Hopefully Lee doesn't go for more than nine runs in his last over. If he bowls the last over he might have a chance of picking up a few cheap wickets.
Scores (by my calculations) at the inning break: Heat: McCullum 5 Hayden 29 Hopes 18 Lynn 2 Christian 32 (+12) Robinson 22 (+20) Hartley 7 Buchanan 1 Sixers: Lee 32 (+12) Starc 52 (+12) Hazelwood 40 (+20) Bravo 20 MacGill 40 (+20) Smith 44 Lumb 12 Henriques 12

<blockquote>Quote from port_leschenault on December 16, 2011, 20:57 He just got you a very handy 20 points.</blockquote> Would be handy if Lynn continued bowling a few like that each game.
Was ruing the decision to leave Hazlewood on the bench, but it looks like coulter nile isn't even in the squad so I get Hazzle's 60 odd? My Team is D. Hussey, A.Voges, Klinger, Finch (Cooper) Gayle, Razzaq (Butterworth) McCullum (Triffitt) Lee, Doherty, Bollinger, Hazzlewood(e) (Coulter-nile) Probably expected a bit more from McCullum considering his price tag but pleased he didn't break his nose after that bouncer from Lee and came back.
I must admit, VS really didn't put much thought into the scoring system of this game - I managed to come across the Fantasy comp on foxsports.com.au just 15 minutes before lockout and managed to get a team entered - their scoring is alot better than VS, check it out: Action Points For each run scored 1 For each wicket taken 20 For each catch 10 For each stumping 15 For each run out 10 Dismissed for a duck (batsmen, all rounder, wicket keeper) -20 Dismissed for a duck (bowler) -10 Dropped catch# by a fielder -5 Dropped catch# by a wicketkeeper -10 Bowling a wide or no ball -1 Misfield## -1 Milestone Bonuses Bowler taking 3 wickets 10 Bowler taking 5 wickets 30 Hat-trick 50 # A dropped catch occurs when a fielder, in attempting to take a catch, makes contact with the ball but is unable to complete the catch. A player is also responsible for a dropped catch if he fails to make contact with a ball which is considered catch-able. ## A misfield occurs when a fielder fails to stop the ball in the field and this results in more runs being scored than otherwise would have been (had the ball been stopped). Bonus points Action Bonus For every six hit 6 Batsman reaching 50 runs 25 Batsman reaching 100 runs 60 Strike rate of 115 to 139.99 50% of runs scored Strike rate of 140 to 164.99 100% of runs scored Strike rate of 165+ 150% of runs scored Economy rate of 7.50 to 8.99 runs per over 1 point per ball bowled Economy rate of 6.1 to 7.49 runs per over 2 points per ball bowled Economy rate of 6.0 runs per over or less 3 points per ball bowled Bonus Examples A player that scores 76 runs in a Big Bash League match at a strike rate of 118.7 will receive a bonus of 38 points (76 x 0.5) for the strike rate, and a bonus of 25 points for scoring 50 runs. A player that bowls 4 overs (24 balls) in a Big Bash League match at an economy rate of 7.3 will receive 48 bonus points (24 x 2). With this scoring system, tonights leading scorers were: Haddin 168 Christian 118 McGill 110 Hazelwood 107 The leading team in the Fox comp scored a whopping 751pts from 6 players (Hayden 38, Forrest 22, Christian capt 336, Haddin 168, Lee 77, McGill 110)
Kick-ass start by the Strikers in Adelaide, gave the Renegades bowlers stick - Borgas 28 off 9, Crosthwaite 15 off 6, Blizzard 30 off 18, Harris 49 off 33, Klinger 46 off 35 - Heal only multiple wicket taker, 2 for 32 off 4, Afridi only bowler with ER under 7!!! Don,t know what the hell the Renegade bowlers were doing, conditions should've suited some carnage considering it's been damp in Adelaide all weekend. EDIT: Huge win by the Strikers - anyone with Botha & Richardson will be happy, Botha 2 run outs & 2 wkts with an ER of 4.7, Richardson 1 catch & 3 wkts with ER of 6.75.
Had Richardson and Harris so good result there. Hopefully the Hurricanes bowlers, in particular Doherty and Naved, can wreck havoc tonight. They need a decent total to defend first though.
