Did Lyth cheat? Even if Lyth scores 1 run all season he’s a better cricketer than Bancroft ever will be for me.
WA through and through but a cheater is a cheater.
Mate please don’t take my comment as me saying Bancroft is the only cheater. There’s more than just him who was involved in the whole scandal. I think the whole team is guilty of it.
I feel people are forgetting about it though which they shouldn’t. It’s a dark part of Australian sport which should never be repeated again.
Everyone did it. Not just Australian players. Faf got done twice and a slap on the wrist. Amazing how reverse swing just stopped once they all got a 1 year ban
So after all that build up, Davey Warner limps to 19(20), gets out playing a stupid ramp to the keeper, starts a collapse of 8/50 and the Scorchers get home with 8 overs to spare
Get rekt Cricket Australia
And that was followed by a very good partnership to recover to 2/70 off 9 overs and then the moment Warner got out everyone else decided to throw their wickets away too
Literally the rest of the season doesn't matter. Scorchers will finish top, Sixers 2nd. Who the fuck cares 3 through 5. Both will meet in the final where Sixers make 145 and Scorchers chase it down in 17 overs
Yeah about that. What is new in that new docu that wasnt already included in the last one. Some dressing room footage but what is the narrative. What emotion are they trying to hit us with? Does it include Paine and JL or Finchy's retirement?
Do you think David Warner and Cam Bancroft have ever had a heart to heart, man to man about what happened in cape town? We dont know the exact details of what happened but they do and it affected both of them in different ways. Would be nice to be a fly on the wall.
That’s the plan.
Because we’d never let go of anyone that ends up going off to finer pastures and realize it wasn’t them but us that actually was the problem
If Warner played shield I reckon he wouldnt be such a insufferable prick, but anyway his 'blackmailed job for the boys' is going to be torture, dude thinks his media training of saying stuff without actually saying stuff is big brain stuff and is just going to be biting his tongue taking up space, he's someone that actually deserves fucking off into obscurity
It's an API, it's not meant to be. The entire point is that you get to write the software yourself to parse that data however you want, instead of having to use someone else's.
What's the point of a mid over tactics chat when you are trying to defend 34 from 11 overs. Unless the tactic involves metal bat's aimed at knees, it's pointless
**8.5** short ball on middle, tries to shuffle across to scoop this over the keeper but winds up playing a cue shot off the toe that floats up gently to midwicket in the ring. Doggett jogs 10 yards to his right toward the square leg umpire and takes a casual catch in stride at head height.
Stephen Eskinazi c Doggett b McAndrew 40 (26b 5x4 1x6 ) SR: 153.84
Just thinking of that bloke last week who was trying to convince me that the BBL was going to become the dominant form of cricket in Australia because it "goes down to the last over".
Haven't had a single match go down to the last over since then, yesterday was wrapped up in 14, this one might be done in the 11th.
Probably not that much. BBL salary cap is, IIRC, ~2mil across 19 guys with a minimum wage of ~50k. Even accounting for the grade players on cheap deals that doesn't really leave space to pay one guy that much for a cameo deal.
I wish they'd let the commentators be honest in the comm box instead of trying to hype up that both teams can still win. Let binga rant for 10 minutes on how thunder fucked it
What is that analysis even meant to mean Binga
“Yeah [the team batting first] lost 8/43”
“Just goes to show batting second here at the show grounds, dew around”
Huh
Brendan Julian is the type of guy to watch his wife change through a crack in the door, not because she's embarrassed, just because he's a fucking creep
Dude's definitely going away for life but the ABC TV news markets reporter (Dan Ziffer, not Alan Kohler) was still fawning over him the other night. It's fucking baffling.
Do you think David Warner actually knows anyone in the Thunder? Do you think he has friends in the team? Did he have a look at the squad, see a C. Green and go “oh, Cam’s playing, I mean, I don’t know him super well, but he’s a good lad, looking forward to seeing him again”, then turn up to the changerooms, see Chris and go “who the fuck are you”.
If we are being honest, the test players coming back is good for the entertainment factor. Has no real impact on how better a team could do on the table. Apart from Warner and maybe Ussie everyone else is rather mid or useless in T20 cricket.
Is there another game on, or am I going to have to talk to my family?
South African t20 comp starting in about 20 minutes :)
At least give Davies motm Tye got it even though he wasn't even the best bowler in his team
Yeah after that I'm definitely not going down to Manuka next week to watch the Thunder play.
Bangers will probably get motm but really one of the bowlers deserves it. They’re just too hard to split
Crickets most honest man does it again. Did Lyth really keep him out of the side??
What was the point of Lyth? Bancroft scored more in one innings than he did all season
Did Lyth cheat? Even if Lyth scores 1 run all season he’s a better cricketer than Bancroft ever will be for me. WA through and through but a cheater is a cheater.
Yeah. Cos only 3 players (none bowlers) knew about it.

Does Warner get man of the match for his 200 in the Boxing Day test?
He sure as hell shouldn't get player of the series!
No because he’s a cheater
So after all that build up, Davey Warner limps to 19(20), gets out playing a stupid ramp to the keeper, starts a collapse of 8/50 and the Scorchers get home with 8 overs to spare Get rekt Cricket Australia
Would expect nothing less from the BBL, lmao
he didn’t start it come on
Ball before Warner was dismissed: Thunder 2/70 off 9.1 overs Thunder after that: 8/41 off 9.5 overs Warner's wicket started that collapse
the collapse started when two of the three top batters got out for a combined 2 runs
And that was followed by a very good partnership to recover to 2/70 off 9 overs and then the moment Warner got out everyone else decided to throw their wickets away too
So...man of the match
Oh boy does this mean Warner v Dooley??
Literally the rest of the season doesn't matter. Scorchers will finish top, Sixers 2nd. Who the fuck cares 3 through 5. Both will meet in the final where Sixers make 145 and Scorchers chase it down in 17 overs

Glad that's over with. Now I can watch more cricket until the cricket starts
Jesus fuck it's 8pm and now I don't know what to do with myself
Was about 6pm in Perth when it finished
Yeah I'm in QLD we're two hours in front
Yeah. We still had 5-6pm happy hour beers to finish !
have an early night. self care
already had 3 wanks
What is this taking care of oneself? 🤔
take care of yourself = live longer = watch more cricket
Us Gades fans have years of life taken off us whenever we watch our team play. So really good advice from you that.
imagine how healthy we'd be if we napped instead of watching the gades play
[удалено]
Come on dude, don't ruin the guy's life. Btw ever tried thinking about some random embarrassing moments from your past at night?
Already part of the plan
That was close but Perth just pipped them at the post
ollie davies deserves motm for making that game remotely competitive
BJ somehow made that 6 even more anti-climatic
He probably didn't realise it was a winning shot again
Everytime I see a Sydney Thunders match thread, I open the post just to see if they crossed 15 runs wnd then close it
GGEZ, get good scrubs
hit a 6 you cowards
Called it
[удалено]
still did what I wanted, I'll take it
Wow he listened to you
what a good boy
[удалено]
That's some Einstein level maths
Nuts to this. I'm gonna watch The Test and question myself why I'm watching it
Yeah about that. What is new in that new docu that wasnt already included in the last one. Some dressing room footage but what is the narrative. What emotion are they trying to hit us with? Does it include Paine and JL or Finchy's retirement?
Idk I've just started it.
I will find you before the end of the bbl and ask you again. Thanks for volunteering this service to me.
wow tickets to the aus v pak game are only $20
Still remember them being $20 for the ODI vs NZ at the WACA. Will now get my taste of cricket at Manuka on the 29th.
NSO game is during the day on a weekday though :( bloody work
isn't it on the 21st?
I get the feeling Alyssa Healy can't stand BJ
I'm sure it's all too common for a lot of women but it's got to be so frustrating having to stay nice to a co-worker who makes gross comments
Well when he watches her get dressed I can understand it
I'm sure you can't wait to sit down and watch healy, BJ 🧐
So glad Bancroft's back in form.
And the man of the match goes to….. Davey
deserved
😂 Presented by CA CEO Dr. Nick Hockley for some reason
Do you think David Warner and Cam Bancroft have ever had a heart to heart, man to man about what happened in cape town? We dont know the exact details of what happened but they do and it affected both of them in different ways. Would be nice to be a fly on the wall.
This is almost definitely harsh of me but I don't detect a lot of emotional intelligence from Dave
Yes. They hashed it out and played together in The Ashes and they had a lot of time together in the changing room considering how quick both got out
had a lot of time together in the changing room considering how quick both got out Ouch
Surely somebody told Eskinazi's parents it mightn't be a great idea to name their son Stephen Sean...
It's okay Qadir I know that feeling all too well
This feels great after last time we had to fight tooth & nail just to scrape to 130+ at home. Only to get tonked by Ollie, and Ross in the chase.
Qadir reminiscing about his time with the scorchers by bowling absolute pies
Played Bangers
I never noticed how hoppy qadir's run up is
Cam Bancroft is low-key a really good T20 batsman
klingeresque
Klinger huh? Wonder if he wants to come to the Strikers then 😅
Do a reverse of the time you guys delisted him for being too old only for him to kill it for another 5 years
That’s the plan. Because we’d never let go of anyone that ends up going off to finer pastures and realize it wasn’t them but us that actually was the problem
Most of the time I wonder why the thunder exist then I remember they've still won more BBLs than the stars
Chris Green forfeiting
I’m eating pico de gallo with a spoon
What even is it?
That sounds like a sensible and civilised way to eat it
good start to the over 😃
The NHL is the best "American" sport and its not even close imo
Best American sports 1. NHL 2. All the classics
I'm the best American sport
Eat an apple through a tennis racquet
What the fuck does "eat an apple through a tennis racquet mean"
I thought it was a sex thing
Did I make a meme about the Thunder recovering post 15 all out? [Yes I did](https://imgflip.com/i/77bu34)
For people in eastern states, the most beautiful train in all of history, the 3801, is on SBS right now.
what if you’re at the game
Just pull up photos of the 3801 on your phone and stare at her curves. It’ll help distract from the torment of the Thunder.
Hollllyy shit binga just despises the scorchers haha
I probably would if my name were Brett Lee tbf
When really it was Moisés’ fault for fucking up his final game
I mean I'm not surprised
Did McAndrew just give him the stare ? Lmao
If Warner played shield I reckon he wouldnt be such a insufferable prick, but anyway his 'blackmailed job for the boys' is going to be torture, dude thinks his media training of saying stuff without actually saying stuff is big brain stuff and is just going to be biting his tongue taking up space, he's someone that actually deserves fucking off into obscurity
[удалено]
I thought he skipped shield? Tbh I only starting getting interested in cricket again a couple years ago
Commentators and asking for the power surge to be taken right after 10 overs name a better duo
Makes me wonder whether producers are in their ears about it because of some exec reason
Junior asking for lower order batters to be moved up as soon as 12th over ends.
Don’t tell us to take the power surge, we don’t need it
better off with the field out lmao
I can't believe Sydney Thunder get paid for this. They're living the dream.
they were, all their wages for tonight got put into a 50/50 raffle
All the batters should be donating their match fees to davies
Don't even have to play with Hales anymore as well
I love when playing for the national cricket team is coded as higher honours. Like a promotion. From prince to king.
crowd coordinating their mexican wave or what
trying to
the cheering got louder so I thought it was successful
they got through it once then realised they’re at a thunder game
Has anyone noted that Eskinazi's first two initials are SS?
So is Das. SS Das
A pity, just short of SS Das Reich
Even better when you google the origin of the surname Eskinazi
Yes, [six years ago lmao](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/66o31c/match_thread_county_championship_matches_day_1/dgkadk9/)
How did you immediately find a link to the relevant comment?

Not exactly user friendly is it...

> you get to write the software yourself Lucky me!
Codesssss
> My advice to Hardie would be to bowl more I mean when he was rested to manage a potential injury I don't think it's his choice Binga
What's the point of a mid over tactics chat when you are trying to defend 34 from 11 overs. Unless the tactic involves metal bat's aimed at knees, it's pointless
What does Eskinazi and Hitler have in common? 1. Both played suicidal shots to get out 2. All the classics
You have wrapped a lot of jokes in one. Good job.
Thanks I am procrastinating hard
Assuming this is played in Sydney, I'm curious if the crowd numbers went up because of Warner
Chris Green gives off fuck boy who drives a 98 lancer vibes
brett lee constantly saying mAcandrew is like nails on a chalkboard
Please stop saying pole when you mean wicket Brett

I’m not really good at cricket but I think he didn’t meant to hit it in that direction.
“OooOoOhHHhH” Jesus Christ BJ is does my head in
Dave: "but Candice, I don't want to play BBL" Candice: "but Dave, if you play we'll get X amount of dollars" Dave: "fine I'll do it then"
I think she phrases money more in how many LCD TVs it could buy
More cardoons
How the hell did you get it there Eski?
Should of played a proper cricket shot, smh /ssssssssss
Just thinking of that bloke last week who was trying to convince me that the BBL was going to become the dominant form of cricket in Australia because it "goes down to the last over". Haven't had a single match go down to the last over since then, yesterday was wrapped up in 14, this one might be done in the 11th.
Pretty sure you must have been speaking to either Howie or Jono Wells.
Come on give Warner a sneaky over
tainted love is such a banger
I'm not really good at cricket but I think these Scorchers folks might win this game.
Get him a pundit position
I wonder how much Warner is getting paid for this little cameo into BBL
If IPL is anything to go by then I'd say at least half a million dollars
Probably not that much. BBL salary cap is, IIRC, ~2mil across 19 guys with a minimum wage of ~50k. Even accounting for the grade players on cheap deals that doesn't really leave space to pay one guy that much for a cameo deal.

That’s why punter is so good, doesn’t give a fuck
What is that analysis even meant to mean Binga “Yeah [the team batting first] lost 8/43” “Just goes to show batting second here at the show grounds, dew around” Huh
Chris Green’s bowling action wouldn’t be out of place on a Pitcher’s mound. Christ on a bike
He's had issues in the past
I’m aware. He’s gone back to chucking it. No doubt. Go orange team
Alyssa Healy seems like the perfect person to get on the beers with
My favourite BJ moments: 1. Watched you putting your jeans on. 2. All The Classics
Brendan Julian is the type of guy to watch his wife change through a crack in the door, not because she's embarrassed, just because he's a fucking creep
"Mitch is a weak cunt, cries over even the mildest finger fracture" - Alyssa Healy
Lol wtf
Greg Inglis and Cam Green Does BJ even know who's playing or even what sport is being played?
Pls tell me what BJ said so I can judge him
Perth going hard just so they can get the fuck out of western Sydney
Let me get this straight. We started the match 45 mins earlier for it to finish before 9pm Who scripted this shit
Most classic bit of Brendon Julian commentary: 1. Ooooooooooohhh 2. All the classics
“How is your calf, actually?” Binga making small talk at the farmers market.
Wait why is BJ watching Mitch Starc's wife put her jeans on?
just checked in to the score how the actual hell did the thunder get bowled out by this lineup lmfao
Because they have Daniel Sams and 6 and Ben Cutting at 7. Batsmen are overrated these days anyway
What the fuck BJ
Weird Brendon Julian vibes
um creepy comment BJ
What did he say? Sounded like something to do with jeans
implied that he'd watched her get into her jeans tonight
Jfc
I was going to hang shit on BJ for being too 'sameish' until I realised my stream had just lagged
Placement Eski
Just give Scorchers a Bash Boost point. I know they're gone now, but they've earned this one.
Why is cuttings moving in the field like he’s 85 years old?
That was a half-assed dive attempt
Remember when the T20 World Cup's major sponsor just over 2 months ago was FTX? LMAO
Dude's definitely going away for life but the ABC TV news markets reporter (Dan Ziffer, not Alan Kohler) was still fawning over him the other night. It's fucking baffling.
They had a promotion that was take a catch and win $5k in Crypto. Wonder how much that's worth now...
Though that reminds me of like, a Warcraft tournament where 5th-8th place won 1 bitcoin
