Is Glenn Maxwell insane?

You're captain of the biggest choke artists not only in the BBL, but perhaps in T20 cricket in general, and you choose to BOWL first in a rain-shortened match where you may end up having to beat both the Sixers and the DLS???

One of the most mind-boggling calls ever, unless I'm somehow missing something here...

Caught with Maddinson and Vince as well.... Worrall instead of one seems to have been the better hindsight call

Hoping Worrall finally takes his opportunity to swing the ball in this tournament with both hands

I think with the rain, perhaps expecting the ball to do a bit first up. Let’s see how it turns out.

Also, some assorted thoughts:

1) The only time the BBL Final was at a neutral venue was season 4, right before the World Cup. So the only reason for that was to have those grounds ready for the tournament. I know they used Canberra as well but probably a different pitch?

2) Mostly unsaid during this farce is the means of deciding the final - where the home team is awarded the final by default. Compare to the previous greatest farce in ending a cricket match - the World Cup final last year. Had that match been rained out, they would have shared the title!

No rain predicted for the next 2 hours. Hopefully we can get a full 12 over a side game.

Vince apparently is opening on Cricinfo?

Yep he's opening with Philippe.

Typically DLS favours the team batting second if you're expecting rain, since the formula favours getting heavy runs late.

How is it a farce? They are playing

 

[Ironhawk]

Picking Vince was a mistake - can't hit the ball.

 

[Darkie]

I wonder what the odds of a result are at this stage.

 

[IDIG]

Maxy into the attack and wicket first ball

 

[Darkie]

Wicket for Maxy!

 

[mike89]

That's a super catch from Handscomb! Wouldn't be easy with that ball...

 

[Pacifico]

Picking phillipe as C looking pretty good so far

 

[IDIG]

Argh just needed them to see out one more ball from Zampa

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Onya skipper!!!

 

[Darkie]

Maxy two!

 

[mike89]

[Bomber18]
