Final tonight. The Bureau's latest weather forecast for Sydney suggests that the Sixers are virtually certain to "win" the competition, given the absence of a washout alternative:
"Overcast. Very high (near 100%) chance of rain. Rain heavy at times, building from the afternoon. The chance of a thunderstorm." There are also suggestions that surf conditions are "expected to be hazardous for coastal activities such as rock fishing, swimming and surfing". The possible rainfall is estimated in the range 90 to 150 mm (call it 3 and half to 6 inches in the old money).
Oh well, another twist to the Bradsmith legend - he turns up to play in the BBL for the first time in years and casually carries his team to competition-dominance. K will be pleased.

Pattinson made a fool of him and dismissed him quickly. (Patto, maybe next time you should be kind and bowl only slower balls to him, because he cannot handle "short" balls that are waist height.)
Zampa made a fool of him and dismissed him slowly. (Maxwell, next time set a slip to the new batsman, especially when it's one who has thrown you under the bus! Zampa, if a batsman gives you a caught-and-bowled chance, you've got to take it!)
A shame Zampa won't get another go.
(And a shame he and Khawaja play for cross-town rivals, so we cannot see them run each other out.)
Yes, their bowling is suddenly very strong by BBL standards. Lyon is at best the third-best bowler. Moises struggles to justify bowling himself. That's how strong it is.
Are you sure about those numbers? What were his innings? Are you taking advantage of a not out or two among a measly four or so innings? That is also an S. Waugh specialty (or so Shane Warne will always tell us).
The innings I remember, when he was humiliated by Pattinson and Zampa, he made something like 9 and 23. (Funny, that, huh? When he comes up against Oz national representatives, he can't hack it. Lucky he never has to face Cummins or Starc or Hazlewood.)
Almost as bad as NZ just losing 6/22 against India. From cruising at 3/119, needing about 6.6 per over, they were suddenly 9/141. They ended up losing by 8 runs. All this despite Dube bowling what may have been the only over he gets in a T20 international, in which he was carted for 34.
They're doing it again in NZ, albeit it in the ODI format - NZ has gone from 1/142 in 26.3 overs - and looking set for 320 to 330 - to 7/187 in 37.4 overs.
