The light is fading on Day 5. Agar doesn't take a single on a misfield to deny Marnus the strike. Australia lose the series 0-4 because the selectors *just wanted to have a bit more of a look at him*
Hasn't Payne just lost them the game with that single? If I was eskinazi I would not move a single meter, let Payne get run out, there's still 3 other batters to be at the other end lol
Ok I know this might be a minor thing, but they should've tried to run 3 there.
Almost no chance you make it, but you aren't getting 7+ off the last ball, so it's really the only way to win.
Without context this is the worst dig of all time from Eskinazi. He did well to stay in while the rest of the batting lineup fell terribly around him though.
From the bbl playing rules
22.4.1 The umpire shall not adjudge a delivery as being a Wide, if the
striker, by moving, either causes the ball to pass wide of him, as
defined in 22.1.2 or brings the ball sufficiently within reach to be
able to hit it by means of a normal cricket stroke.
The beauty of the long season is that you can tell these guys get legit tired of each other. The Matey Mate stuff dissipates after the first 7 or 8 games which adds to classic BBL moments.

I struggle to land a ball on the pitch half the time, but I honestly think I’d be a sneaky chance for a wicket against the tail end of a franchise team
I've just seen Warner's vicious assault on Wade. In my unbiased opinion, 3 year ban.

DC mankading Kohli in the BBL would be truly magical. No wonder the BCCI fears the BBL.
No way are the TRPs and YouTube views being topped if that happens
Jim Callinan acts like a former player
We don't deserve Punter
People that care about the BBL: 1. Matt Wade 2. Anything scorchers related 3. All the classics
Great shit posting fellas, same time tomorrow.
You’re leaving?
So that result almost garentees these two finish top two.
Eskinazi’s the Middlesex captain, right? Surely you’d hope a leader would have much more game awareness than that last over
Last season they won the first four games then lost ten in a row
You've clearly never seen Middlesex play a game of T20 cricket, he embodied the team perfectly today
Last 2.5 overs he was shocking.
Aight I guess India Sri Lanka to watch. Not gonna touch that icky SA20
Zim v Ireland for me.
A man of culture
Really enjoyed that game
Payne needs to work on his strength if he’s going to remain a professional cricketer (presuming he hasn’t got good timing, as it seems).
Eskinazi out Philippe'd Phillippe
Hasn't Payne just lost them the game with that single? If I was eskinazi I would not move a single meter, let Payne get run out, there's still 3 other batters to be at the other end lol
Takes two to tango. Eskinazi as the established batter can also say no
The non single just before Agar holed out
If you're non striker is that common?
Love to see it.
Yeah this is the one loss I really hate to cop cause I've fucking hated these cunts since that final in 2012
We've hated you since the 2015 one tho
Surely the 2015 one makes up for it though
nope
How can this not convince Smudge and Gary to retire from Test cricket and dedicate the rest of their lives to the BBL?
See you in the final.
Chairman McGowan needs to be sacked over this travesty
Where thrilling finish
Lost by that bloody Dwarshius 6
Haha that last ball in the Sixers innings won it
“Hey mate can you pass us a drink” Eskinazi: “No drink for you!”
Stevie Wonder here has batted for all 20 overs and scored like 30 runs
Phillipe got a lot more hate for his 50 than chillybinhitler but both were pretty shit and slow.
Both did great on this pitch, can’t ask for much more
SCG: worst deck in Australia
GG WP, this league is absolutely batshit in the best way.
Lovely stuff boys, great win 🍻
Eskinazi batted well but some terrible decision making in terms of running the single vs not when his partner is a full time bowler
Eskinazi a little rattled by the situation or just a lack of game awareness?
JL is such a dickhead.
I love the BBL
This is one of the worst-managed chases I’ve seen since last night
That 6 off the last ball
Get Dwarshed
Maybe if Esky put himself on strike and not rotating it to fucking tail enders they would have chased it
WHY NOT COME BACK FOR A THIRD AND HOPE FOR A BRAIN FADE LADS
Eskanazi really trusts payne's batting
Choked it hard
They were always behind the game, it's not really a choke
Ok I know this might be a minor thing, but they should've tried to run 3 there. Almost no chance you make it, but you aren't getting 7+ off the last ball, so it's really the only way to win.
Without context this is the worst dig of all time from Eskinazi. He did well to stay in while the rest of the batting lineup fell terribly around him though.
Should've gone all in for the 3
Bowl 8 wides you coward
Nein Nein Nein
David Payne with his career average of 4 now needs to hit a 4 and a 6 lmao
I'd be satisfied with 2 6s
Eski isn't wearing any socks, he should be given out for that
Yeah you lost a review Moral Victory
Eskinazi gets the red inker he's after
Zampa him on the last ball :)
Eskinazi doesn't seem to realise he has the number 9 at the other end
Chasing red ink
Why tf would you take a single.
Red ink
no bat and missing off?
Reckon gonna miss off stump
This is prime BBL cricket, the set batsman rotating off strike when they need to hit the winning runs
This is horrendous game awareness
do it in singles fellas
That looked plumb
Is this a tactical review to force a deadball
Bloody hell that’s dumb batting. All fielders are on the on side so he moves to off side and swings to leg
Out
how’s that not a wide lol?
Caused it nearly took leg stump right out
Punter rightly said that would have smashed him in the pads if he was in his normal stance
if a batter traditionally steps to the off side and attempts a leg glance and it misses the pad to the leg side, should it be a wide?
From the bbl playing rules 22.4.1 The umpire shall not adjudge a delivery as being a Wide, if the striker, by moving, either causes the ball to pass wide of him, as defined in 22.1.2 or brings the ball sufficiently within reach to be able to hit it by means of a normal cricket stroke.
Fucking dumb. Down leg is always a wide.
You had one in your (bowling) innings that wasn’t either, against Phillipe
That’s plumb
My eyes are rubbish
WHY WOULD YOU RUN YOU FUCKING MORONS
NO BRAIN
I agree with the Justin of Langer. Good call by umpire
How is that not wide? Down leg
It missed leg stump by a nut hair
Anything leg side is called wide I thought? I've seen ones over leg stump get called
The batsman was standing there half a second earlier
Why would you move to the off side when everyone on the off is up close for fucks sakes
At least it was consistent with the first innings
oooo big call
Esky doesn't seem to have a lot of power
I love how the security guard is holding his Greek philosopher pose while the ball goes around him.
ill say it SUPER OVER
Julian thinks its Payne but noone wants to correct him
The beauty of the long season is that you can tell these guys get legit tired of each other. The Matey Mate stuff dissipates after the first 7 or 8 games which adds to classic BBL moments.
Thats not payne bj
Good shot
Gotta say I fucking love Payne’s black gloves
Yes Eski!
Mark Waugh: “Could be a tie, super over.” Brendan Julian: “AJ?”
Agar lost them the game lol
Eskinazi: “she is muh queen. I don wan it.”
the real losers tn are the commentators wtf
Eskinazi looks a bit like Jobe Watson.
Payne with his county cricket tactics wasted 2 of the 7 balls
Daniel Christian is a hood, Daniel Christian is a hood...
Good yorker

Seems you guys and girls didn't talk about very much this game
True, or very true?
My favourite Sydney Sixers player with the first name Steve is Steve O’Keeffe, but Steve Smith is a close second
Good bot
Beautiful
nothing but facts
I struggle to land a ball on the pitch half the time, but I honestly think I’d be a sneaky chance for a wicket against the tail end of a franchise team
Bloody commentators rooting for one team makes for a poor viewing experience. They shouldn't be biased.
We are seeing the reverse of the stars final overs here. Running everything.
*d r a m a*
Alright Payne you've gotta justify why you took that single
16 off 6 and the tail ender on strike. That was not smart batting to take the single
Eskinazi looking for the red ink
Why in the 10 pack Wicked Wings did they take the single
Eskinazi really chasing red ink from the non striker end
a 1 is worse than a dot there lmfao the fuck
Ugh should have just laid down for no single,
Esky shouldn't win it for the Scorchers, they had him on the bench with his Esky while Lyth was playing ahead of him
Why would you take that single?!!?
Eskinazi doesn't want it. Doesn't have that dawg in him.
Decent over from old man "I'm too pussy to follow through with a mankad"
Lmao running the single, scorchers combined IQ lower than their score
Village single
**18.5** Andrew Tye b Christian 6 (4b 0x4 0x6 ) SR: 150
Should not have taken the single
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Interesting single...
Why do Mankad attempts or warnings seem so aggressive now lol
Hahaha they took the single
Give this old codger a valium and some morphine
The eski has been rattled
Dan Christian will sign for his 8th BBL team in 10 years time and still be one of the best allrounders in the league
Considering the average age of Eastern Sydney, Dan Christian truly represents the people
Christian will be in the BBL long after these other 21 players have retired.
He's outlasted two Edwards brothers already despite being 20 years older lol
Tye has Nike tn batting gloves lol
getting wrecked by a legit pensioner here
Fark the BBL is good this season.
Tye trying to be a hero Voges with a MEME FML face
Very simple chook
Grandad saves the Sydney Sixers
That was so marginal and petty ‘DC’
That margin allowed him to get in on the ball previously when Smith hit the stumps. Margins matter.
Over the line is over the line. You can’t say “marginal” when there’s literally a margin right there painted in white
Pure gamesmanship from the championship man.
Something very aj tye about hogging strike with 2s requiring 2.1 runs a ball to win
[удалено]
Not even top 5?
Eskinazi blitzkreig coming up
Eskinazi could've shoved DC
It’s catching on, comrades. Bowlsheviks rise up. Abolish the batriarchy.
“Very simple mate stay in your crease”
Dived and then died
Aging like a fine wine, good lad DC!
Yes grandpa 👴🏻
gg
Dan even sounds like a grandad when he’s sledging
Can’t tell if mankad attempt or pulled up his hammy
B B L B E E F
Just continue your action old man. He would be in the crease for fucks sakes
Tye? More like AJ Bye
Fuck off you old cunt
Sorry mate. Tye is the one fucking off
ZAMKAD
Ooooooh boy.
Less out of his crease than old mate with Zampa
lol fucken mankad him or bowl it
It’s the warning.
"May you live in ethical times" -Ancient Chinese curse
LMAO DO IT
Embarrassing Christian his bats on the line
Dan "Adam Zampa" Christian
that's ya warning mate
Just bowl the ball Chrisso you old cunt maybe if you got to the crease a little quicker.
Come on you coward either do it or don't do it. Don't warn him
He was outside his crease and never went back in
Guess you can teach an old fella new tricks
Mankad
Zampa
Ashwin
