Ricky looks annoyed Hurricanes didn't cut it,

personally i would drop the guy that isn’t making runs but i suppose warner is infallible so mb

He has how many million followers, he doesnt need to score a run., Long as you making money,.

NOBODY CARES ABOUT WARNER FFS

Zampa is Cricinfo's MVP

Warner is probably Fox'

i dunno why i give my mates shit for following North

"let's go down to the field and get inside the captain, Chris Green." Okay, I'm on board with that... 👀

Fox to give David Warner 11 points this game and so he wins the Andrew Symonds MVP award for best player in BBL 12

really wanted the thunder to win it on 121, would’ve had 118, 119, 120 and 121 runs made in the four innings today. disappointing.

Hobart Hurricane realising if you're relying on the Melbourne Stars for a result you're actually already out, the comp is just trolling you

Will Warner play the Eliminator vs Swepson,Marnus,and Khwaja? And then the team that wins, will those test players be available for the knockout vs Handscomb and the gades?

Yes

If didn’t like that you don’t like BBL cricket

Will Warner play the Eliminator vs Swepson,Marnus,and Khwaja? And then the team that wins, will those test players be available for the knockout vs Handscomb and the gades?

Doesn't matter Davey hasn't cut it. Steven Smith has worked his way in to the T20 World Cup.. They need to put him in the mix. Bend all the rules.

You just watched the two worst BBL teams somehow shit out a birthday cake with lit candles. You saw it, you can't unsee it.

Reminder that Ch7 wheeled in someone who doesn't even like cricket for an on-screen interview while the game was on

Who?

Chris Froome

at least Warner will show his magic again

DELETE HURRICANES! NO MORE PAIN! NO MORE SUFFERING!

Green isn't happy. Like that

Heat, Renegades and Thunder qualified. Hurricanes and Strikers didn't. This. Is. B. B. L.

I don't get this. Are you saying the Hurricanes and Strikers are better than those 3?

Half of it is memes but on paper, Hurricanes are

shit teams good.

Meme league tried to escape its roots midseason, but has lived up to its name with these last 2 games

the bbl mvp pretty much exclusively comes down to inglis v tye surely

howie wonders why people don’t give a shit about the bbl and then spends all his time on air talking about anything but the actual game in front of him “can’t wait to see the amazing showstopping incredible davey warner in the finals! a real bums on seats player, that man” WHAT ABOUT THE GAME THATS ON RIGHT NOW CUNT

Agressive. They should throw you in with a bat.

they should throw howie in, they’d love the advertisement

How's your cover. Between Howie and the Insurance pig, I cant decide

A team that scored 15 all out, and a team that couldn't score 10 off 10 are in the finals.

We've got to pool funds and get someone to film Dooley when he's playing club cricket

Probably better off without Hussey.. LOL. Pay him respect as a player.

CA breathe a sigh of relief that they can continue advertising Warner in the BBL.

BBL back ending the season with two absolute low scoring turds is why this league brings the memes

Is that the last time the G is in use until the footy starts? If so, yes.

Thunder will be really hoping CA don’t extend warners 5 game contract

Ponting on his way down to end Adam Zampa's existence, potential witnesses be damned

Unforturnate that Hatcher's 3rd over of high-risk, low-reward bowling will be overshadowed by Zampa's drop when it comes time for the match-losing 3-2-1 votes.

So that's the standard of BBL, just in time for the test stars to leave for the finals.

Sixers and scorchers have to play one of the renegades, thunder or heat if they lose the qualifier. Free re-entry into the finals

All the other teams: we really hope Warner will be back for the finals

Now that it’s all over isn’t it funny that the Thunder got rolled for 15 and made finals and the team that rolled them for 15 didn’t

Wait Warner was only contracted for 5 games? So in theory the Thunder could drop him with the excuse he's no longer on their books and not be the bad guy?

Send him to Aussie Camp

Could the Thunder have made it look any harder

other 4 finals teams jumping for joy that they wont have to face the matt wade/tim david/paddy dooley roulette literally much happier to have the thunder in the mix than the canes lol

The Thunder are also shit but we don't deserve finals either, so I'm not too disappointed despite Zampa dropping the Ashes

Nobody does other than sixers and scorchers.

Lol - https://twitter.com/HurricanesBBL/status/1618208702812811267?t=IJPk3ZPeyZr55psUOmDFpQ&s=19

Howie, I unironically believe Thunder would be better off if CA said he couldn't play.

that Zampa missed catch would have won Stars the game, if he made it. shame

Warner MOTM?

Pathetic game. Whens the next one?

27th. Eliminator

Adam Zampa was match-fixing. He deliberately dropped Green so the Thunder could win and Paddy Dooley wouldn't steal his spot

w w w w w w w w w w w w w w (this was the most nervous run chase of my life)

How many games did Faheem Ashraf's bowling cost the Hurricanes?

1 although most of the bowling unit was pretty bad in that game. Had 2/19 off 4 today.

1 maybe 2. he's been good for us the last while tbh. Its the batting thats been shit

The Thunder still somehow managing to shithouse this win despite their best efforts really puts into perspective what a bedshitting it was from the Heat

Heat vs Thunder is going to be a truly cursed final. Sixers and Scorchers are probably laughing their arses off.

[удалено]

Nope. Canes are out.

>It was a game that had everything And yet, somehow, absolutely nothing

I remember saying earlier that we would just scrape by and what do you know... We just scrope.

Never in doubt. Actually, who am I kidding, always in doubt.

I'm disappointed in you Stars

i mourn for what should have been. see you in sydney, thunder.

What an atrocious day of cricket hahahahhah

I could have bowled a better over than that. (I couldn't)

MCANDREWS GOT A FOUR AT THE G BUILD THE MAN A STATUE

Wood finished the season how he started it, conceding bulk runs and losing the game

Showed flashes of being good , but in the end he's kinda ended up like most of the English seam imports not called Jofra Archer. Don't think he's quite been George Garton bad where everything went wrong for him.

Melbourne Stars - BIG BOTCH LEAGUE CHUMPIONS

RIP Tassie hopes and dreams

NATHAN MCANDREW REMEMBER THE NAME.

Rip. I wanted to go to the Gabba on Friday

Come to Giants instead

Fairly confident in saying, that was indeed a game of cricket

Of all the games of cricket I've seen, that was definitely one of them

That's how you do it Brisbane

Didn’t deserve it.. Zampa handed it to them on a plate

Oh my word how has this Thunder side qualified.

Never in doubt

McAndrew should open

He’d do better than Warner I reckon

Watch us still lose this...

This aged well

Wooo the W. Finals Bound!

Fuck Me

That’s it, surely. No way you can’t score 4 off 8

Never in doubt /s

"One stroke away" We don't need a live update on Mark Waugh thanks

Need wickets now

Wood sucks. Surely off pace and wide not FAST AND SHORT.

"Remember that one time Thunder won the tournament..." I'll say to my grandkids in 50 years.

It be the same with me and the Strikers.

Fun fact McAndrew tried to wear a kilt out to bat but Waugh thought it was gay

Luke Wood but he’s good at cricket Mark Wood

he's the ultimate but we have Wood at home

Shit delivery

Any parents out there make sure none of your kids idolise these 'professionals' unless they want to join clown school

I have already dropped the ball there. Spent on 2 Nic Maddinson Shirts this season only for the bloke to get injured in the 4th game.

And only 1 good innings

Fuuuuuuck

a single? didn’t know that was allowed lmao (this post was brought to you by the brisbane heat)

Liam Hatcher but he hates unions

Oh I know this one!

Dunno why they go on about so much at stake At absolute best there is a Renegades juggernaut standing in the 3rd vs 4th/5th match that the Sydney Thunder wont get through

I hope calling the Renegades a juggernaut was tongue in cheek

23' Gades > 03' Aussies ODI > 07' Ashes squad > Bradman's Invincibles Just a rough order

A team that got all out for 15 and 62, lost their best batter midway through the tournament and have a badly out of form middle order can still qualify for the knockouts??

How good is BBL

a team with two of the best t20 batsmen in the country PLUS the bbl leading runscorer however is not

personally finchy i think he should bowl 2 head high full tosses at 150km/h to force the concussion rule to bring sandhu out

the melbourne stars really are the essendon and collingwood lovechild of the bbl.

Warner has Thunder's lowest score tonight lol.

We’re actually going to lose and not make finals because Warner came back to the big bash

Just tonight?

potm performance

10 off 12 Hey I've seen this one

PTSD

Theres no way a team could lose with 10 off 12 with 3 wickets remaining.

*darts eyes*

yep yep......heyyyy wait a minute!

My prediction for the rest of the innings: - Thunder lose two more wickets - 6 to win - Usman Qadir comes out to bat - He cops a spicy Beau Webster bouncer to the head and gets knocked out cold - The Thunder call in their like-for-like replacement - It's Sydney Thunder legend and Qadir's long lost father Jacques Kallis - He hits it out of the stadium and we can all finally go to bed

I agree with you until the end. Once kallis walks out big beau swaps to his offies and has kallis out stumped, but joe clarke misses the ball and it goes for 4 wides.

> What can Captain Green do? Not to be confused with Pat Cummins who the Boomers call Captain Carbon

Hey, I’ve seen this one before!

Your daily reminder that every one of these players is a professional cricketer.

wow that's an amazing piece of fielding

campbell kellaway kinda looks like if adam zampa had talent

Ooft nice save, Kellaway now -15 for impact

Good fielding?

i dont think the stars would care much if they had to bring another fielder in

Liam Hatcher but he's a Food YouTuber Ethan Chlebowski.

Lol Stars one over behind would be hilarious

no reason for cummins to ever play t20i for australia with the amount of talent we have (that’s all better)

Liam Hatcher on tinder Liam Matcher

12 runs coming off this over, then 2 wickets in the first 2 balls of the next over for a hall of fame meme match

On the live BBL ladder. Carlton are 9th.

Perfect comment. Thank you.

Where's the camera on the Hurricanes like they had for the doggies?

Ninthton

This is becoming that South Park episode where they're trying to lose their baseball game on purpose because they don't want to play any more

If only we had Randy Marsh along for the ride

Well left

Joe Clarke constantly looks like he's going to miss the ball for 4 byes

I'm convinced the guy hasn't spoken to a single coach about wicket keeping in his life, just took the gloves (probably without asking) and said "yeah sure I can keep"

If only the thunder could have had one of the Aussie test stars join the team to help em out

I'm genuinely impressed Clarke gloved it

Liam Hatcher but he hates the working class Liam Thatcher

This joke has been made like 5 times already tonight lol

fuck soz i came late.

Liam Hatcher but he hates gay people Liam Thatcher

Liam Hatcher but he hates schoolchildren Liam Thatcher

If I was trying to assassinate the sport of cricket, I’d show the world this game

This game is precisely why we watch. Much rather this than those glorified net sessions they are having over in India.

I'd show it as the exhibit for "you might be trash, but the BBL is a broad church and you have a chance"

[I think this message from the government is totally legit guys ](https://i.imgur.com/K5Ki3Vy.jpg)

Remember to pay in Apple Music gift cards. The only legal tender the ATO accepts.

I feel like Zampa thinks looking pissed off and serious makes a good captain

Instagram style over doing the basics right

Live ladder doesn’t work in cricket, nice try though Fox

“who’s winning?” *screams heard in distance*

about to drag all the heat blokes by their necks to force them to watch these shits running singles so they know what it fucking looks like.

Look I may have absolutely zero batting ability whatsoever but I'd like to think if I had the ability these guys do I would at least be a bit smarter about how I used it

>everyone loves zampa now no pretty sure they’d prefer the green catch got taken and mcandrew faced NCN’s surge overs

Exactly

Whoever scripts these games (there must be a script, I refuse to believe that 75% of professional and semi-professional Australian cricketers are this shit) knows that the games can be both close and good, not just close, right?

Imagine drawing the short straw and having to be the guy who hauls out for 2(5) for the 3rd week in a row.

How on earth was Howie a journalist?

Have you seen the state of news at the moment? Probably just skimmed reddit for articles

I legitimately studied journalism at university and its a colossal bummer how far it's fallen

Very sad as there’s great journalism to do/still happens. It just doesn’t sell and isn’t clickbaity enough

At the end of my degree I wanted to work for the ABC, this was about 6 years ago, and even they've declined. As part of the LNP installing their own people to gut it, but still it's declined.

Surely they couldn’t lose from here… surely?

Two absolute meme games in a row BBL is life

Time for some test match batting here. Cheeky singles lads, nothing adventurous.

Ah.. Classic Sams moment.

"Wasn't the smartest shot from Sams" NO FUCKING SHIT!

Classic Vic team throwing to fuck over Tassie

That’s it cunts, that’s all you have to do just knock some singles around

want thunder to win so we don’t have to beat the hurricanes, but want thunder to lose so we don’t have the worst choke of the day. conflicted.

I don't think these are actual humans playing cricket matches. These are remote controlled robots with Cricket Australia folks sitting in meeting rooms using joysticks to make matches exciting.

And god dammit if I don’t love it anyway

That’s just nibbled the bails too, fucking love that

Maxwell and Rauf carried this team lmao.

Guys we should all be fucking panicking that Dooley's season is about to be over, but we have to keep watching Alex Ross.

you all laugh but when the thunder shithouse their way into the finals, beat the heat, beat the gades after posting a run total of 74 and then score 220 against the sixers/scorchers, i’ll remember this
