The Slinger completely bamboozled the Wozzies. 6-7 in his 4 overs. Sandies currently 9-59.

by skully Wed 12 Dec 2012, 10:15

Fizzlers all out for 69. Lowest ever score in a Aus Domestic 20/20. Well played Justin Langer Supercoach.

Joe Mennie? Isn't he playing for SA in cricket?

Possibly, but it's very mixed up in the BBL with guys playing for rival states all over the place. Teams are selected draught-like from a pool.

There's that rain that has been non-stop here since last night

by skully Wed 12 Dec 2012, 10:52

Might just save the Wozzies.

Cheers, and just seen Faulkner's in Melbourne.

Looks like they might squeeze the extra 3 overs in the get a result.

by baggygreen Wed 12 Dec 2012, 11:59

One ball and the game is over? BBL authorities have plastic in their head as well.

by JGK Wed 12 Dec 2012, 12:55

Wow. I turned this off thinking they'd never get the overs in.

Are Malinga's figures the best ever List A T20 figures?

by tricycle Wed 12 Dec 2012, 12:59

Second best after Arul Suppiah's vs Glamorgan 6/5 in 3.4 overs last year.

Stoinis was in the Oz U19 team in 2008 ...played a couple of FC games for the Wozzies in 2009 without impressing ...currently playing Vomit District Cricket and Futures League ...played for the Scarborough club in Perth and his favourite player was the NLWL (who was also from the Scarborough club)

Hilton Cartright played in the same school team as Mitch Marsh ...had a super Futures League game about a month ago and has found his way into the Wozzie chainsaw team and now the Fizzlers because of injury to Mitch Marsh ...he's an all rounder with a bit of promise

Mennie is a Sozzie Shield player who the Scorchers signed last season after Johnson broke his foot ...he played for them in the CL

And cheers t. Was looking around for the English records last night. Wiki had an English 20/20 page but didn't have best bowling figures included.

Malinga went within a bee's dick of bowling Fudd with his last ball last night. Would've given him 7/7.

Don't both sides need to have faced 5 overs?

by horace Wed 12 Dec 2012, 23:40

not when they have already passed Duckworth Lewis

let me say that this is the worst ever performance by a domestic Oz team...

where to now for supercoach bnlg?

The target at 5 overs under D/L for the Vile Stars was 29. They made 29 off the first 2 overs before the rain sent them packing, activating D/L. They got back on just before the time cut off. As they already had the runs they only needed to face one ball after the rain break to make it a game i.e. they got the 29 required under D/L in 2.1 overs and didn't need the full 5 overs.

by horace Wed 12 Dec 2012, 23:54

thank you S...has a team ever been so badly flogged 10 wickets and 2.1 overs?

by skully Wed 12 Dec 2012, 23:59

Hehehe, I very much doubt it, h. JL - genius.

by horace Thu 13 Dec 2012, 00:05

could this be the pinnacle of the bnlg's career? the local worrier abc nobs annoyed me last night...they were at pains to defend the bnlg...totally symptomatic of the worrier malaise

by horace Thu 13 Dec 2012, 00:07

S...have you read my suggestions in the Domestic cricket thread?

by skully Thu 13 Dec 2012, 00:12

I haven't, h. Will have a look now. But it's the ideas you SMSed me last night, no?

by horace Thu 13 Dec 2012, 01:08

I hope that embee and zim put aside any parochial inclinations and consider the proposition on its merits...I think they would represent a fair test of worrier attitudes to such proposals...sadll we no longer have a jellyback supporter here to give their views

by embee Thu 13 Dec 2012, 01:12

get ****** horrie
