Hobart missing X-man, Bailey and Styris. Cutting not playing the ODI and Melbourne is pretty near Hobart
so maybe they'll allow him to play? if so this looks a bit more even than the current odds suggest.

No Perera for Brisbane also a big loss.
Birt and Shah need to show the form of last year as will be a pity if Hobart miss out with such a talented team, can go all the way in this tounament and well in the CLT20 (Top players would not play for a major IPL team - Ponting, Paine, Shah, Birt, Laughlin, Kretza and maybe even Bailey and Bollinger) so would like them to qualify

Brisbane can bang, and like their odds. HH are the more talented on paper, but haven't been showing it.
I like the Heat odds also. this is a 50/50 match IMO.
Tim Paine should already be back in the pavillion 3 or 4 times.
Riding his luck.

the question is whether that was an awful innings from Paine or whether this is a bit of a slow wicket. i'm leaning towards the former.
Paine and Birt gonski. Looks like the Hurricanes will have to settle
for a score of 140 to 150.
for a score of 140 to 150.
that was some catch on the boundary , one handed , brilliant
The good thing is, if Ponting stays out there for a bit, we learn a hell of a lot about what the pitch is doing and what score he thinks is a winning total.
Fielding this over could be costly. Looks about slow this pitch, and bad fielding could end up being the difference.
150. Par score on this pitch I think.
Some strange tactics by both teams in that innings.
Nothing in this still.

Interesting innings. To finish off like that just turns the whole thinking about what the pitch is doing around. Only 3 wickets down is the interesting thing, 1 mistimed, 1 beautiful catch on the boundary, and another catch in from the boundary. Paine in filthy form, the other 2 could nearly consider themselves unlucky to get out. Ponting was short, but Birt was 6 or out. The way they finished scoring so easily, I just can't help to piece everything together and think that they come up short there.
No need to go over the fence, just hit through the field. Wells suggests ball coming on a bit slow and 150 a good score, but he made 40 off 24 balls, so I don't think I take that into consideration too much.
A sensible approach and Heat make this easy. It is certainly their game to lose, and I won't be anywhere near backing Hurricanes at 2.08. Put them closer to 2.45 and think Brisbane win this with 5+ deliveries to spare.

Pitch is slow, fancy Hobart to defend this with Laughlin, Kretza and Bollinger.
Wells innings hiding how slow this pitch was but he scored his runs of short bowling(Very easy on a slow pitch) with pull shots with the Fine Leg up and some full tosses, Shah hit a couple of smashing drives of half volleys but cant play on the up as seen by Paine and Shah struggling
May be proven wrong but bitten off quite a bit on Hobart here

I'm sticking with my original bet on the Heat. They bat deep (Hartley at no. 8),
so if they cant chase this down they will have only themselves to blame.
I bet they are happy that O'Doherty isn't playing for the Hurricanes.

not content with foul and repeated misuses of the reflexive pronoun, cork seems incapable of pronouncing one of his favourite words: breeyant
Good decision by the Heat to open with a proper batsman (Forrest) for a change,
instead of Hopes. Pommersbach can still use his usual aggressive approach.

lol. Give us 1.35 here and I would get out. Still backable at 1.47 here
rotflmfao. This could be over quick smart. I was way overdue.
paine's a moron and ponting should be in his ear.
spin and pace are straight forward on this deck. medium pace and slower balls are difficult.

Great start by the Heat. Its raining 4's and 6's.
If they cant win it from here, they need shooting...

and what's so facking amazing about it is that it was exactly what undid him, and yet he doesn't seem to realise it.
Keep it on the ground, game is yours Heat. Don't you ****s read the forum? lol
May have called this terribly wrong and setting up for a big loss, best bowler still not bowled so hoping for a bail out
i like the approach that the heat have shown so far this chase , very positive , even after the wicket fell
Got out enough to sit me at average 2.60 stakes. Letting it sit for a while now. Hate the shorts, but trading out too... lol.
Ouch, throwing away 4s now...

Absolutely murdered here, beyond belief the kind of cricket Hobart have played, could kic Paine and Kretza on their balls
thats cricket sometimes rohit , no one expected the chase to be such a train so soon tbh
So much for the slow pitch! Heat could chase down 200 here.
And to think that Shah was pushing singles with 3 overs to
go for the Hurricanes...LOL.

GSM. So we got the Renegades v Heat, and Scorchers v Stars in the semis.

It really was 50:50 at the break - can't be surprised really
50/50 at the break? An easy win like this is certainly not 50/50. Going to win by 9 wickets with about 6 overs to go.
Shah blocking 3 overs out, and Wells getting 40/24 was the key to this game.
This makes up for the Strikers loss the other nite. And I've got money on 2 teams
in the semis (Stars and Heat). So far so good.

One of Hurricanes' big hitters (Blizzard) not even getting a bat didn't help them either.
But the Heat far too good tonight.

Laughlin was their best bowler in the tournament and he bowled in the 8th over when the game was gone, absolutely ridiculous.
Shah dropped a simple slip catch andKretza bowled and fielded junk, 1st 4-5 boundries were all short balls which were the easy ones to score off.
Should not have been such a straight forward game,even if the pitch was not as slow as Hobart made it look
Time to forget this game and move on
