Abu Dhabi T10 Nov 21-Dec 2 2024

[NYRB]

Speak of the devil, Lynn hits a 6 next ball.

Theekshana finishes with 19/0 off his 12 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Stoinis takes a catch but they are going to check for a no-ball. The Rig seems to be confident here.

But I reckon on inspection it was a no-ball.

 

[NYRB]

Thats above waist height surely?

 

[NYRB]

No ball it is !

1 right and 1 wrong from my prediction today.

 

[NYRB]

If the Stoinis has the nickname 'The Rig', I wonder what nickname we should give to Jonny Bairstow?

 

[NYRB]

Chennai bring up their 100 in 45 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Lynn brings up his 50 in 22 balls.

 

[NYRB]

#Lynnsanity is back

 

[NYRB]

Adelaide Striker fans licking their limps of an in-form Chris Lynn in BBL.

 

[NYRB]

You feel like in T10 game, 10 runs is about par either way as a bowler or batter.

 

[NYRB]

Chennai post 141 from their 10 overs and its game on.

Deccan do bat deep.

 

[NYRB]

Toss: Mohammad Nabi wins the toss for Bolts and opts to bowl

 

[NYRB]

Safeer Tariq is a crap keeper. Should have stopped that 4 first over.

 

[NYRB]

Mujeeb gets Rossouw.

Deccan 18/1 after the 2 over powerplay.

 

[NYRB]

Neesham gets Pooran 1st ball.

Deccan who do bat deep are 23/2 off 15 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Buttler is looking a million dollars with 15 off 6 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Neesham gets TKC

Deccan 50/3 off 29 balls.

The question will be when does 'The Rig ' come out?

 

[NYRB]

The Rig comes in at 5!

 

[NYRB]

All of Australia Ill be sure are tuning into The Rig bat.

 

[NYRB]

A chance for The Rig to cement a spot for the 2026 World Cup in T20.

 

[NYRB]

Nortje at 7, and Theekshana at 8 for Deccan.

 

[NYRB]

Gulbadin drops The Rig 2nd ball. Wonder if it will come back to bite them?
