**15.3** length ball outside leg stump follows Khawaja backing away, flicks this off his thigh and it sails straight down the throat of deep fine leg, one of the only two boundary riders in the Power Surge. He charges in 10 yards off the rope and takes a superb sliding catch.
Usman Khawaja c Moody b Rogers 59 (47b 8x4 1x6 ) SR: 125.53
**8.5** missed chance a ball before only costs six runs. Length ball on the stumps, heaves this a mile high but doesn't get the distance and Wells takes a safe head height catch two yards in from the rope.
Josh Brown c Wells b Moody 39 (27b 1x4 4x6 ) SR: 144.44
**19.2** slower length ball on fifth stump, goes to slog this over the leg side and skies a top edge into vacant midwicket in the ring. Neser runs across to his right after backtracking from his follow through and takes a very good catch over the shoulder.
Will Sutherland c & b Neser 7 (10b 0x4 0x6 ) SR: 70
**15.3** back of the hand slower length ball slapped to extra cover on the ring. Khawaja dives forward and plucks this low at shin height. Sharp take.
Matt Critchley c Khawaja b Bartlett 23 (18b 1x4 2x6 ) SR: 127.77
**11.2** follows Finch backing away from leg stump with a good length ball, Finch is cramped for room trying to go inside out over mid-off and miscues this to the man on the ring and picks out Khawaja easily at head height.
Aaron Finch c Khawaja b Neser 10 (12b 2x4 0x6 ) SR: 83.33
Normally I would be way too stubborn about this sort of thing but are we all okay to just all shift to the other thread since it has double the amount of comments to here?
Ussie has to have a chance of a future commentator gig surely? To get away from the aging white male dominance. Plus he'd be better than a lot of them.
There's 1 beach ball in the entire crowd. Fucking disappointing Melbourne crowds. Be better.
Gone are the days where you'd find blow up sex dolls being thrown around Bay 13 at the original state big bash games
Normally I would be way too stubborn about this sort of thing but are we all okay to just all shift to the other thread since it has double the amount of comments to here?
I still can't get over how last night Dan Christian, with the commentators in his ear, felt the need to take a suicidal single to get them off his back.
I was angry at Sammie for playing that stupid shot, and getting out for the billionth time getting caught by fine leg.
But just look at that dude. You just can't stay mad at him.
The Gades batting lineup is held by 40yr old with a wet paper towel as his hamstring, and a former captain who had been going through some horror form.
Lol.. They can barely create a match thread on time with a functioning scorecard. The universe will collapse into itslef if they figure out a way to merge two threads.
I'm morally torn, on one hand I respect the initiative of making a thread oneself in that situation but on the other hand like three of the four people I've got tagged for their quality comments are here
Having two match threads is just aligning to Cricket Australia's cluster fuck of the media rights splitting the commentary and therefore the match discourse.
Worst tragedy in cricket
Slats did better than Clarke, even tho pup had the pedigree of being captain.
Clarke got passed over by both Fox and Seven for a TV job, now the BCCI have dropped him too
We talking Aussies or all around the world? Because obviously Jimmy Anderson already has his podcast and Broad and Morgan have already done Comms stuff.
If you turned the commentary and music between balls off this game could be ASMR.
The sound of the ball on bat echoing around the stadium is soothing as fuck
Cricinfo seems to be having some issues this evening, which was why this match thread was created late. Could be the reason for the score not always updating as well.
Do people ever show up for bbl outside of scorchers and sixers?
This is a semi-final, where I doubt even 20K people have shown up. The upper tier is completely empty.
**1.4** fullish length swinging away on fifth stump, pushes this uppishly toward Renshaw at short extra cover, who dives to his left and snatches this sharply at knee height.
Martin Guptill c Renshaw b Bartlett 1 (2b 0x4 0x6 ) SR: 50
**15.6** Marnus Labuschagne c Guptill b Rogers 23 (21b 2x4 0x6 ) SR: 109.52

Bout time Brownie.
Put a Queenslander in the commentary box.
These fukn commentators, get over it, your teams losing,
Suck them sweet eggs Hodgey :?
FFS Howie, that wasn't his first knock, stop making shit up!

Man you'd really want to have got SMarsh out before you had to pull in the spinners to crunch some overs. Pity they didn't have a shot at that
BBL everything
> Bye! \- Steve
Why bowl this cunt
Exactly. Reckon he can hit it as good as he bowls it?
Emergency thread father of Smith
F*ck your zodiac sign, which is your favourite The Knockout™, BBL12 Melbourne Renegades v Brisbane Heat Match Thread - Emergency - All the classics
I can't find another one even though this one was removed O.o
Why would anyone be watching the AO Final when the Brisbane Heat v Melbourne Renegades blockbuster is happening down the road?!
What a fucking over
Howie with a cheap shot.
Guy next to me has brought binoculars to the game. Can only assume he is using that to get a great view of ussies thick booty
Handy dots.
Maiden Power Surge over coming up.
Normally I would be way too stubborn about this sort of thing but are we all okay to just all shift to the other thread since it has double the amount of comments to here?
I went over but came back. They're both a bit shite actually.
You don't wanna know what they're saying about you guys in the other match thread...
Emergency thread is my real dad
Harper should have been a jockey
Emergency thread fucks
Copy paste other people's comments in both threads for triple karma
Is Howies challenge tonight to not say Shaun
Ussie has to have a chance of a future commentator gig surely? To get away from the aging white male dominance. Plus he'd be better than a lot of them.
I made what I thought was quite a good comment about a week ago about how nerds go to coaching and julios go to commentary. I think Uss is a Julio?
Was with you until you mentioned race bro
I wasn't thinking it was important at all but I am sure the powers that be do.
Doesn't seem like something he'd really want to do. Seems to be much more into direct forms of support and outreach.
Is Howie too close to the mic? Those F’s are a mess.
Need a quick 150 from ya Marshy
Copy paste other people's comments in both threads for triple karma
Oh boy.. It's gonna be one of those kind of surge it seems.
Pierson probably had a few tendies in his pocket to distract Finchy
That’d put me off. I love a tendie.
He left a trail of potato and gravy on the wicket
Posting the same comment in both threads for double karma
Power Surge wicket
Gades don't seem to know you only take the SURGE when Daniel Sams is bowling.
Why would anyone be watching the AO Final when the Brisbane Heat v Melbourne Renegades blockbuster is happening down the road?!
There will be plenty of water cooler talk about Neser getting some decent swing out of a slow Marvel Stadium wicket. That Novak fella is boring.
There's 1 beach ball in the entire crowd. Fucking disappointing Melbourne crowds. Be better. Gone are the days where you'd find blow up sex dolls being thrown around Bay 13 at the original state big bash games
Reminds me of how my last day of school some guys hoisted up a blow up doll right near the drop off area
And some cunt just batted it on the ground.
Hate that guy. He's at every game.

I understand it from a broad psychological and less cricket related angle
Jimmy peirson keeping highlights- the thing I never knew I needed
Pierson is chronically underrated
Toyota CEO getting a little restless
Jimmy Peirson doing legendary shit as usual
Ussie the Worldwide People’s Champ
Harper could have been a jockey
Harper should have been a jockey
He could probably hit a horse harder than a ball tbf
Jimmy up to the stumps seems to be really messing up finches mojo
Pretty impressive tbh
Gotta love Pierson. One of the all time wicketkeepers
I was angry at Sammie for playing that stupid shot, and getting out for the billionth time getting caught by fine leg. But just look at that dude. You just can't stay mad at him.
Why's it Predict Viz now?!
Which of these two teams is going to get the honour of losing to the Sixers?
A second match thread? What is this madness???
If someone told me Harper was in Year 12 I would believe them
The Gades batting lineup is held by 40yr old with a wet paper towel as his hamstring, and a former captain who had been going through some horror form.
Imagine if that BazBall guy caught this Smarsh guy before. That would've been nice
Ohhhh so NOW we have a match thread.
Anyone want to offer to hang my laundry please? I'm busy watching the cricket.
Weirdly I really enjoy taking laundry off the line. So sorry no.
I'll call you in 3 days when I'm lazy to do that
Wicked wings in the pocket > toasties in the pocket
Jimmy literally invented taking catches off Neser up to the stumps but Carey is getting credit because he did it in a test match smh
They hate us cause they ain't us
Does Reddit have a way to merge threads? And if not... Seriously after all this time why the fuck not?
Lol.. They can barely create a match thread on time with a functioning scorecard. The universe will collapse into itslef if they figure out a way to merge two threads.
Reddit is an absolute shit show of a website don't get me started haha
I'm waiting for "that's a massive six!!!...and that's caught!" with some BBL camera work.
What's the chance we could organise one thread to be for Fox commentary and the other for ch7?
Kinda enjoying hearing how crap Fox is while I’m watching povo free to air
I enjoy my listening to the 7 commentary but still get to see shitposting about Howie, Howie’s wife, and Howie’s wife boyfriend
Bartlett doing a job so far.
Not knowing which thread to post in is giving me anxiety.
I know right?!
David Sakker is one of the biggest fuckwits I've met
Not a surprise tbh
I’m putting my five cents on this thread having more posts by the end
Harper makes his first score between 9 and 50 since his first game of the season
impressively dumb shot
I'm morally torn, on one hand I respect the initiative of making a thread oneself in that situation but on the other hand like three of the four people I've got tagged for their quality comments are here
Sam Harper & getting out caught at fucking fine leg. Name a better duo.
Sam Harper must be one of the dumbest players going around
I wonder if Howie even played cricket, that shot was not timed or hit well
Harper just got given a one way ticket to Brown Town
Is that Josh Brown Town where you play a couple of good knocks and then get sussed?
BBL batting
Everyone in the emergency thread was saying you guys are cats
I should be so lucky
How to say a small cat
котенок
Ummm.. That's a great compliment??
Having 2 match threads is just practice for when the BGT starts and we have to shitpost in r/CricketAus to avoid seeing 100 Kohli comments per minute
Having two match threads is just aligning to Cricket Australia's cluster fuck of the media rights splitting the commentary and therefore the match discourse. Worst tragedy in cricket
Can't wait for Scotty Boland to clear up Kohli for a duck.
[удалено]
can’t have shitposting lead to negative karma
You miss most of the good stuff we post because it's drowned out in the r/cricket threads
Best match threads 1. The emergency thread 2. All the classics
They talk like Marsh gets rolled out to bat in a wheel chair
If you post the same comments in both threads you get double the karma
I see what you did there
Can’t miss an opportunity
Bowl Marnus you cowards
Current crop of commentators is 90s-00s players. In ten years will they be from the 10s-20s? Finchy but who else?
Maxwell I bloody hope, best on comms by far of any current guys.
would say Dan Christen but he probably playing for the renegades at that point
Warner seems almost certain
Will be the Slats of his generation
Slats did better than Clarke, even tho pup had the pedigree of being captain. Clarke got passed over by both Fox and Seven for a TV job, now the BCCI have dropped him too
We talking Aussies or all around the world? Because obviously Jimmy Anderson already has his podcast and Broad and Morgan have already done Comms stuff.
I was thinking BBL...
Khawaja maybe? Obviously Maxwell has proven to be good already.
Maxwell is very good on comms
Dang.. Marsh had a smooth hairstyle.
Bartlett… More like Fartlett 🙄
Give marnus a trundle
This is all Bazely’s fault
Are we back on this thread or still using the emergency thread.
All the cool kids are doing emergency thread
I can't find this one under new, if others also can't its not going to get much attention
If you turned the commentary and music between balls off this game could be ASMR. The sound of the ball on bat echoing around the stadium is soothing as fuck
Is this the right thread? Score isn't updating.
Cricinfo seems to be having some issues this evening, which was why this match thread was created late. Could be the reason for the score not always updating as well.
Oh it has now.
It's still not the right thread!
Why couldn't Marsh have just been a gun white ball player for his entire career instead of annoyingly filling up a test squad spot for a decade?
Why couldn't both Marshes do that??
should’ve played more ODIs but his body hasn’t held up over the years
Seriously question, do you think SOS is only playing good because he knows the final is being played in Perth and he likes a free trip home?
Can’t do a hammy if you don’t have to run
I miss when we were decent
Most of the league is indecent nowadays.
Shot Marshy
Oh wait, there’s 2 threads and all my top shelf material was left in there. Now all I’m left with are *all the classics*
Have you considered taking your medicine?
Fuckin hell the ball sounds mint off the bat tonight
Not enough people in the crowd unfortunately
both threads dead now that the posters are split
Two threads walk in. Only one leaves.
onya Bazley
Do people ever show up for bbl outside of scorchers and sixers? This is a semi-final, where I doubt even 20K people have shown up. The upper tier is completely empty.
Upper tier is closed
Any reason why? Or they just are not able to sell that many tickets?
They know they aren't going to get enough to fill it, so if they keep everyone to the lower levels, it's easier to manage.
Isn't that exactly the point I made in my OG comment? They cannot hope to get 30K+ crowd even for a semi-final.
Yes, I'm agreeing with you
too little to late
I'm conflicted on which thread to use
The reason to stay on the new thread is that I assume it will sort by new.

Bad bot.
nah fuck this thread
Brad Haddin says “they need to take their medicine” every match before a batsmen hits a boundary
Ball sounds so good at marvel.
_"Look at me. Look at me... I am the match thread now."_
Nerds can stay in here, Julio's like me have our own thread.
The boys are back (the boys are back)
IT'S TOO LATE FOR YOU, BOT
we back
We back boys
Nice of you to show. Hullo.
