it could be in professional cricket and he had one job.

The way that crab was batting he’d have just missed 3

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Almost as bad as this.

I’ve seen a lot of line ball shit called this year - umpiring inconsistency is worse in this league than it is in AFL.

 

[SaintBilly]

Almost as bad as this.

omg I forgot about this. 10/36. Yikes.

 

[SSwans2011]

Quite possibly, but in a professional competition, the umpire should be able to make one of the easiest calls he'd make all season when it's the only thing he has to be paying attention to until the ball passes the bat.

 

[SSwans2011]

Almost as bad as this.

The first and last BBL game I went to.

 

[madmug]

What a crazy game.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

So the Strikers end up second bottom. Probably reflects the quality of their squad in the end.

Surely with the game in the balance, it's not hard to have a look.
