Lynn and Baz just tore Perth a new one. Baz 50 from 31 balls and playing 2nd fiddle to Lynn who belted 11 sixes to finish 98 from 49. Awesome hitting.

Bloody foreign imports, denying our man a century

Shane Watson may be a tool, and an ordinary test player, but shit he's a handy T20 player. Great bowling last night backed up with some huge hitting to keep his side "alive".
-
He was always quality in the shorter forms, one of the best allrounders going at his peak. I don't think he was handled that well in tests, though him being a cock probably had a lot to do with that.

Fuck I love Brett Geeves's writing.
On Monday, he wrote a pretty decent article about the prep for playing a test in India, based on suggestions that Matt Renshaw was astoundingly not guaranteed his place on the plane to India. It was a fair article about scheduling etc
Darren Lehman was asked about, and pretty much wrote it off because Geeves "wasn't a very good player"
And so today to Geeve's response
Delightfully pissy at the bottom

They don't seem to use it in any T20s that I've watched.

Why no DRS in BBL?
Speed!!!
Yeah I wondered. Obviously no lack of $$.
Been a couple of caught behinds in the last couple of games I watched that were pretty obviously out.

Anyone else watch that amazing BBL game last night? Everyone for the Renegades chipped in as they smashed 222/4 (hitting 9 sixes between them). Hard to lose from there right?
Hobart ran them down on the last ball. Young McDermott hit 114 off 52 (with 9 sixes), Bailey hit 59, and Stuart Broad hit 11 off 4 in the last over to get them home. Great chase, great game.
-
Caught the last ball, saw the score, then realised the TiVo had the last half hour buffered so I rewound for a look.
The Hurricanes were utterly in the shit from about 15 overs, losing wickets like a pack of shunts. Bailey helps steady the ship, then shit goes sour when Finch puts on his worst fucking bowler for the last over when the opposition go 8 down.
Seriously, he should have put himself on. Perera is crap. Nice step-across by Broad for the first 4, but the rest was just shit.
-
Was an amazing game. Normally around 30% of BBL games are fizzers, and you can pretty easily call the winner after the first innings. This year I reckon that's dropped to about 10%, it's great.
Agree with Nick though, Perera's bowling in that last over was just dross.
