Wonder who will keep for the Stars in Harper's absence

Handscomb is an injury replacement player. He probably bats 3-6.

Forgot about Handscomb. If he plays I reckon he bats no higher than 7 or 8 though

 

[NYRB]

Perths game on Monday looks like it could be rained out. this game tonight all of a sudden has more added weight. Winner tonight goes up to 2nd and will stay there if the Thunder does them a favour by beating Perth on Monday.

The point is the winner tonight could probably make a case to finish Top 2 which is huge.

Stars run home: Sixers (MCG), Renegades (Docklands), Hobart (MCG)

Finchy will have 7 & Fox fighting for his services next summer.

 

[NYRB]

The Median Power Surge batting 1st at the MCG is 19 runs from 23 games. Thats one of the lower Power Surge averages in the Power Surge era of the BBL.

Do the Stars go under or over there today?

You sense if Maxwell there they could get around 25+ runs in that 2 over Surge.

 

[NYRB]

Few clouds and overheads above the sky here in Melbourne today. Maybe not a bad toss to lose for the glamour team from Moore Park Road.

 

[NYRB]

Mr Cricket saying its Sean Abbotts 100th game today. So a bit of fuel and fire for the Sydneysiders today.

 

[Aussie_boy]

The ball has been hit in Todd Murphys direction quite a lot already.

Comfortably over in the end. Crazy it’s that low

 

[010203]

Marnus would review that.

 

[Aussie_boy]

6 bowlers in 6 overs, interesting.

 

[Santana]

You have feet, move them guys

 

[tigs2010]

Webster hopeless against spin

 

[010203]

Harry Potter has had a good start with the ball.

 

[010203]

Webster hopeless against spin

Most BBL batsmen do.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Rightio Maxy.

Entertain me.

 

[NYRB]

Philippe with a dropped catch of Glenn Maxwell early.

 

[NYRB]

Might be unpopular opinion for Sydney Sixers fans', they might have to consider moving on from Josh Philippe end of this season if they dont win it. Has been out of sorts for a while now.

 

[nobbyiscool]

These Indigenous strips are so much better than the normal cookie cutter version of the same strip that they usually wear.

 

[troybe]

Maxy smoking them early
