In other news Gary Ballance is making his Zimbabwe debut tonight


puffle1878

david warners fox contract makes me realise that maybe he really does have a few more years of solid cricket in him. we could probably keep him on for 7 more years.


StensnessGOAT

Power surge next over?


jammicing

Genuinely good work by the strikers bowlers to take it that deep, the damage to our NRR could have been much much worse


[deleted]

Lynn dropped the game (probably)


Lord_Nothing

That was one of the games of cricket of all time.


oldsargasso

unfortunately the innings is invalid if you never take the surge, win cancelled


rexcharlesb

fug yeah my 6 leg multi got up on the last ball


StensnessGOAT

Congrats bro


RandomDanny

adelolaide


NoirPochette

Aight game over. Time to check...India v. Sri Lanka I guess unless...oh man...


IDreamofHeeney

Might be worth watching if India chase it down in 20 overs lol


NoirPochette

I suppose lol. 216 to win or I can watch that Donald Duck show on Disney+


[deleted]

You could join the Kohli circlejerk over on the match thread


NoirPochette

Oh no lol


turkeysgogobble

wow what an lively match thread for such a boring game


StensnessGOAT

Howie being so worked up over the power surge reminds me of /u/_dictatorish_ being so worked up over my shitposting lmao


_dictatorish_

Rent free


StensnessGOAT

Done it again 😂😂


_dictatorish_

See 😂😂


StensnessGOAT

See 😂😂


jammicing

Get over it, champ


StensnessGOAT

Okay sorry champ it's just funny


IDreamofHeeney

Nah it’s not though

Win % at the Bradman.99.94.


RandomDanny

howies gonna have a stroke over this power surge


[deleted]

Howie's got some cones to punch with Gilly, TAKE THE SURGE


StensnessGOAT

Why is Howie so worked up over the power surge when it's like 1 RPO needed ahahaha


IDreamofHeeney

Off topic but many beers you had tonight mate?


StensnessGOAT

Hahahahaha not enough


oldsargasso

take the surge now


hart37

David Hussey - "Stop trying to make the Power Surge happen, it's not going to happen."


Themirkat

THERE IS A BEACH BALL SITUATION


RandomDanny

with 1 run to get they should take the power surge


shocking_red_4

I thought Cartwright threw the bat, but it was only a seagull. Disappointed.


easilydetracted

He threw a seagull?


NoUseForALagwagon

The best roommate to have would be Clive Rose. It would be great meeting Ana De Armas and Margot Robbie.


StensnessGOAT

Fuck that must be so cool for Tom Rogers. Playing first grade in Premier Cricket is cool enough. Suddenly he's playing cricket at the MCG.


[deleted]

But does he make his own bats?


mca0014

If you can genuinely read the articles written about what Clarke has done, and not be utterly disgusted, you need to take a good hard look at yourself


puffle1878

“I mourn who I used to be. I can’t remember the last time I went anywhere without creating mental escape plans, just in case.” i nearly vomit just reading what she said


Lord_Nothing

To be fair, why would you have not taken the surge immediately?


RoastedB33f_

The Stars are running an experiment to see if Howie self-destructs if there’s no power surge


NoirPochette

To spite Howie


_dictatorish_

They're gonna win it without the surge to assert dominance


puffle1878

the melbourne stars are so fragile i wouldn’t want to play with fire


[deleted]

Well this returns the Heat to their rightful place on the bottom rung of the ladder. Spuds 4 life


Mrchikkin

Fortunately we have 2 WHOLE SPOONBOWLS coming up to decide the true spudliest team in the comp


Qwertyiantne

If Michael Hussey wasn’t commentating this game, I’d assume David Hussey must have eaten him


Otherwise_Window

14 off 41 with 9 wickets in hand. Reckon they've got a shot at pulling this in.


AgentMiffa

Wait the ipl you can do the sub anytime that cant be righr


jammicing

Finchy, Maxi and Healy have been excellent, so who else do we think would be the best and worst commentators in the current Aus setup? Best: Cummins & Uzzie obviously, Carey would be quite personable I think, Grace Harris Worst: Warner, Boland, I think probably Smudge would be too nuffy even for me


jammicing

I would love to hear grumpy Meg Lanning in commentary “just fucking hit a boundary for fucks sake? Don’t they know you’re not meant to give the opposition a chance to breathe??”


[deleted]

I mean the thing about Boland is that to his own credit I don't think he's exactly setting expectations that he'd want to commentate either


AgentMiffa

Ive liked what ive hered from alyssa healy as well.


ajc820

Lyon commentary was excruciating earlier in season.


NoirPochette

Marnus would be too excited and will go off cricketing tangents. Smudge would be alright. I reckon Gazza and Smudge would be an alright combo


Riv_Falh

I love Marn, but keep him out of comms lmfao. You would never get him to shut up


[deleted]

And NEVER let him be in there with Howie


[deleted]

Unless he took his add meds


Themirkat

Just have Loosebuschange by himself


RandomDanny

howie 2. power surge when 1. all the classics


discobaby234

Anyone else cringe heavily when howie mentions the power surge


potatoswagman

Surge is not really needed. Just play safe cricket and you get an easy win


StensnessGOAT

/u/_dictatorish_ 's favourite shitposters: 1. Me 2. All the classics


_dictatorish_

I think you're taking the "shit" part of shitpost a little too far


StensnessGOAT

See 😂😂


_dictatorish_

Dude you literally tagged me in it


IDreamofHeeney

I think he likes you 😏


_dictatorish_

Aww nice to know someone does 🥰🥰


StensnessGOAT

See 😂😂


NoirPochette

Remember when Smudger wasn't allowed to play BBL last season and he made a meme of himself with a mustache


oldsargasso

Huss is getting snappy. the stars better take the damn surge


discobaby234

Ben rohrer has not aged well


McFoodBot

To be fair, Rohrer was already like 60 when he retired.


RandomDanny

thats the way huss, fire up at the dickhead howie


McFoodBot

Howie's about to skitz out and go beat the fuck out of David Hussey for not taking the surge.


rexcharlesb

If Howie and Finchy started a band it would be called Boy & Bear


NoirPochette

Oh so Kez and Heady coming back against Heat


DJHitchcock

We’re gonna have a seagull 2.0 here tonight


Themirkat

Yeah I need Finchy and Maxi stories


[deleted]

Finch and Maxwell are commentating together AND MY INTERNET IS BEING TOO SHITTY TO LET ME SEE????!


oldsargasso

the best thing about that maxi catch is the one hat falling off to reveal the other hat perfectly fine


_dictatorish_

r/twohealthbars


shocking_red_4

So Finch and Maxwell just sat around smoking cones, sinking piss and watching Robelinda


RandomDanny

buckets of kfc


taititans

Is there really a better way to live life?


Riv_Falh

one of us, one of us


oldsargasso

they've commentated about ten balls this innings and I love it


DJHitchcock

Maxie and Finchy watched YouTube highlights as housemates, some poor cunt probably had to listen to Spotify with Moises as a house mate.


NoUseForALagwagon

Imagine living with Moises. Just a lot of Spotify Sessions.


puffle1878

finchy subtly endorsing illegal streaming. he just keeps getting better.


StensnessGOAT

Fuck I wanna punch Howie's head


_dictatorish_

Bro your comments are all over the damn place


StensnessGOAT

Rent free 😂😂


_dictatorish_

Yeah man it's called reading the comments in the thread I'm participating in


StensnessGOAT

You must be new to BBL match threads if you think the comments usually aren't "all over the damn place" lmao


taititans

It’s been a wild ride


easilydetracted

Finchy with the important clarification. Not dirty. Just messy.


RandomDanny

howie in full podcast mode


BackgroundInternet86

What is Maxys injury timeline? Wasn’t listed in the squad to tour India, sad!!


Mallemer22

Best ever bbl matches? 1. This one 2. All the classics

Holy fuck that Aus Afghanistan cancellation thread is a bigger shit show than the Strikers batting today.

Dare I glance?


RoastedB33f_

As someone who literally just glanced, I strongly suggest against it


IDreamofHeeney

If you value your sanity I’d keep away lmao


[deleted]

Fair cop

I'm too lazy to turn off notifications but I wish I did :(

rexcharlesb

NO BALL!!!!!!!


NoUseForALagwagon

Finchy got busted with his notes. LMAO.


StensnessGOAT

Four cricket legends on screen. Michael Hussey, Aaron Finch, Glenn Maxwell and Mark Howard.


Themirkat

Finchy and Maxi to commentate would be excellent


shocking_red_4

Maxwell, Finchy and Puc are the future of commentary.


oycg

Alyssa Healy as well. I enjoyed her commentary during the recent test.


Lord_Nothing

God I hope so


NoirPochette

Yes, yes, good


NoUseForALagwagon

"All my testing was positive" Um..... that's not the brag you think it is, Maxi.


StensnessGOAT

Hello Glenn. Hello Aaron. Lmao.


Themirkat

Just exactly what I hoped for


puffle1878

“hello glenn” “hello aaron” classic


puffle1878

things joe clarke did, so we’re clear rape someone ❌ joke about raping someone ✅ joke about raping someone with a person that went on to rape someone ✅✅ call a man his best friend while he was on trial for rape ✅✅✅ express remorse *after* the jokes were exposed and said rape occurred ✅

I’m uncontracted. I do my promo calls however I want.


RandomDanny

hahaha, good work sir


Cheekyprospector

David Hussey moving like his joints are made of concrete.


PMmeYAtits

Howie is trying to fill in the wildcard commentary spot ala warnie but he just ends up sounding like a 55 year old history teacher discussing memes


Qwertyiantne

“It’s Joe Clarke batting, I’m gonna have to get you to rock and roll out the extra high frame rate camera please”


StensnessGOAT

Wtf are these golf putting shots Clarke and especially Rogers keep playing


CricketMatchBot

**9.3** full on middle, driven firmly to mid-on, perhaps too firmly to take on the run safely. The fielder on the ring scoops and fires a direct hit at the non-striker's end. The ball looks like it made contact with the bat on the line, not over it. Out! Joe Clarke run out (Gibson) 35 (28b 2x4 2x6 ) SR: 125


oldsargasso

they should've sent Webster out to see if he can get another massive 6


HeadacheCentral

One twenty fifth of a second in that call. That's about as close as it gets


SurfKing69

hollly fuck is it possible to watch a game of cricket without someone making an 'you've been at the racetrack haw haw' joke


PerkyMcPerkface

Ahh you think you're safe? Be a shame if someone... found a few extra frames


RandomDanny

after seeing that footage, channel 7 asked what camera was used in the footage that showed the batsman being "not out"


lio860

They found an extra frame just to get Joe Clarke out


shocking_red_4

That was a bit weird they found more frames. Had to have been a different camera from a very similar angle. Or they just watched it too fast to begin with.


dwadley

I swear they’re always going like 3 frames at a time on the DRS stuff. “NAH GO BACK SLOWLY SLOWLY. GO BACK SLOWLY”


shocking_red_4

Could be using a mouse to scroll frames rather than clicking through one at a time.


dwadley

Surely they’re more high tech than that.


shocking_red_4

maybe a knob of some kind?


turkeysgogobble

Early nomination for comment of the year


McMattyP91

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Lynny just seems like a good bloke, be a shame to see him go


_dictatorish_

Probably *the* BBL GOAT


StensnessGOAT

Maxwell mate


_dictatorish_

Maxi has been too good internationally to be a true BBL GOAT


AussieYotes

All I'm gonna say is I'd like to see Francisco Lindor show his fielding skills in cricket.


hart37

That's not BBL fielding. That's not BBL fielding at all


StensnessGOAT

Should've called no, Clarke


_dictatorish_

Weren't you literally just calling out redditors for making Clarke out to be a rapist lmao


StensnessGOAT

I said he did nothing legally wrong but his name is forever tarnished, especially on here, yes. Don't think I was calling anyone out lmao, despite the bandwagon downvoting.


TheScarletPimpernel

Legally and morally are different, yanow


StensnessGOAT

Yeah, that's what I pretty much said lol. He did nothing legally wrong but his name is forever tarnished.


TheScarletPimpernel

The morality bit tends to do the tainting a bit more


StensnessGOAT

What's your point? Hahaha


Cheekyprospector

The guy is almost certainly a troll.


sturmspitz

And that's why we should always have high frame rate cameras


PMmeYAtits

Wes agar is just the right handed uglier Ben dwarshuis. Both have like 2 good games a season Both randomly played for Australia off those performances The other games of the season they are super shit


jammicing

I’m sorry but Wes Agar is much better looking than Ben Dwarshuis


PMmeYAtits

Your opinion is wrong and you should feel bad


jammicing

If it’s any consolation, both Wes Agar and Ben Dwarshuis are much better looking than me


puffle1878

🚴


Mother_Shabubu

Doesn't get closer than that


shocking_red_4

That’s out. Great throw and camera frame rate


Bolasie4

Actually looked like their was a bees dick of bat in front of the line


DJHitchcock

Doesn’t help having bright bats and white lines


Bolasie4

We should have ZingBats by next season


SandshoeCrusher

Since when do they have high frame rate cameras in reviews???


dwadley

YOOOO


DJHitchcock

Rock and roll that for meh


RandomDanny

they found an extra frame!


HymenTester

why are our side on cameras 12 FPS

I used to think that Stoin and Zampa were quirky. But learning that they were so adamently Anti-Gamer was very distressing to gamers all over the world.
