A quick note from ‘BBL Insider’ - Happy Saturday!
Sat, 15th Jan, 2022
Firstly, apologies on the lack of content this week. Secondly, why…
Covid-like symptoms floored me Monday; then two negative tests confirmed my penchant for being a needy patient. An ‘old fashioned cold’ resulted, apparently, I am thankful for that.
So, here we are - Happy Saturday!
Today seems perfectly aligned with the upside-down nature of this current world we reside in - BBL cricket in the morning, followed by pink ball test cricket in the afternoon and evening. Last evening saw hot Milo and test cricket as an awkward combination! Conversely, this morning might see the ‘twenty-something's’ in Adelaide introducing their cornflakes to a Coopers ale.
The Adelaide strikers host a resurgent Melbourne Stars today in game 39 - both sides need the W to keep their finals aspirations alive. As we stand; ‘NickViz’ has the Stars ahead by a couple of goals, so to speak! Back later to see if artificial intelligence is working.
Quickly to Hobart …
Hats off to Travis Head, backing up his Gabba century with an equally valuable hundred last night, this on the greenest of all pitches.
Walking past Steve Smith, with the score at 3/12, you might feel some trepidation. 112 balls later, he raises his bat, kisses the badge, and has his team in a position of ascendency. Well played indeed T Head.
I hope to be back tapping the keyboard with more conviction tomorrow, and the days following. Enjoy your ‘upside-down’ day
