Big Bash League 2014/15

Talk last night was of Coulter-Nile being almost ready for selection. With the Scorchers' bowlers doing so well atm, the question is who to leave out for NC-N.

I'm thinking Arafat.

Jason Roy's BBL debut for Sydney is short-lived

Thunder in a bit of trouble. None of their top order have performed today.

Back on after the rain - now a 17 overs per side contest.

Thunder scored 77/7 but the D/L adjustment means Hurricanes only need 82. Should be a doddle.

I reckon Cosgrove would have to be the roundest shaped prefessional cricketer I have ever seen. Duane Lubcock (or whatever his name is) from Burmuda (the Bahamas?) would have to be an amateur, wouldn't he?

To give them some justification, it is the first game on a new pitch, new ground, and it is also pretty wet.

Hopefully, the Canes don't have too many worries.

Looks like the Hurricanes will...er, breeze through this.

yup

They need to get well ahead of the D/L figure in case of more rain. I reckon that is half the reason for the aggression atm.

[GarlicJam]

Has there ever been better bowling figures in the BBL (or T20 even ) that Reed's 4/11 off 4 overs?

Gul had 5-6 in world t20...not sure about big bash

[GarlicJam]

Cheers. That's some carnage.

Best T20 bowling figures are 6/5 by Arul Suppiah a few years ago for Somerset. Shakib took 6/6 in the CPL last year.
