[Ben's Beasts]

Have we had any word on when Hales and Co. are leaving for the T10 tournament?

And before anybody asks, no I haven’t written anything about it down nor am I scrolling through pages of info if it’s already been posted.

I think I read something that says Hales is only going once his BBL team is out

As well, Alex Hales ($154k BAT) has been picked as a wildcard by Team Abu Dhabi but the Thunder confirmed he will only join if his BBL commitments are over by then.
Likewise Thunder’s Sam Billings ($180k WKP/BAT) who is also attached to a franchise. Phil Salt ($114k BAT) and Noor Ahmad ($47k BWL) are also listed with franchises.

 

[Bomber18]

Double loop of Finch/Ahmed into Milne. Ended up with the lowest of the lot on field

 

[Jim's Dim Sims]

Billings run out gone begging

 

[Wolffy84]

Moises kind of proving the point on what may happen to DC's batting opportunities from here. The 6ers were always batting one short with J Edwards and Avendano replacing Moises.

 

[Woosie]

Billings run out gone begging

catch

 

[Darkie]

I reckon there are a few wicket points about to be distributed.

 

[Woosie]

oh that's a shocker from the umpire... same rodeo

 

[Darkie]

DC striking at 192 this season

 

[Woosie]

or Christian gonna make me regret moving him out

 

[Ratzondix]

Somethings gotta give here soon. Either a stack of runs or wickets.

So neither happened and they just kept plodding. Let Moises have a decent hit before finals.

 

[Pookus McFly]

I’m going to need you to explain that again

Yeah as Woosie said.
It was just a childish dig at the stupid scoring system.
19 runs off 11 balls is 19 points
20 runs of 12 balls is 45 points

Magic superball, score a run off that particular ball for a 137% bonus. Most of the balls before and after it don’t matter too much toward the overall score, but make sure you hit that magic superball!!

 

[Pookus McFly]

Wooo! Billings catch putting me over the 800 mark.

Gutted I went without Cutting though, was picking up some strong vibes from my Allrounders plan

 

[Wolffy84]

I think the 20 for SR rule was brought in to stop guys like Curran turning up in the last over, hitting 2 boundaries and getting a hefty bonus. Unfortunately, it means top order batsmen scores move erratically game to game depending on whether they make it to 20 or not.

 

[McLovin]

So neither happened and they just kept plodding. Let Moises have a decent hit before finals.

Is it a mistake not to even try to chase the total? These sorts of tournaments are all about momentum at the end, it doesn't necessarily matter who's been the best all season.

 

[Darkie]

DC quick 20

 

[Ratzondix]

Probably not but as a spectator it’s crap watching a plodding game with the result already known.

 

[mike89]

Be funny if it ends here - Philippe and Christian on 45 each...

 

[Connoisseur]

Probably not but as a spectator it’s crap watching a plodding game with the result already known.

Far better than seeing a side dismissed (or lost 7+ wickets) by the 12th to 14th over.

They missed a trick in elevating Carlos up the order to give him some much needed time at the crease.

 

[Jim's Dim Sims]

755 feels a bit neither here nor there. Will probably drop out of top 10 without Jhye captain Carey or Hales
