It’s just silly to talk about the Sydney Sixers’ batting depth being the best they’ve had in games earlier this season, and Abbott’s nine-wicket performance definitely winning them a game.#BBL14

Steve Smith should skip training for the Sri Lanka series and play in the BBL final… Nothing better than lifting the BBL trophy in front of 45,000 spectators at the SCG. #BBL14

The Adelaide forward bowling team is so desperate, I really can’t believe they are getting paid. They should only get paid after each game. Apparently on vacation. No brains, no skills. Useless #bbl #australia #t20
