The Big Bash

[23 YIPPEE!!!]

Need wickets now get Smith out

[Pies4shaw]

2/85 from 11 overs. Stoinis on.

Bradsmith with the evening’s first 6. Straight down the ground.

[K]

Stoinis bowls for the first time in the tournament.

Has he recovered from injury, or are they trying to give Smith soft bowling?

Smith tries to slog him (a harmless ball outside off) and misses by a mile. Stoinis grins.

[Pies4shaw]

3/94 from 12. Bradsmith is going to be left to do it all himself.

[K]

Controversy!

Moises is not happy. There are words exchanged!! The crowd boos him!

The issue was whether Zampa was inside the circle at the time of delivery. The TV ump decided there wasn't evidence he wasn't.

[K]

Now Zampa drops Smith.

Very, very lucky this innings, the Flat-Track Bully.

[Pies4shaw]

Bradsmith caught behind from Zampa. Game over.

[K]

The Flat-Track Bully's luck runs out!!

He's not happy either!!

Maybe the Sixers should spend less energy whingeing and more energy stopping themselves from playing silly shots.

At least the crowd does not boo him like they booed Moises!

[Donny]

4/98. Zampa's second wicket.

[Pies4shaw]

Maxwell back into the attack.

[Donny]

These inane questions to players: "What total are you looking at" ? Variations of same.

In a game where we sometimes see 3 dots, from a bowler, we also see 6,4,6 (or similar) on occasions.

The difference between making 150 or 166.

[K]

Hughes a tad unlucky to be out stumped. (But Ponting and Maxwell thought it might have been caught behind too.)

They'd probably settle for 150 now!

[Donny]

14 gone. 5/104.

[Pies4shaw]

5/114. 15 gone.

[Pies4shaw]

5/116 from 16.
