Strange rule last ball of game last night. Talk about exploiting the sub rule. Hmmm
Sub rule wasn't used.

probably the best use of the rules I’ve seen in the BBL ever - why they don’t retire players more is beyond me.
Strikers choked.. bowled poor, fielded worse.
Surely choking implies they were favourites to win.
This is a team that snuck into the finals, against the team that won 3 more games during the regular season. To take it to the final ball made it a thrilling game, not a choke.
I would say that last ball fielding was a choke.
I was surprised the last batsmen was wearing pads.

Typical South Australian mentality though - "we lost so we must have been cheated", yet conveniently got through the previous game after a sodgy catch on the khawaja wicket and it barely gets a mention.

Along with declining crowds since a peak in 2016/17, TV ratings also in decline with ratings almost a half of what they were 5 years ago.
Clearly past and present players believe the season is too long .

That should get them through the gate to see Thunderous’s next home game. TV broadcaster will be thrilled.

If they bowled them out under the minimum five overs would it have been called a N/R?

I see Rashid Khan is showing heaps of loyalty by effing off to the South African Bashathon before the end of the Strikers’ season. More money?

I would think for more money.
No different to footballers in Europe , minimal loyalty there as well .

Not reduced until next TV deal starts in 2024/25, when it will be 43 games down from 61.

Replacements last night did well. The Strikers still will miss their stars. Lynn is a gun still.

Strikers demolished last by Brown last night , a true 20/20 cricketer plucked from Brisbane grade cricket.
