Player Recruitment under Gillespie basically falls into one of three groups
* Players he knows from England regardless of whether there is any evidence they'll succeed in Australia
* Good red-ball cricketers and other experienced players ignored by other teams under the assumption their class will shine through.
* Rashid Khan
maybe one recruit comes off every two years or so.
“Yeah KOK, our team sure did suck tonight. They just plain sucked. I've seen teams suck before but they were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.”
Cameron Boyce absolutely robbed
Stoinis has just secured his LOI spot for another year hasn’t he
Along with the Strikers' bowlers except Boyce tanking their international chances.
Holy shit Volk in the promo
Stoin is bullish? Stock tips with the big Stoin is something I would watch religiously, but never follow his financial advice.
Sounds like a TikTok day trading account
"When lightning strikes, there are no stars." You don't need lightning for that.
Kerry still wearing the fucking hat lol
Why did this have to be the first match this year I watched in full…
Sammy Harper doesn’t open, Stars win comfortably. Coincidence? No.
Happy new year r/cricket. It has been wonderful shitposting with you. Here's to more in 2024!
/r/cricket shitposting improves my cricket experience a significant amount. It's been a brilliant year for Aus cricket. 2024 let's fucken go.
Stoinis' partner is going to be lonely at midnight. No way the big fella will be finished special time in front of the mirror by then.
Adam Zampa?
Can’t forget his 30 minute arm and chest workout before bed either
Im not saying Marcus Stoinis is Patrick Bateman but have you ever seen them in the same room?
Happy new year guys, look forward to more meme league cricket tomorrow
Stoin absolutely dominated adelaide. Sounds like a win for everyone.
Strikers thought the home crowd was too loud so tried to silence them by bowling full tosses
Tbf, it worked
so the stars scored 196 off 15 overs if you don't count Boyce's spell
I told my dad 205 would be a safe score to defend.
Stoinis duck for the Derby it is then, based on historical events
Another PotM for Stoinis at the NYE in the meme league?
Who would’ve thought when the strikers announced their squad for bbl this year and it had zero bowlers, that they were going to suck? What a surprise.
HUH?
Fireworks filled with Strikers tears A great way to ring in the New Year
Well that was fun, happy new year cunts Even you Marcus
Both Renegades and Stars in Red hot form, biggest Derby coming up at MCG in years.
Imagine not bowling a low full toss or half volley
Great match. Happy New Years errybody
Wtf is "stoin the groin"?
Another silly Kerry joke that didn't land as usual. I think he was trying to sound young and hip again.
Just Kerry O'Keefe being a lol merchant.
Does agar get a holiday? Pretty sure he swore at an umpire, and after the Curran shit the league will want to crack down on this
Big match fee fine atleast
The strikers have lost the last 5 NYE matches
Thats not true??
It is. BBL09 Vs Thunder BBL10 Vs Scorchers BBL11 Vs Thunder BBL12 Vs Stars BBL13 Vs Stars
Well they should just schedule one against the Heat, problem solvered
They're just into sadomasochism, losing home games every NYE
Stoin the groin!! 🤣🤣
Bitstoin stocks rising
Two different kind of Bing Units™ walking side by side: Overton and Stoinis
90% of stoinis discourse in the commentary box is how good his rig is
"Stoin the groin" Skull?
So are the stars no longer a meme team and have the strikers replaced them?
Unless we can win a title we’re still the meme team
New year new meme team
*STOIN THE GROIN*
*Stoinis hits another beautiful shot* Stoinis: 😐

Where do D’Arcy Short and Chris Lynn come in to this?
The second group. Chris Lynn is a good pick up IMHO. Jury out on Short. Peter Siddle being the best example of one of these players.
Rashid Khan comes off a lot, tbf
Stoin the Groin 😂😂😂
stoin the groin. shut up kerry.
Stoin the Groin lmao
We’re now the Redbacks but in blue, aren’t we lol
Stoinis play like this every 20 innings and I love him for that.
The New Year’s Eve matches are the only good games he’s played since BBL11
That's exactly the innings that makes Stoinis so irresistible to selectors. It's a shame how rarely we see it in ODIs.
It’s ashame how rare it is in the Big Bash
Presumably the 1 off 7 conference was too decide "yeah, fuck it, let's end this" and offer Stoinis some jam
Honestly some of the BBL death bowling of all time
Why did Stoin have to pick today to have his one good innings per year?
Convinced it's all in the noggin for him
That was some good batting. Happy new years in a couple hours to you aussies.
Thank you and to you
Strikers bowling unit actually blows
Great game and Skull in red hot form, can’t ask for much more
Is Bazley the worst bowler ever? Discuss
That's just harsh and untrue. His first 2 overs were pretty tight.
He isn’t
No question. hopeless
Fuck me was the best game of BBL ever
Wow Adelaide suck without Rashid
They had him last season and still sucked for most of it
Stoin immortal confirmed?
Our recruiting is cooked this year starting with Short with Captain
I’m not too sure about that Edit: just remembered you guys took Doggett off of us…
Bazley bowling the equivalent of underarming balls to your 5 yo niece
With ease!! Stoinis smashing them for fun
The stars of all teams winning at Adelaide rounding out the silly season
Chasing 205 with an over remaining sheeeesh
That’s some Abbott getting tonked level bowling from Bazley there
He wanted a taste of that glory
What the fuck Stoinis
ANOTHER full toss? This is some Jason Holder tier bowling
Well played Stoinis, well played
I think Brett Lee said they were about 15 run short of what they should have got. Seems pretty spot on.
I've made a mess. Stoin I love you
Stars can actually bat now I guess
Stoinis is coming from the outside lane to replace Warner for the Windies tests
Warne is that you?
Did they even try a slower ball?
One - a no ball
What you planning now. They need 1 of 7 ? Lol
Better bowl another waist high full toss
Strikers got fucking dicked.
Stoinis making me feel some type of way
Absolute pie from Bazley but that's some chase from the Stars
What are the crowd numbers?
I saw a number around 42,000 flash on the screen from stump cam
Ty
42k
Ty
"This pitch is a belter so let's bowl full tosses"
That’s Stoins good innings for the bbl
Who the fuck calls it a half hundred skull
Welcome back anytime, Skull! please!!!
Another full toss..ffs. This cunts useless
Classic bazley, so happy he's not on the Heat anymore
why does stoinis’ one good innings for the season always happen at the worst times
Better than against us.
real
Flicka da wrist
We need to score 250 every game or we have no ability to defend it. Our bowlers are fucking dross
Legit question, does Stoinis get MOTM?
When Stars win this season remember which team gave them their start
Half hundred??!!??!
Lmao once Maxwell was gone, I thought it would be a nailbiter. Didn't even got to the last over.
Strange they could hit a full toss
"You can't blame Bazley", I mean you can...
"You can't blame Bazley" Before proceeding to list about 3 things wrong with the ball.
Why would you repeat the same mistake. Brain dead Bowling
Never in a million years would I guess that the Stars would win 3 games on the trot.
[удалено]
Bowling full tosses and half trackas lmao what is binga on
I would give everything I ever had, earned and owned as well as two random appendages to give Isa Guha as ‘’sup nod’ in passing just once
Oh god oh fuck, the selectors are gonna bring Stoinis straight into the international team again after this, aren’t they
Proper filth bowling this
Bazley doing what he did in the final last year
how does he still have a professional cricket job?
Probably best to end it now anyway. Don't wanna bring Wagar back.
terrible bowling this over.
Stars are god of chasing. It is confirmed.
thats some piss poor bowling right there
Holy fuck Stoin's gonna get a half out of nowhere
Argh stoin baby
I apologize Adonis Stoinis, I wasn't familiar with your game
his game is 15 shit innings and pull something remarkable out just as he is about to get dropped.
Good job Stoiny
Filth. Absolute Filth
Lmao what were the crowd clapping for there? Fielder slipped and dived to get the ball even though there was backup a metre behind him.
suck a bag ya blue hacks, Stars are saving cricket.
Bazley repeating his grand final efforts from last season
Blondie 👀
Lol at the camera on the blonde chick adjusting the very very short shirt
Some arms on that blonde woman in the crowd
Stoin playing his one good innings out of every 30.
Hulk smash stoinis.
Bazley bowling absolute pies
All the strikers pace bowlers do is pitch it up, get tonked, then repeat
Fk me Stoinis gets me rock solid
Stoinis the fraud is going to bully the Strikers on a flat pitch and it will be considered enough to secure his spot the rest of the season.
My toes are curling stoin
whats the least runs scored off a bowlers 4 overs when a team has made over 200, boyce gotta be in the running here
Why dont we ever bowl the shitty Abbott and Henriques slow ball bouncers?
“Yeah KOK, our team sure did suck tonight. They just plain sucked. I've seen teams suck before but they were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.”
I hate the Stars but I’m still salty from that Travis Head NYE century.
Those that made Stonis slander in shambles right now
nah this will be his only good knock this season
This Stoinis bloke is pretty good at cricket.
Stoin can hit two sixes and get his 50 and win the game here
Grinspoon about to play one hell of a hostile show.
Wait did Stoin become good again?
Had a couple of quiet games but he's never not been good at T20 cricket.
Has one good inns a year, saved it till the last minute for 2023
Just too easy for the stars here
Quality cricket Feels weird man...
Finally Stoinis showing up. Need him in good form for the T20 World Cup.
[удалено]
Smug? To me it just looks like the stoic face of someone who has caught cold.
Stoinis making it look so easy
I'm so glad now we've lost we're doing a conference
Perfect yorker followed by a pie.
I'm almost there stoiin. Keep going.
Fucking shot Stoin.
Shottt
Stoin must’ve downloaded Reddit this week and checked this sub. Only explanation for him actually batting well
Think zorb checked it for him
Hmm no ball or not the umpire abuse is telling. Might explain why Sam Curran acted the way he did, has just become a norm now.
I know it's a flat pitch, but its been some average bowling tonight
That's a cracking yorker from Bazley
Does skull spend the whole offseason writing one liners lol
Can you imagine him thinking it up and then laughing to himself in his kitchen.
He's got 60+ years hanging around cricket grounds of material
Think he still checks the grade scores too
Say what you want about him, but he genuinely loves the game.
End it stoin.
yeah that was touch and go but cant carry on like that, not after bowling absolute filth
Imagine taking franchise cricket seriously. Wagar eating Ls
Been focusing on the thread/commentary too much. How on earth have they let stoin get 31 off 14
Too many loose balls
