Big Bash League

[irottev]

Hussey is the key now. This game could be a real close one. While Hussey is in Victoria favorites I think.

 

[drainpipe32]

There's still Matty Wade.

 

[aussie1st]

Hussey has put it well in truely in Victoria's favour. Difference between runs and balls is under 10.

 

[irottev]

Left Vettori's 4th over a bit long. Victoria's game to lose now.

 

[drainpipe32]

David Hussey, you champion. Daniel Vettori has done his job, but really not enough done from the locals.

We, are going to India.

But more importantly, we have an opportunity to win a fourth Big Bash title

 

[aussie1st]

Victoria are going to be hard to beat in the Final and then the Champions league. They still have Siddle and Harwood to return along with Bravo. Pretty random end though, a sitter catch left to drop and with it Victoria into the finals.

 

[CaptainOZ]

who do they meet in the final?

 

[irottev]

South Australia. They finished top so went through automatically.

Victoria I reckon will win it. Hope it's a good game. I will watch. Sounds like Bravo is out for it though and Taylor will be unavailable.

 

[aussie1st]

That slightly evens it out but given Hodge hit form then Hussey this game, I'm expecting White to have a biggie in the final to complete the big 3 returning to form.

South Australia will now play Victoria in the Final of the KFC Twenty20 Big Bash Final on Saturday in Adelaide

0ff-t0p1c: Are IanG and IanW related? :laugh

Hughes should quit NSW and join the VIC now, so I can support my home state.

 

[drainpipe32]

I'm expecting White to have a biggie in the final to complete the big 3 returning to form.

I don't think Cam White will be playing.

I hate it that the only time Vics get selected in the national side, it's when there's a big domestic game.

Although, They should be able to fly to Adelaide on Friday Night/Saturday Morning from Brisbane...... and then fly to Sydney the next day!

The last bit sounds a bit dodgy. Chances are White and Siddle will play for the Aussies, so McKay might be released.

 

[aussie1st]

Forgot about ODI duties, McKay won't be released, the SCG match has no backup bowlers. Victoria won't miss White's batting anyway, its been pretty ordinary but his captaincy will be missed. We should get Steven Smith sent over in place of White, Cutting and Hopes for McKay and Siddle.

 

[drainpipe32]

its been pretty ordinary but his captaincy will be missed.

That's my only concern. But Brad Hodge usually does pretty well so we should alright.

I don't think anyone is going to be released though, they weren't last year.

 

[aussie1st]

They won't, the 12 man squads were named with the Final in mind. So the players in the 12 are going to be there playing for Aus.
