Completely off at a tangent but why do all the male commentators in the BBL wear long sleeved shirts with their sleeves rolled up.

Is this some Aussie fashion statement that hasn't reached us in England yet.?

 

[Pup Clarke]

It's so the general public gets a glimpse of Mark Waugh's manly forearms obvs

 

[ataraxia]

Same with 'Lance Morris' imo

Good strong masculine name that. Can't for the life of me imagine a bloke named Lance bowling 90k darts off 2 steps

Lance Dry lol

Nah Lance Dry is a bit of an going meme on CW, mostly in NZ domestic threads.

Also, can we talk about head vs spin? He looked clueless vs kuhenemann in the heat strikers game and got out to him early, and now he's made 18 off 32 and looked dreadful vs fawad and corey rocconcholi. Given how he went last time in the subcontinent last time it's shocking to me that the Australian management can look at him and say "yeah a few net's will have him ready to face ASHWIN IN INDIA."

I think tbf to him most everyone looked ordinary on that deck. Though his return to the bbl has been very ordinary tstl. Seems like he’s been trying too hard to me - the anti-Shoaib Akhtar if you like

Short sleeved shirts are terrible unless you’re on a party boat

 

[Burgey]

Or playing golf.

Hingeh on the money here.

 

[Burgey]

Lol Hain. WAFC

 

[Burgey]

Not really sold on the Stuka siren as the home bowlers run in tbh

 

[_Ed_]

Well, this sure is something.

 

[_Ed_]

It's all happening.

 

[Burgey]

That’s hilarious

 

[ashley bach]

Turning down runs in 20/20 when you have wickets in hand is simply mental.

 

[ashley bach]

Probably goes down as the choke of the season.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Well, that was certainly not dull


That full bunger that got dispatched 100% should have been a no ball as well though imo

15 minutes ago Sydney Thunder guaranteed a top 5 spot, now they have to change their mindset, MUST win game now.

Were in the top 5 with a Hurricanes loss, but Hobart winning has got them currently 5th with a better NR.
Both teams have 12 points.
