nearly 1500 points separate Red in first place from Adi in 3rd

which is ridiculous, and shows what a pile of donkeys the rest of us are. Only Junior can hold his head high and look his dad in the eye (standing on a chair, of course)

I know the collective noun for donkeys is not a 'pile'......... but it should be in this case

Junior is insisting he doesn't need a chair, and he thinks he'll close that gap ...

I think I got a bit lucky on this one and the gap flatters me - I'm not sure the SA v Eng test series is going as well for me!

You make your own luck in this game. Brilliant selecting.

one more group game to go, then a load of funny stuff... an eliminator match, a qualifying match, a knock out match, a challenger and a final.............

your guess is as good as mine

okay... here we go

are you all sitting comfortably?

the route to the final

1/ the eliminator (4th -v- 5th)

2/ the qualifier (1st -v- 2nd)

3/ the knockout (3rd -v- the winner of the eliminator)

4/ the challenger (loser of the qualifier -v- winner of the knockout)

5/ the final (winner of the qualifier -v- winner of the challenger)

clear?

as mud, probably

perfectly possible for the 4th or 5th placed teams to win the BBL, but they will have to win 4 KO matches on route

if Heat don't win tomorrow, then Thunder might go on and win the whole thing with Sams earning 100+ points for Red in each of the 4 knockout matches

Goodness knows, Red could do with the points

Yeah, this makes sense.

To be known as the Melbourne Stars' finals system. Brought in because the Stars finished the round robin stage on top 2 years running, and were knocked out first game both times.

Or, was that 3 times....?

money talks, GJ
