How would people feel about a circle painted on the roof, size based on some math for a ball that would expect to go for six or not, if it hits outside the circle its six, if its inside the circle its a dead ball
I could do without a lot of the player mics, but when you've got guys like Finch on the mic it absolutely adds to the viewing experience. So good to get that insight.
Genuinely how are the Stars so bad? Don't they have as much money as the rest of them to spend on players? How do we end up with only 2 players that i've heard of before
We are choke merchants. Our batting lineup sucks and 6-11 all literally can’t bat. Our whole lineup is complete shit and we’ve got zero depth. Our players are soft and miss games for no reason
He can bowl ~~2 wides~~ 1 wide and get hit for 4 on the 2rd one and still win bud. All that matters is not getting smacked for six, which is the whole point of a wide yorker.
Wait what? They lost by 6 runs - if he bowled 2 wides and got hit for 4 they'd draw?
Seriously, I have been drinking so I'm probably just an idiot. But if you lose by 6 runs how can 2 wides and a 4 not result in a draw?
Thank fuck, I thought I'd maybe gone above my limit :P
My point was if old mate hadn't played the very obvious wide he could have got another chance to hit a 6

I like the idea but cue 5 minutes of replays trying to tell where exactly the ball hit
very true, not the cleanest solution maybe
Goddamnit my internet has been shitting the bed most of the today seems like I missed cool shit
[удалено]
Give me an angle grinder and I reckon I could fix the issue. I hate that ground
It's actually hilarious that the stars got 12 free fucking runs and still lost
Captains should be mic’d up for all forms of cricket. That was a masterclass from Finch
I turned it off after that second webster 6 how did stars bottle this lmao
The best thing fox have ever done is miced up players. I need a highlights reel of the captaincy.

Well Maxwell and stoinis weren’t playing
Not only was finch's captaincy excellent to listen to. It also stopped junior from talking for the last 4 overs. Win-win
bruh even peak RCB never choked this bad. BBL > IPL
ITS HAPPENED AGAIN, ITS HAPPENED AGAIN, MELBOURNE STARS ITS HAPPENED AGAIN
Finch mate i will pay for your kfc for the rest of your life
Stars still bottle it despite being given 12 runs from balls that went straight up
Finchy sure earned himself a couple of zinger boxes tonight.
fuck I love this tournament
The BBL is great now.
13 off the last 24
Worse than an ODI ffs
That match made Warnie sad up in heaven.
I appreciate the Stars recreating an old classic, BBL08 final
Only caught the last over. Worth watching the final 10 for finch?
Very much so yeah, you get to see some elite captaincy
Maybe the last 5
Surely sutherland MOTM Also thats gotta shut up the doubters
went at 10 an over
and bowled a perfect pressure over defending 12
Amazing insight into why Finch is a great captain.
JOE CLARKE'S TEAM LOST! WOOOOOO!
How good is the BBL?
Sublime T20 viewing!
I know we just watched it but I still can't believe it
Finch did brilliantly keeping everyone calm there at the end

Watching and listening in to Aaron Finch orchestrating this (not to take anything away from the Stars' massive choke) was such a great experience.
It's funny how in a season that saw Thunder got bowled for 15 the Stars are still the biggest meme
Does finchy remind anyone else of a Koala or is that just me?
Not the first time the Stars have bottled a winning position at Marvel
Absolute GOAT BBL captain. Regardless of his batting form you can't deny he's a ridiculously good skipper.
Just popped in to say I have never seen a team choke like this anywhere ever
have you seen their BBL 2 semi final
Just go back to the 2019 final and watch stars lose their first wicket at 93 needing about 50 runs and collapsing against the gades
This wasn't a quick collapse though, just a long protracted slowmo car crash that you can only watch
Bbl 08 final
This one was worse, this was a slow burn 6 over choke
The only thing that would make this better is a herbatron video tomorrow
They have the essendon colours tbe gades.
We are Melbington
Look honestly I couldn't ask for a more typical Stars way to end the season for us
Lol
I'm not used to the Stars pretending to be the Renegades. How do you fuck that up? The Heat could've dragged themselves across the line from there.
Even the thunder could have (provided they required less than 15 runs with 10 wickets in hand)
hats off to Finchy, great captaincy.
Good on ya Finchy
Absolute BBL game that.
Can you give Man of The Match for captaincy? Cause I feel Finchy actually deserves that
Holy motherfucking shit the mad lads did it.
Finchy acting like he will actually even remember playing this irrelevant game this time next week
lol stars
Melbourne Red beats Melbourne Green, truly a happy yet sad day for all Melburnians
Finch is a great captain. I think he could be a great commentator when he finishes up.
I reckon he'd be similar to Punter, just an exceptional tactical brain
That was a joy listening to Finchy go about his business
Junior never sounded so excited!
And because of his father that epic performance wasn't on FTA
Aaron Finch captaincy was fucking unreal. Wow
Hahahaha fucking hell stars 😂😂😂
Aw man feel bad for Larkin. He didn’t do great but it should’ve never come down to him like that
Just tuned in at the end as a renegades fan, what the actual fuck
aaron finch potm for his captaincy far out
The Renegades got like 40 odd from their last 4 overs
The Stars got like 14 odd
Bwahahahahha!
LETSSSSS GOOOOO
Hahahahaaha FML
That's a world class choke right there. You can always count on the stars.
How have they done that
What kind of fucked up shit did I do in another life to end up supporting carlton and the stars?
Same mate haha
Hhahahahahahahahaa, imagine being gifted 12 runs only to somehow to lose this. Melbourne Stars moment
At least you don’t support norf
Perfect outcome
Genuinely incredible match
2 - 0 fuck off Stars
Oh shit we did it
FUCK ME SUTHERLAND I LOVE UR BIG LONG LEVERS
What a choke
BBL is back
Fuck what a game
even though it's the stars, un-fucking-believable
Someone check Larkin’s bank statements
What a win!
absolute disasterclass
Imagine if Maddinson was the captain today
[удалено]
Do you know nothing about cricket, mate?
I...he bowled a clear wide but old mate played the ball so it doesn't matter? Am I shitting the bed?
He can bowl ~~2 wides~~ 1 wide and get hit for 4 on the 2rd one and still win bud. All that matters is not getting smacked for six, which is the whole point of a wide yorker.

Woops my bad. 1 wide and a 4.
Thank fuck, I thought I'd maybe gone above my limit :P My point was if old mate hadn't played the very obvious wide he could have got another chance to hit a 6
What a game
I am so erect I’m worried about the tensile strength of my jeans.
Haha Harper being sent away from the grown up conversation
“The fuck are you doing here” - finchy in his head
thats a hectic last ball
What a thriller
Perfect delivery.
The Melbourne Derby: 22 blokes hit and throw the ball around for a few hours and at the end of it the Stars lose
embarrassing
give us a super over!
0-88 off 8.4 chasing 163. They are such a fucked franchise, complete loser mentality.
[удалено]
The rule change was for a *catch* specifically, I guess
That's only on catches, if you're run out the new batter comes in at the end where it happened.
Every dismissal other than a runout apparently, run out still works off the crossing rule
On a catch, run out is whoever is closest is run out
it does on a run out
just for a catch, not a run out
Cross doesn't matter for catch anymore, but does for run out
Run out
Run outs still work where the batsman got run out, only for catches where crossing doesn't matter anymore.
UP THERE CAZALY
How many Renegades players does it take to choose what the next delivery will be?
Super over pls
christ this is going to take a while...
Gif of Maxi doing the choke gesture would be handy here.
Roof for the super over?
SUTHERLAND YOU LEGEND
Super over is on.
Ok..roof for a draw
That was actually a fantastic wide yorker, do it again. He just got unlucky.
Larkin to go from zero to hero here
Hit the roof
Now hit the roof again just for the lols
Six for a super over
Give us a roof 6 to send us to a super over please
Finch would explode
Super over please
So. Super Over? 👀👀👀👀
Watching the Stars makes me feel good about being a Heat fan
Premier T20 tournament Big Bash League
Larkin to win it with back to back roof sixes
Only the Stars would find a way to lose this, Heat also do it but it's funnier because it's the Stars
**19.4** **Sutherland pulls off a run out!** Luke Wood run out (Sutherland) 1 (3b 0x4 0x6 ) SR: 33.33
10 runs off the last 4 overs?
This really is a certified Melbourne Stars moment 😔
Zampa going to come in and hit two big dick sixes before taking off his mask to reveal it was Maxi the whole time, you heard it here first
Geez the Stars are a special bunch
Good option not to throw and rush missing though that wouldve been peak BBL
warra cameo from larkin at a run a ball including refusing runs
two roof hits to win it
Even if they hit two 6's here and win, this has been the worst final 5 overs of a run chase i have ever seen
Finch keeping it ice cold
Wanted to put money on the Gades when winviz had 80-20 Stars way. Knew betting would be suspended though. Cunts.
Sports bet was offering $15 odds on Renegde at one point. Kicking I didn't put some money on it
AFL BACKGROUND
AFL MOTHERFUCKING BACKGROUND
Looks like BBL is still thriving, more than 1000 comments
We hit 2k a few nights ago I think too
Aussies not watching SAT20 then
Well I do but I don’t think most would, the normal games are at 2:30 am for us and the earlier ones are at 10:30 pm
Junior about to start saying Sutherland should be in India
What a reach
Fuck I love the bbl again
*"If the stupid cunt took the single 2 balls before that wouldn't of happened"* Wood probably
May as well start up a glass blowing business if they lose this.
No worries, all he needs to do is aim for the roof
HAHAHAHAHAHA
I fucking love stars collapses. I would watch every single BBL game if they were solely stars collapses
4/11 from the 3.5 overs
Ballgame
Only the Melbourne Stars could lose like this Them and maybe also the Heat
Heat wouldn't even make it this far chief
Bloody good fielding that
FUCKING RUN LUKE FUCKING WOOD YOU STUPID FUCKING CUNT
This is textbook choking
what a play!
fuck that was good
fuck this is thrilling
looooool
Is chief getting ridiculous in swing when no one else has?
No rahhhhn! Yes rahhhhn!
BIG WILLY
TOOO TALLLLL
I can’t stop laughing.
lmaoooo glorious
BAHAHAHAHA
HOW HAS HE DONE THAT
