BBL Match 41 Qualifier Hobart Hurricanes v Sydney Sixers 21/1 1900hrs @ Bellerive Stadium

[Plugger35]

All over, Hobart are hosting a final.

Jordan clutch

 

[Gak Attack]

This has been excellent bowling under pressure by Jordan. Jewell owes him some drinks

 

[Hamingja]

Expert use of the bowlers from Ellis won it. Sixers didn't go hard enough at the weaker bowlers, left themselves too much to do at the end versus the experienced bowlers.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Almost a case for the BOG with no wickets Jordan. Been outstanding

 

[madmug]

Yep. Good game. Great win.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Shaw has been junk. What is wrong with stepping inside and helping this guys legside stuff on it's way? Hopeless batting by Sydney.

Yep, tough position coming from 3/5. Couldn’t afford to take the risks against the weaker bowlers

I mean, there's shit takes, then there's this...

Brilliant win to the Canes.
Will be hard to beat in the final.

 

[Plugger35]

Meredith was great early and Jordan was great late, Gannon bowled pretty well too, his catching not so great though.

The Hurricanes have to be the favourites now to win it, hosting the final and they have the strongest line up on paper.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Never really rated Chris Jordan but credit where it's due. Was quality tonight.

 

[nobbyiscool]

In the era before the internet you'd be opening up the box offices tonight, and you'd have the final sold out before they even re-opened at 9am tomorrow.

It'll be hard for any of the 3 teams left to win it.

How is it a shit take?

 

[Hamingja]

Never really rated Chris Jordan but credit where it's due. Was quality tonight.

I don't think he ever jumps off the stats sheet but he bowls the tough overs and Hobart had missed a decent lower order hitter / finisher with the ball after Faulkner went off the rails so he has been a good pick up and he actually stays for the whole tournament which is rare for an international now.

 

[Gak Attack]

Still think it was a 190-200 wicket. Some average batting both sides with some good bowling.

 

[eth-dog]

How is it a shit take?

He's a 22 year old in his third innings ever, in a final and had a good crack at it. Like of all the people to blame you chose him.

Fair enough obviously the three who got out for nothing in the top order are where it was lost but as you say it's a final and they've been a top team. They should have been whipping and glancing a lot of those balls away rather than tying themselves up trying to hit them straight so much. Silk also had the issue.

Boof Lehmann thought the Canes where 15 runs short.
But they bowled well with good field placements.Fantastic finish by the Cane bowlers.
Huge moment for the Tassie BBL franchise.Best of luck in the final.
Got a feeling the winner of tomorrow night.Might knock the 6ers of in a tight match.

Canes bowlers absolutely bailed them out tonight, saying they were 15 short is light on I thought. It was a 200 wicket.

It's a bit naff that the final is on Monday. Put it on Sunday arvo if you want to avoid the tennis

 

[Saints4ever]

Great win Hurricanes.
Owen was awesome at the top getting them of to a flying start meaning they could consolidate through the middle on an up and down pitch that was a bit 2 paced.
Jewell and McDermott played the perfect innings in my book. Consolidated after a couple of wickets went down and built a partnership until the power surge come around where they could tee off again.
If Jewell or McDermott had of played a risky shot and got out it would’ve exposed the middle order earlier than wanted.
Well played Canes.

Is there anywhere that it's not a public holiday? Seems pretty well scheduled to me.
