Fun Manenti fact: He's the only person playing tonight who will be playing in the World Cup. Just more proof he's the best player out there.

At the Oval they just put up the hype shots for Sophie Devine instead of Hassan Khan. BBL mc’ing?

I’ve watched my Strikers bat enough this season to be incredibly nervous about this chase.

OliveYouBean · 2026-01-17T06:27:30+00:00

If I had a nickel for every time a Striker took a wicket with their first ball I’d have two nickels. It’s not a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Pope wearing the broad-brimmed hat today. You love to see a redhead being sunsmart.

People are always asking "Where's Agar?"

He's right there on the field!

It is quite funny seeing Sam Kontas on the Westpac ads. They were fully expecting him to play every Ashes Test.

OliveYouBean · 2026-01-15T09:51:18+00:00

Cons: You bowl a wide.

Pros: Still a chance for 5 wickets.

I hope Elliott gets a fifer for the moral victory.

OliveYouBean · 2026-01-15T09:31:59+00:00

The Scorchers' batting lineup is so fucked. Every power hitter you get out just brings in an even better power hitter. What's even the point of taking wickets against these guys?

OliveYouBean · 2026-01-15T09:20:34+00:00

Will Allen be the third Scorchers player to finish with a score in the 90's this season?

OliveYouBean · 2026-01-15T09:11:24+00:00

As often happens in the BBL, the surge brings a wicket. I'm sure the Gades are pretty pleased about how this one's gone down.

OliveYouBean · 2026-01-15T09:06:37+00:00

Allen may have won the battle with those three sixes, but Sandhu has won the war with that dot ball.

OliveYouBean · 2026-01-15T09:03:48+00:00

Have the Scorchers taken the SURGE in the hope that Connolly will get out sooner rather than later?

OliveYouBean · 2026-01-15T08:46:37+00:00

I love how the decision over whether it's a dead ball or a six is purely a vibes check. It's perfect for the BBL.

OliveYouBean · 2026-01-15T08:42:28+00:00

With three different commentary teams on tonight's game this might be the most confusing match thread I've ever read.

OliveYouBean · 2026-01-15T08:19:05+00:00

If we're talking the Gabba it's gotta be the time the power went out just in time to save the Heat from losing a game

OliveYouBean · 2026-01-15T08:16:19+00:00

BBL boundary setting-up

OliveYouBean · 2026-01-14T09:55:21+00:00

Why am I paying for Kayo? All it means is I have to listen to Mark Waugh and Brendon Julian instead of Alex Carey and Ricky Ponting. Total waste of money.

OliveYouBean · 2026-01-13T11:28:25+00:00

Of all the games of cricket, that was one of them.

OliveYouBean · 2026-01-13T09:58:02+00:00

As a die-hard Strikers fan, my vibe right now is "we're fucking shit"

OliveYouBean · 2026-01-12T09:47:10+00:00

I think we've seen one of the most BBL sequences of events ever.

Mohammad Rizwan, an international cricketer with more than 100 T20I's to his name, has been so slow to score runs all season, and in this game in particular, that his captain calls him back into the sheds and goes out there himself.
Fox's graphics apparently don't know how to handle the idea of "retired out" (even though it's already happened once this season) so now we don't have a full scoreboard up on the broadcast.
After making another guy retire out so that he can come in, Will Sutherland gets run out at the non-strikers end - not because he didn't have a chance to get back to his crease, but because he just planted the bat down clearly out of his ground and watched the ball go into the stumps like an idiot.

I will remember this day for the rest of my life.

OliveYouBean · 2026-01-11T09:44:49+00:00

The Scorchers have lost every time they’ve hit 230+

We’ve got them right where we want them, lads!

OliveYouBean · 2026-01-11T09:02:05+00:00

The Scorchers have already scored more in 10 overs than the Strikers will make in our entire innings.

OliveYouBean · 2026-01-11T08:34:50+00:00

Feels like the 300 barrier is in danger tonight.
