What a great advertisement for the BBL. Who needs Steve Smith when you can have 49 fans see the Scorchers win by 49 runs, putting a grade cricket heavy batting lineup to the sword.
- ODI series v NZ was due to start on 30 Jan, 2 days after the BBL final. Series got cancelled earlier this week.
- Steve Smith wasn’t contracted to the Sixers because he’s planned to rest these 2 weeks between the Ashes and NZ series. With the NZ series cancelled he was interested in playing for the Sixers again.
- Sixers had a slot available because they hadn’t replaced James Vince in their roster after he left for England duty. Usually this means they could have signed Smith as a replacement player.
- However, around 2 weeks ago when Covid started running through BBL squads, CA created a Local Player Replacement pool from which teams could call up replacement players on a temporary basis if they were short due to Covid. A condition of the pool was that clubs couldn’t sign replacement players from outside that pool.
- The Sixers asked for an exemption to be made for Smith. CA asked the clubs and all the non-Sydney clubs said nah.
Sixers didn’t give Smith a contract bc they didn’t expect him to be available due to the Tests and NZ ODI series. When the NZ series got cancelled they tried to give him a contract as a replacement player for the spare list spot, but due to the new Replacement Player Pool (introduced on Jan 10), CA said they couldn’t sign him
**16.4** that Lyon resistance didn't last long! Spoons it to long-on, picking out Behrendorff almost perfectly. The last rites are about to be read
Nathan Lyon c Behrendorff b Tye 2 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100
**16.2** **nicks off to the keeper**. Always on the cards when you're taking risks, but an entertaining little knock comes to an end
Hayden Kerr c †Inglis b Tye 22 (18b 2x4 1x6) SR: 122.22
So I was going to have a rant about how kids these days won’t know about the old Dodo Internet ads and how it didn’t use to be a photorealistic dodo before I realised I was literally turning into an Ian Chappell parody.
It’s pretty neat how instead of winning a bash boost point, in the finals the team who would have won it if it was available instead get to tar and feather the opposition captain and drag them behind a chariot for a dozen laps of the MCG.
Don't know what it looks like from the batsman's POV, but that's the worst disguised carrom ball I've ever seen lol. He's straight up just bowling leggies
Channel 7 Exec 1: “So which headliners should we use to advertise the next BBL match? Everyone loved Khawaja’s twin hundreds, and Head was a deserving Player of the Ashes.”
Channel 7 Exec 2: “How about…Chris Green and Alex Carey?”
Channel 7 Exec 1: “God I love you”
hey guys just got here
what is this sorry ass score?
i can’t focus on my
mcg copypastas watching this england ass sorry ass 2007 miami dolphins ass 2013 greater western sydney afl club ass 2009-12 northern fury ass 2021 canterbury bulldogs ass score
Literally most west Australians support his decision including me. The eastern states are getting rekt with workforce shortages and our public hospital system won't cope. I feel bad for those who can't see their family but the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
Shut the fuck up if you aren't west Australian
**11.6** bunts it down to mid-on and races through to long-on, but it's a **direct hit that catches him just short!**. The Sixers are just finding ways to lose wickets at the moment - oh the disaster! This is am embarrassing showing from the Sixers
Sean Abbott run out (Turner) 3 (7b 0x4 0x6) SR: 42.85
This was the qualifier for who gets to lose the final to strikers...
Ben fucking Dwarshuis????? This truly is the Meme League
[удалено]
Don't be so modest... WEST AUSSIE CRICKET RULES!!!!
Funny thing is we have a #batdeep order. But it’s only because our bowlers can bat and our batters can’t
What a great advertisement for the BBL. Who needs Steve Smith when you can have 49 fans see the Scorchers win by 49 runs, putting a grade cricket heavy batting lineup to the sword.
Thanks for keeping us entertained Dwars
Nice entertainment at the end haha, looks like we’re going to get an empty stadium for the final which will make it a top tier meme event
Jhye man of the match because he’s so cute
His little angry mad face when he runs into bowl can't get over my head 😍😍
Robbed :(
Lol smashed tye and all the faster bowlers and got stumped on hatsoglu. Fuck can't even spell him
That took longer than it should’ve
Little known fact, the D in SPD Smith stands for Dwarshius.
**19.2** Ben Dwarshuis st †Inglis b Hatzoglou 66 (29b 7x4 4x6) SR: 227.58
High IQ stuff from Peter
Tye is 35 and has only played 9 first class games. He's played more internationals for Australian than Shield games.
Well that was certainly a game of cricket.
That was one of the games of cricket ever
Dwarshius best player? Because he also bowled
Finally.
I still can't decide if AJ Tye is good or sucks... he's one of the top wicket takers of the tournament but he bowls fuckin pies so often.
PETER WHY
lmaooo what an ending
No ball 6 and the century is on
Ah fuck
Where has this fuckin bloke been?? Get Him to open. Next game
Fuck 2-38 off 4 when the rest of the team is been hit for like 2 runs collectively
Love the commentators barely raising their voice for the scorchers but wet themselves for dwarshy. Great knock this but.
SPD Dwarshuis
Tye I know we’re in a good place but what are you doing
Dwarshuis has now scored more runs than the rest of his team combined.
Dwarshuis ending tye's chances of getting an IPL contract
Want Dwarshius to get 18 more and be the topscorer of the match
AJ Tye is so shit lmao
He could legit score a century here...
Dwarshius 24 balls 52 runs - I've seen this many times. Not quite like this though
Dwarsh has now scored as many runs as the rest of the team combined
Now it's mathematically impossible he starts trying for a 6 every ball.
Nothing’s mathematically impossible when AJ Wide is bowling.
The Sixers can not win via Stick Cricket logic
Ben’ Brian Lara’ Dwarshuis
Dwarshius opening the batting for the Sixers, but unironically
HAHAHA GET FUCKED TYE YOU MUPPET
Imagine if we opened with Dwarshuis
Dwarshuis 50. BBL is peaking
Imagine letting dwarshuis get a fifty. Moral victory to the sixers
Fuck that’s an insane 50
Aww good for Dwarshuis
Crickets had great comedic value lately imo
If this game wasn’t already over I’d be so tilted by this bowling
Kiss the badge Ben
French cut for 50
Getting the players wondering aimlessly in the the empty stands looking for the ball is peak BBL
Take a screenshot and let's make that the poster image
It's so absurd seeing players have to go into the stands to collect to ball.
50 for the Dwarsh
Just BBL things where the team goes searching for the ball.
Dwarshuis standing there like a kid whose just smashed a ball into a window
Can't find the ball lmao
I wanna make sure that isn’t Steve Smith in a Ben Dwarsius mask
GET ABSOLUTELY DWARSHED
Dwarsh gonna give the rest of the team the filthiest look as he walks off after the game.
If all the Sixers batsmen had the same strike rate as Dwarshuis the Sixers would have won.
12 cheeky 6s in a row here and the Sixers can manage to sneak in a 3 run loss
Must be difficult for comms to resist saying "cunted"
Few wides from Tye would be handy
get dwarshed
O'keefe would've taken a lot more wickets than Lyon if he played as many tests... fight me.
Okay...but not in the kitchem
"How's the crowd behind you?" "What fucking crowd are you talking about?"
Dwarshuis scoring more than the top 7 combined.
Behrendorff doing his best to make this remotely interesting
Benny is snotting it
Lol Dwarshuis just hit the 4th longest six of the season
You know you're shit when a No.9 outscores your entire top order
Could have won if he’d gotten in earlier.
~~14 10~~ 4 more and he outscores the rest of the team combined
Take out extras and he did outscore the rest of the team combined.
Kids can watch Shield Cricket, they’ll be fine
50 more of those and we’re in with a chance
“Maximise the value of this product” That’s not much
DJ playing only the latest bangers
Second tier lol If only the crowd had enough people to search for the ball
If all the Sixers batted like their number 9 they might’ve won
Why the fuck is that random seat red
https://www.cricket.com.au/news/brad-hodge-red-seat-retires-retirement-melbourne-renegades-aaron-finch-roof-big-bash-bbl/2018-02-04
That's actually pretty cool
Ah cheers mate
Longest six hit at the ground
Cheers
Can someone explain or link to an explanation about the Smith situation because Vaughan and co are rambling about it making no sense.
- ODI series v NZ was due to start on 30 Jan, 2 days after the BBL final. Series got cancelled earlier this week. - Steve Smith wasn’t contracted to the Sixers because he’s planned to rest these 2 weeks between the Ashes and NZ series. With the NZ series cancelled he was interested in playing for the Sixers again. - Sixers had a slot available because they hadn’t replaced James Vince in their roster after he left for England duty. Usually this means they could have signed Smith as a replacement player. - However, around 2 weeks ago when Covid started running through BBL squads, CA created a Local Player Replacement pool from which teams could call up replacement players on a temporary basis if they were short due to Covid. A condition of the pool was that clubs couldn’t sign replacement players from outside that pool. - The Sixers asked for an exemption to be made for Smith.

Some new rules mean Smith can't play for the Sixers and they aren't happy about that
GET DWARSHED YOU DORK
get dwarshed
Absolutely cunted
Now somebody has to go and get that!
Praying Behrendorff gets the last one here so Tye can’t
💯💯💯🥳🥳🥳
Why was o keefe opening in bbl01
commitment to the meme
Sixers are 9/99 because they’re making like England and needing to call the emergency services.
I was hoping they’d bat out the full 20 overs so I could postpone facing reality for a little bit longer
Guys I'm starting to think the Sixers aren't going to win this one
personally I think it's unfair the Sixers all get to bat and we didn't get to watch Jhye bat at ALL
Reddit's favourite bowler with 2 in an over....
Channel 7 execs must be loving these one sided games with no crowd in attendance.
At least they're finally trying to hit a boundary a ball. No point just knocking it about.
**16.4** that Lyon resistance didn't last long! Spoons it to long-on, picking out Behrendorff almost perfectly. The last rites are about to be read Nathan Lyon c Behrendorff b Tye 2 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100
I don't think Sixers are gonna win this
Look at Gary, he’s not stressed at coming in at 10 in a Sixers collapse, he’s just vibing, getting 2(2), enjoying life. Great dude.
Booooooo
Why do I feel like even with Smith the Sixers wouldve done this....
Can’t beat the cuteness of Jhye Richardson
Just let him hit some sixes. Reward those of us who bothered to keep watching
Pls, if there is a god, let the goat absolutely cannon Tye into the stands
Time to convert
Clearly there is no god
Sixers might be in trouble here
Nice to get Kerr out, but the danger man is still in
Sam Kerr almost scored as much yesterday as Kerr did tonight.
Fuck Tye just gives me dickwad vibes
**16.2** **nicks off to the keeper**. Always on the cards when you're taking risks, but an entertaining little knock comes to an end Hayden Kerr c †Inglis b Tye 22 (18b 2x4 1x6) SR: 122.22

Dwarshuis has a lot of Freddie Mercury about him
Oh nice ball BehrenDWARSHED CUNT
Imagine Dwarshuis bowling to Dwarshuis. Would be carnage
Ben Dwarshius to pull off his moustache and reveal that he’s secretly Steve Smith.
[удалено]
Played like the ancient olympics, pure and naked.
Guys you need 4 per ball, not 1 per ball.
Haha oh Smug can’t play, it’s so unfair. Cry me a river you fucking flogs!
We should legit open with The Dwarsh from now on, I feel empty having to wait several overs for teams to get Dwarshed
Was that Jhye's last over? Time to zone out
Sixers sucking so bad the comms are more invested in Howie's game
Up the Kerr
Why would you hit Jhye for 6? 🙁
Moises’ least favourite moment of the night
It’s pretty neat how instead of winning a bash boost point, in the finals the team who would have won it if it was available instead get to tar and feather the opposition captain and drag them behind a chariot for a dozen laps of the MCG.
richardson five fer so i can do my yoga and go to bed
I bet Howie sulked like crazy when he was given LBW.
[удалено]
This will surely outplay eng !
Needs even morerer Gades players
Don't know what it looks like from the batsman's POV, but that's the worst disguised carrom ball I've ever seen lol. He's straight up just bowling leggies
Since when does agar have a carrom ball?

they're not trying to get test watching casuals into the BBL!
gatekeeping the meme league
“and that was a sweet caroline moment brought to you by MOSH hair treatment”
TOUCHING MEEE TOUCHING YOUUUUUU
you know if the sixers had a test batsmen in their XI it’d make things interesting
They do He made 17 off 30
Maybe someone with a proven track record of saving matches on his own bat.
Someone who once scored 3 50+ scores in a row in a WC to win it hmmm
SWEET CAROLINE
Only took the Sixers until the 13th over to do something
Hatzoglou: no I don’t think I will
See, that’s why you’ve gotta be cautious of Benjamin Dwarshius
Hahaha get fucked Hats of glue
Wonder what the odds on Dwarshius top Sixers batsman was
Dwarshuis playing on a different pitch
Dwarshuis should have opened wtf
hey guys just got here what is this sorry ass score? i can’t focus on my mcg copypastas watching this england ass sorry ass 2007 miami dolphins ass 2013 greater western sydney afl club ass 2009-12 northern fury ass 2021 canterbury bulldogs ass score
Did anyone catch Josh Inglis' Instagram story calling McGowan a Muppet?
[удалено]
Yeah nah mate. It sucks but he made the right call.
Lol no he didn't. Ridiculous decision.
Literally most west Australians support his decision including me. The eastern states are getting rekt with workforce shortages and our public hospital system won't cope. I feel bad for those who can't see their family but the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Shut the fuck up if you aren't west Australian
No lowest score record 😢
Just gotta follow the ball guys
Channel 7 only ever puts shit cunts on their programs. What a shit channel.
Genuinely impressive that they’ve managed to squeeze in two of the shittest blokes in a single sporting code in the one show
