Who is the Hobart Hurricanes coach? He seems to have a problem with Power Surge over and over again. This game would have ended 4-5 overs early with a power surge and NRR would have been positive #BBL12

Very charitable of Hobart Hurricanes to increase the confidence of the Stars in this way

This chase gives all the atmosphere of that IPL game where Delhi Capitals lost 7 wickets for 8 runs against Punjab. Hobart Hurricanes make an absolute success of a game they should have completed by now. Have they forgotten that the Power Surge exists? #BBL12

In case anyone noticed, another great outing for Nathan Ellis @BBL !!! 4-0-12-2. I can’t understand why he isn’t getting a national call-up. #Sick

Caleb Jewell I’m watching from here in England, as an England fan, and I think he’s going to be the next big thing in Australia’s white ball cricket

The @HurricanesBBL lost 6-31 en route to that two wicket win 🌪️
Really important innings from Caleb Jewell (70 for 44) at the end – could have been one of the biggest chokes in BBL history!#BBL12
