Man if only they hadn't scored 10 runs from the first legal ball from the 18th over, hey?

Mozzie hosed up the run out that would have sent them into a super over. Had more time than he realised, throw wasn't flash either. Lee was right there to witness the failure.

A bloody well placed underarm would have done it. And he rocketed the bounce no less

It was hit to short mid on and the fielder pegged it on the bounce to Enriques who couldn't gather it and missed an easy run out.

Enriques had a great game with the bat and captaincy, shame he won't remember anything else but that.

Lee shanked the 18th over, and the throw was an unnecessary bouncing rocket, after salvaging their innings he basically is the only reason they were even in with a chance so he should accept the fact that he is only human as opposed to thinking he lost them the game.

Let me start off with a basket of chips. Then move on to the pollo asado taco.
That loving monstrosity of a trophy looks even worse in action than I imagined it would. They may as well have given them those toy guns that light up and make noises from the $2 Shop as trophies.

Whole last week of #BBL04KFCHCG was brilliant. Hoggy sledging the presenter lass at the end there was ace. Ten more years Hogger, you're golden.

Good crowd turned out as well, there was some decent chirp for both teams. Echoing sentiments here about the final ball, proper shocker of a throw to Moises but I guess that's what pressure does.

Eh, it's significantly more modern design-wise and it honestly wont take too long to get used to. The layout is confusing as gently caress though, they just threw random panels places and the same articles are on the front page multiple times for some reason.

If this was a full 50 overs, I'd say they were setting up for a go at 400.

Maybe they still are. 94 in 21 balls? Totally doable.

Awww, maybe not. Might have to settle with 350.
