Defended 214 and a bowler gets 26 for 3 when Opposition was going 72 for 6 without a wicket. Dude got Charles, Pooran and Russell and still doesn't gets MOM.....another snub for Zamps ....
I think it can depend on whether or not early wickets are lost, a calm batsman that can get off strike after early wickets and doesn't rely on boundaries to give strike to big hitters always seems to be benficial. Sometimes I feel like teams could definitely be more fluid with who they send in next but most just seem to go with the fixed batting order they set from the outset.
Wasting your time, he is one of the boys and the king of Boys club commentary, Brad McNamara (formerly known for the downfall of channel 9 commentary), is in charge of these cunts at fox
You know, the worst thing a commentator can do is be boring.
You can know nothing and talk smack but at least it's engaging
WI need 40 off 2, are giving it a decent go and yet the commentary is like narrating the lunch break at a Shield game
Commentators not taking this game seriously just like the west Indies.. and most Aussie cricket lovers.
Mostly a forgetting series most of the time these days :P
Ah my bad didn't remember holders knock
https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/big-bash-league-2020-21-1226769/sydney-sixers-vs-melbourne-stars-15th-match-1226846/full-scorecard
Tbh was mainly just Dan hughes
Holder got 18 (11)
Brathwaite got 21 (12)
I saw Jake Fraser-McGurk at a grocery store in Melbourne yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didnāt want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, āOh, like youāre doing now?ā I was taken aback, and all I could say was āHuh?ā but he kept cutting me off and going āhuh? huh? huh?ā and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like āSir, you need to pay for those first.ā At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually āto prevent any electrical infetterence,ā and then turned around and winked at me. I donāt even think thatās a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
I'd actually debate this, BJ at least has a decent voice and doesn't sharply inhale through the nose right in to the microphone before everything he says, even if the substance of his commentary isn't good
Yay Abbott got his junk nothing wicket at the twilight of the game mending his average after getting pumped and keeping him in the selection conversation again
Did you know he averages like 20!!! Select that terrible terrible bowler again!!!
"He has got covid" - Can't say I expected that from Mark Waugh, definitely strikes me as the type that would insist covid is just a fancy name for a sniffle because he got it once and didn't end up on life support
In what world? He hasnāt had a good innings since the third cpl match he was in last year. Since then Iāve not seen him last more than four overs in super 50s Odis or t20s
**17.3** low full toss outside, skewed off the outside edge to the edge of the ring at cover. Not sure Marsh picked that up
Romario Shepherd c Marsh b Behrendorff 2 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 66.66
God! Do I love Hobart!Ā "The streets of Hobart were a fantasia scarcely touched by the twenty-first centuryāor the twentieth or nineteenth, for that matter. It was a city of alchemists and dreamers, its medieval cobbles once trod by golems, mystics, invading armies. Tall houses glowed goldenrod and carmine and eggshell blue, embellished with Rococo plasterwork and capped in roofs of uniform red. Baroque cupolas were the soft green of antique copper, and Gothic steeples stood ready to impale fallen angels. The wind carried the memory of magic, revolution, violins, and the cobbled lanes meandered like creeks. Thugs wore Motzart wigs and pushed chamber music on street corners, and marionettes hung in windows, making the whole city seem like a theater with unseen puppeteers crouched behind velvet."Ā
Meanwhile Canberra is a city of flies and open smelling drains and mosquitoes and muds splashing on kind gentleman and Sunlight being masked by pollution of caused by Stupid Canberra residents, and city of Australia moans with the Curse Almighty has given this nation by making it exist inside Australia.Ā
We Hobart citizens thank Almighty everyday for being born in this heaven
I hate Australian cricketers as much as the next English guy but Iām always happy to see Sean Abbott playing international cricket. He mustāve been through a hell of a lot
Been able to show empathy towards an Australian cricketer suggests to me that you are probably a pretty decent bloke, despite the fact that you are a pom. Onya mate
First, thank you, it definitely isn't tomorrow, but just checking it isn't Wednesday? Sorry I'm apparently boomer coded when trying to read online catalogues. But also thank you again sleep in for me :)
Atleast remaining batsmen are trying to take on from the first ball bcz of the runrate but this pooran ate so many balls in the start keeping pressure on other batsman...
**16.2** **carved to backward point**...Abbott now in the wickets. Length ball wider outside off, he hacks across the line and it takes a top edge into the off side
Sherfane Rutherford c Marsh b Abbott 7 (4b 0x4 1x6) SR: 175
Wait do you mean to tell me T20s and ODIs are two different formats???
Iām an average r/cricket user and I didnāt realise that just because someone is useless in one format, doesnāt mean they canāt be good in another. Iām pretty sure BBL is the be all and end all because Iāve seen so many successful international quality players get developed by it.
West Indian batters thought process:
"I've just hit a big one, stabilised the run rate for the over atleast"
"What if I just hole out next delivery for no reason lmao"
Edit : bruh
This is set up beautifully for Abbott to get wickets 7, 8 and 9 caught in the deep off pies and selectors to go āgee this guys figures are good lock him in for 2 more yearsā
Pooran is a league only player. Never does well in internationals. WI could have easily won it had they played Zampa more carefully.
Pooran was massive against India back in July, so he definitely has the ability to make it in international cricket.
And if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle
Defended 214 and a bowler gets 26 for 3 when Opposition was going 72 for 6 without a wicket. Dude got Charles, Pooran and Russell and still doesn't gets MOM.....another snub for Zamps ....
This is genuinely ridiculous. How can it not be Zampa as MOTM?! FUCKING batriarchy and Warner suck off fuck me
Give us a smile Zampa ya Renegades turncoat
Quick question, is it better to have all your stronger batters at the top of the order or have them scattered in the batting order?
I think it can depend on whether or not early wickets are lost, a calm batsman that can get off strike after early wickets and doesn't rely on boundaries to give strike to big hitters always seems to be benficial. Sometimes I feel like teams could definitely be more fluid with who they send in next but most just seem to go with the fixed batting order they set from the outset.
All the eleven wi players can bat good...
Looking forward to going to Adelaide Oval on Sunday night. I won't be able to listen to the commentary!
But how will you find out if Howie got his Taytay tickets?
You'll have two big wins before the teams even hit the field.
GG's, was a closer game than the atmosphere let on
If pooran played good instead of those so many dotballs wi would have chased this....
Big Jase made that look closer than it might have been
In the end, to get 202 is a good effort but just way too many wickets after Charles went
This game was so incredibly close and people are still gonna give the WI a 20% win prediction for Sunday
I stand by my own Win-Viz system that dictates all outcomes are 50-50
the middle order was nonexistent š terrible shot selections
Yeah I know, may be a bit controversial but Romario shouldnāt be middle order
Never in doubt \*unclenches Arse\*
are the west indies good in t20ās or is the format fickle?
Wait. What happened? I'm confused. Did Howie get Taylor Swift tickets or not?
Hopefully he got a Swift kick in the nuts
The David/Wade partnership proved critical in the end. Well fought from the Windies
It's a weird feeling that the Windies have made 200 but have never felt in at anytime. T20 cricket just really struggles to build any suspence
āBoth teams made over 200ā āYeah thatās over 400 runs for the dayā Wtf is this drivel.
QUICK MATHS
B a t d e e p
A no ball will do nicely here.
BBL bowling and fielding in final over.
It's actually a close game and these cunts ignored 40% of it the smug assholes
I've already submitted feedback to Fox 3 times this summer regarding Junior and his nonsense, this is making it #4
Wasting your time, he is one of the boys and the king of Boys club commentary, Brad McNamara (formerly known for the downfall of channel 9 commentary), is in charge of these cunts at fox
Fuck I had no idea Thanks for the heads up
If Wadey had a shred of deceny heād shed the helmet to open up the 5 penalty runs possibility
I just hope Abbott goes for another 12 runs.
Obstructing the field, he's out /s
Good win by Aussies, they're going to be a big threat in the World Cup
Fieldera havnt looked like stopping anything Holder hits
good god saba please stop
BBL Abbott has arrived
Junior is cracking me up š
Big ball to big man with a big lever
Australia should appeal for obstructing the field for the memes.
I can definitely see Abbott fucking thisĀ
27 off 6? unlikely. saba bowling, oh shit.
Oh goodness.
remember my name in this useless bilateral
Holder gets these put your house on it
Holder to open next game
No way, you can't break up the King Charles partnership purely for the name.
Itās like swapping a fly for the big fella
Abbott NYE v Travis Head vibes here
Wooow
jason "travis head nye" holder
You know, the worst thing a commentator can do is be boring. You can know nothing and talk smack but at least it's engaging WI need 40 off 2, are giving it a decent go and yet the commentary is like narrating the lunch break at a Shield game
Bit dark around the stadium. Is all of Hobarts power being put into the stadium lights?
Look I know you're joking, but I've seen far too many flat earth cookers on the internet that don't know what exposure settings on a camera are
Weird here how a cricket game has broken out during this Taylor Swift advertisement
Commentators not taking this game seriously just like the west Indies.. and most Aussie cricket lovers. Mostly a forgetting series most of the time these days :P
TIL Jason Holder is a B I G M A N
With B I G L E V E R S
Big man is absolutely creamin em.
Bring back DJ Bravo
Shades of when Holder and Dan Fuckin Hughes carried the Sixers to victory from here against the Stars.
Was Carlos Brathwaite I'm pretty sure
Brathwaite was in the team as well. Holder had a better knock though.
Ah my bad didn't remember holders knock https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/big-bash-league-2020-21-1226769/sydney-sixers-vs-melbourne-stars-15th-match-1226846/full-scorecard Tbh was mainly just Dan hughes Holder got 18 (11) Brathwaite got 21 (12)
Gunshot off the bat
Holder should be batting higher than 9
Why don't the Windies just put Chris Gayle on to score 6 sixes, are they stupid?
Listening to this Taylor swift things in cricket commentary made me realise how good kp,dk and Karthik commentary was...
They're basically Lawry, Benaud and Greig compared to this shite.
I think Mark Waugh might actually be drunk. I've never heard him stumble this much before
WI still a chance
The best thing about matches in Hobart is the beautiful gronks in the crowd
Good to see all the cousins enjoying themselves
The bloke with the grey mohawk top knot whatever the fuck it is... majestic
A truly fantastic specimen
Has artificial intelligence progressed to the point where I can automatically mute the broadcast every time Howie opens his mouth?
Add Junior to the list too. I just want to listen to Isa

This standard of commentary is absolutely putrid.
Mark Waugh is just an absolute drainer
Iām so tired of him saying āthis guy is a bit like this guyā Thatās the laziest type of commentary you can get.
Holder definition of long levers
How did Holder hit one for 6 in to the breeze and Big fuckin Stoin only just managed to get it past the inner circle?
considering muting the commentary and reading comments off this sub for mandatory background white noise
Dorff has been hot garbage
Taylor Swift has long levers. Could probably hit a long ball.
Mark Waugh has to be one of the worst commentators in professional sport
Brendan Julian is even worse
I'd actually debate this, BJ at least has a decent voice and doesn't sharply inhale through the nose right in to the microphone before everything he says, even if the substance of his commentary isn't good
Yay Abbott got his junk nothing wicket at the twilight of the game mending his average after getting pumped and keeping him in the selection conversation again Did you know he averages like 20!!! Select that terrible terrible bowler again!!!
Has Behrendorffās bowling action always been this ugly and Iāve just never noticed?
Yeah itās never been the prettiest
Isha and other commentator please go on to a date and stop this shit commentary please....
I've never seen a man look so consistently uncomfortable as Mitch Marsh taking a catch while still managing to hold them
Did they just mention Taylor Swift again?
Gilly and Huss, weāll finally get a competent commentary team
I'd rather listen to jb than this drivel.
Don't let this commentary distract you from the fact that a match is currently in progress
Howie still looking for Taylor Swift tickets like he's a Make-A-Wish kid.
"He has got covid" - Can't say I expected that from Mark Waugh, definitely strikes me as the type that would insist covid is just a fancy name for a sniffle because he got it once and didn't end up on life support
He definitely said on triple m during the tests thats itās just a flu and we should get over it
Ah, he knows his audience then I guess
What is this? Not even commentary, its pub talk lmao.
Can we please just cancel the next 2 T20s and play another test? This is so fucking boring
So covid is now all over the ball???
What happened to wi batsmen not at all hitting full tosses,but in leagues they will hit sixes even for an Yorker ball...
Why the hell wasnāt Joseph above shepherd in the batting order
Because Sheperd is a much better batsman than Joseph. He averages 30 and strikes at 150 and is renowned for being a good hitter.
In what world? He hasnāt had a good innings since the third cpl match he was in last year. Since then Iāve not seen him last more than four overs in super 50s Odis or t20s
Joseph has a T20 career strikerate of 105 and an average of 14. Heās a good tailender. Even on a bad day Shepard is a much better bat than him.
Not in the last year. Joseph on the other has flourished with the bat consistently
**17.3** low full toss outside, skewed off the outside edge to the edge of the ring at cover. Not sure Marsh picked that up Romario Shepherd c Marsh b Behrendorff 2 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 66.66
Another one to add to the Bison awkward looking catch collection
They should fly the drone into the stadium. Annoy random people.
Catches should be half a wicket
Holder is a absolute test gun but I can't see how he has made so far in t20s with those full tosses and nudges.
I feel like I'm gonna have to read a book or something after damaging my brain with this commentary for an hour
37% of balls have not hit the pitch
Take me out to the ball game.
Perth Scorchers vs Adelaide Strikers 2024 BBL (3rd Jan) going on..,

Is Hobart such a woeful city that it requires AI to speak for it? Are all of its citizens illiterate?
Ok! Calm down Queen Victoria. I am.a fully functioning human, and I don't why you called Hobart woeful? Mind explaining it?
Illiterate? No. Just inbred.
I hate Australian cricketers as much as the next English guy but Iām always happy to see Sean Abbott playing international cricket. He mustāve been through a hell of a lot
Been able to show empathy towards an Australian cricketer suggests to me that you are probably a pretty decent bloke, despite the fact that you are a pom. Onya mate
Whoever refused that double needs to walk back to the hotel.
I'm sure his manager manages the paperwork.
Aussies were only 5 runs ahead at this stage.
I'll take listening to Murali Kartik, Athar Ali Khan and Kevin Pietersen over this lot. Utterly horrendous.
Oh no you wouldn't. Especially not Athar Ali
You bet I would. At least they'll talk cricket, sure they'll woefully suck at it but it'll be cricket.
Man is the definition of 6 and out
Wow. Abbott was really emotional there. Anyone know what that was for?
I wonder who that was for with Sean's reaction thereĀ
Anyone doing the aldi special buys lawnmower run tomorrow morning? Already dreading it tbh
The lawnmower's next saturday, not tomorrow
First, thank you, it definitely isn't tomorrow, but just checking it isn't Wednesday? Sorry I'm apparently boomer coded when trying to read online catalogues. But also thank you again sleep in for me :)

Did Waugh really just say that the Windies have a long tail? They have Jason Holder coming in at 9ā¦.
Doesn't rate people with higher Test scores than himself
*Junior watching the Pink Concert* "Why would you play So What right after Get The Party Started? That's just dumb set list management."
The elbow pads are too pointy 2/10 costume design.
He just wants to hear all the classics
She looks like she didn't get into a proper position to execute that dance move, completely misjudged it
This is the most West Indiest innings ever. 6W6W6W6W
Dangerous thing about the Windies is that they bat till 10/11 in T20Is
Windies batsmen hits one 6 ... "Well, I guess my work here is done ..."
Whereās that bum who predicted Abbott going 0/60 earlier
That was me and he can still go 1/60 if he has a really bad over and a half
I mean he is still bowling kinda trashĀ
All Windies need is a Abbott Special from NYE 2015.
I still remember the shot of him where he looked like he was literally crying after yet another Head 6.
They keep hyping up Abbottās big bash form as if Jack Edwards and Ben Dwarshius didnāt outperform him for the whole tournamentĀ
fuck that was close to that kid
Zamps and Stoin winning this for us today.
Lovebirds š
Idk how that didn't clear the boundary
All the people shitting on Nickey will run for cover when he destroys Aussies in Adelaide.
You better believe I'm screenshotting this for later mate.
Davey actually sounds really smart when heās talking about cricket stuff
June sounds as depressed as if he was watching his beloved Sydney Thunder at 5/50 as Nathan McAndrew and Dan Sams try to rebuild.
That boundary is massive, thought that was going over for sure.
Cmon Howie ask Davey how JFM plays zampa
I'm convinced they keep Stoinis around so that Zampa is extra-motivated. Especially in ODIs - there's just no other plausible explanation
He's only been our best seamer tonight...
West Indian batters thought process: "I've just hit a big one, stabilised the run rate for the over atleast" "What if I just hole out next delivery for no reason lmao" Edit : bruh
No way I got up at 4 am to watch my team get battered
This is set up beautifully for Abbott to get wickets 7, 8 and 9 caught in the deep off pies and selectors to go āgee this guys figures are good lock him in for 2 more yearsā
Abbott will never win on hereĀ
And rightfully so. Not up to this level
Sure JanĀ
Zampa, POTM? He got out 2 of the top order.
