Donny Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 If anyone's interested, this is the final of the Big Bash Twenty20 series. Added interest for ICF members is the venue. It's in Perth at the WACA ground - the venue for the 3rd. Oz/India Test. If you don't have coverage, you can get updates in AC: http://www.aussiecricket.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6534 Adam Voges won the toss and elected to bowl first. This was good for both teams as WA chases well and the Vics enjoy batting first. They are the defending champs and have lost only one match in 3 series, so far. Should be great for the crowd with batting stars - Dave Hussey, Cam White, Brad Hodge, Aiden Blizzard and Adam Crossthwaite for the Bushies and Luke Ronchi, Shaun Marsh, Luke Pomersbach, Sean Ervine and Adam Voges for the locals - all in good form. The match starts at 08:00 GMT.
Donny Posted January 13, 2008 Author Posted January 13, 2008 Perfect conditions. Hodge and Blizzard to open the batting. Here we go. :regular_smile:
Mr. Wicket Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 This is ridiculous - the cricket channel here is showing it on a delayed feed, so we'll only get to start watching in an hour or so. Time for me to ignore this thread and wait for the match itself. Bah.
Donny Posted January 13, 2008 Author Posted January 13, 2008 Wow! This is fantastic. Aiden Blizzard just hit the biggest 6 at the WACA in years - right out of the ground - his 3rd in a row. Make that 4 out of 5 balls. Only a 4 from the last ball. 28 that over. After 4 overs, 0/58. Blizzard 45* (16 balls). Brad Hodge drives a 6 from the next ball.
Donny Posted January 13, 2008 Author Posted January 13, 2008 Aaron Heal on. 2 wickets in his first over. Blizzard and White gone. 3/78 after 8 overs.

Donny Posted January 13, 2008 Author Posted January 13, 2008 Fantastic catch on the boundary by Daniel Bandy. 6/139 after 15.1 AB: "That's one of the best catches you'd ever want to see"
