BBL BBL Match 11 Sydney Sixers v Melbourne Stars 26/12 1735hrs @ the SCG

Been going on for a while.
Team needs an overhaul.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Can someone please give me a serious explanation as to how Merlo continually gets a BBL contract when he bats at 8 and never bowls? There are surely better cricketers running around in Victoria?

 

[hamohawk1]

I've been saying that since they bought them together

Still no idea what they were hoping to achieve with that move

tbf get rid of the thunder too, they've been as useless at times.

the 2 team in the big cities just doesnt seem to hold up

Will the Stars win a game this season?

Might win one, only if they are chasing a total, definitely won’t win a game if they bowl second

Rig really rates his himself

Fixed.

Will the Stars win a game this season?

Honestly would not bet on it. But win the toss and bowl and you never know if Duckett, Max go off

 

[madjoe]

funny thing is stars have decent quicks on the side lines couch, paris, mckenzie, steketee, yet they don't get picked lol

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Stoinis batted like it was a test match

 

[010203]

There really should be more of a penalty than 1 fielder inside the circle for failing to bowl your overs, especially as the Sixers were actually 2 overs short.

5 runs for every over you're short. Is greater protection inside the 30 yard circle really a punishment?

Couch bowled one over in one of there matches

 

[010203]

The Spuds score 195 batting first and still can't get within cooee of a win. They could go win less this season and nobody would be stunned.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Kellaway in Rogers out
Cartwright living off that huge 6 he hit, which seems a lifetime ago

Stars might need to get some Victoria Premier Cricket bowlers in

 

[Bazzas Lovechild]

Stars have consistently been the worst team in Australian sports. All the hype, support, cash, etc and never perform. Time to dump Maxwell and Stoinis….that’s probably 5O% of contract value right there. Can’t imagine I’ll go and watch this year.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Fold the club.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

Should have done a clean out last year
Rebuild the team properly or just fold

Usama Mir strikes with another pie that Henriques was trying to smash for six.



He is a warhorse but a 40 year old bowler that got delisted by the Strikers shouldn't be one of their best bowlers.

They have Joel Paris on their roster, another Scorchers reject but if he isn't injured he should be playing for them.

He's a very good FC bowler. Easily would be the best on their roster.

Tell that to the administration who either don't care because there getting paid or are simply clueless about running a successful organisation. I'd be starting with them. How you could think going out there with that bowling attack was a good idea has rocks in their head. Duckett must wonder what on earth he has walked into, probably wishes he was somewhere else already. Utter shambles.

 

[The Fonz]

Comments here are priceless!

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

The Stars would have to make at least 250 to have a chance of winning. Even with Duckett firing, their bowling line-up is grade standard. A 40 year old being their best bowler says it all.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Stars have a culture problem consistently underperform.

Not a lot of love for Stoinis

And I'm trying to remember what sort of reception Harper received when it was announced he was joining the Stars - we need to remember that during his last season as a Gade he was dropped from the side & replaced by Handscomb
