⋐BBL⋑ Big Bash League Finale / We have our Winners / Presented by 'wasteyouryouth' /

[TSPrathik]

we were outplayed in both the departments
our openers are disappointing each and every time, maybe we should try in Zaman on the top

 

[Yash.]

To start off, Our batting has been shit. AB hasn't been performing to his level and neither has been Finch. Heazlett though has been a revelation, as he has been going off well so far. Kurtis Patterson did really good considering the pitch and circumstances.

Our bowling however was top notch! Nathan Ellis, Behrendorff and Matt Henry were superb while Nabi and Rashid did their job really well. Happy that we won, but it could've been a much better win.

Also, Cameron Gannon did play a beautiful cameo

A top order failures lost us the match.
Bowlers done well, shadab was slightly expensive on the pitch but picked up two key wickets.
Batting was difficult on the pitch though, we needed one of our top 3 to hang on, Cooper has wasted his opportunities though today he was unlucky and got run out.

 

[Na Maloom Afraad]

Oh man, that was gnarly. Hard to even look at that scorecard. Just when I feel our batsmen our gaining their form back, they end up throwing their wicket away - too many starts but not a single conversion. Can't expect our bowlers to hold their nerves every single damn time, especially when our batsmen aren't giving them anything to work with.

Need to do better, and need to do that quick.

Happy with our bowling effort- Shikhar played well for them but 253 should have been chased. Particularily happy with Hazlewood and Stanlake. Top order still needs work - for whatever reason they seem to be playing too aggressively for the total we're chasing. Mujeeb and some of those top order are on thin ice. Happy with Mitchell Marsh though, if he'd had any real support he'd have got us across the line.

 

[Neo 7]

Not a comprehensive win I would say . Wiping off their batsmen after the 5th wicket fall took too much time . But still a win is a win . Credit to our fast bowlers , except Rabada . He's just gone off the track . Seriously , he needs to tune himself about what's going wrong . On the other side , Sam Curran brings that dynamicness to a team with his all-round ability . Took crucial wickets of the 2 danger-men Stokes & Pandya ....

A delightful attack was on display by Shikhar Dhawan ! Cameron Boyce played his part well enough , to support Weatherald for the last 12 overs ...

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Full power to @mohsin7827 to take team ahead. The last loss was a hindrance but all's not bad. Next match will turn that again.

Just got the time to comment on Round 4's proceedings for our team.

Our bowlers were very good and they contained Adelaide, a team with the likes of Joe Root and Kohli, to a modest total. Amir and Arjun were economical and got us the big wickets. Adil Rashid was on his BBL debut, and yet managed to get the big fish, Kohli out.

Rizwan and Babar were outstanding as always, and Philippe's return to form was much-needed for us. The three made our chase a walk in the park. The skipper Babar deserved the MOTM for leading from the front.

 

[AsadRM]

For Round 5, we will go with this XI.

Mohammad Rizwan
Josh Phillips
Babar Azam
Callum Ferguson
Glenn Maxwell (will not bowl)
Marcus Stoinis
Arjun Nair
Adil Rashid
Mohammad Amir
Xavier Bartlett
Ben Laughlin

David Warner
Jonny Bairstow
Peter Handscomb
Travis Head - will not bowl
Rishabh Pant
Cameron Green
Cameron Valente
Adam Zampa
Kane Richardson
Trent Boult
Anrich Nortje

Rohit Sharma
D'Arcy Short(will no bowl)
Nic Maddinson
Rassie van der Dussen
Jonathan Merlo
Moises Henriques
Josh Inglis
Shadab Khan
Mitchell Starc
Lockie Ferguson
Gurinder Sandhu

 

[ABDULLAH]

Shaun Marsh
Quinton de Kock
Virat Kohli
Joe Root
Matthew Wade
Daniel Christian
Ashton Agar
Pat Cummins
Steve O'Keefe
Jhye Richardson
Sandeep Lamichhane

Completely clueless about our team's shortcoming, making a move by strengthening our batting order. Hence Quinton de Kock comes in for Shaheen Afridi and Matt Renshaw making place for Jhye Richardson.

[ddrap14]

James Peirson in for Joe Burns, Eoin Morgan in for Finn Allen, and swap the two's batting positions (Burns 2, Morgan 3)
