Hardie may have forgotten how to play cricket. This is bizarre stuff.

Ask CA.

Yep, not injured, purely elective. Wants to be pickable for red ball.

Because they’re in Sydney for the next two and he’s decided to stay home for a break.

Todd Murphy has the easiest job in the Big Bash. Only ever gets 1 over a game.

Scorchers expected XI: Allen + Marsh Connolly Hardie Turner (c) Hobson Agar Richardson Kelly/Tye Behrendorff Morris Out: Hurst, Tye/Kelly In: Marsh, Richardson

Wheels have well and truly fallen off for the Thunder.

Haven’t heard anything on Inglis. Hardie still in the squad, so must be alright. Finn Allen must be keeping, because I can’t see any other options.

Sounding like Hardie might’ve tweaked his side in the last game and may miss this game. We could end up with a side like this: Allen Hurst/Curtis + Connolly Marsh Turner Hobson Agar Richardson Tye/Kelly Behrendorff Morris

I think it was more that it was a surprise to be added to the test squad given they’ve been restricting him so much. Definitely fit and ready to go, if called upon.

You can’t be getting bounced out by a gentle medium pacer.

He is eminently watchable, so I hope he’s successful. Anyone with a high risk/reward game style is bound to garner critics.

Wouldn’t have minded seeing Bryce Jackson or Mahli Beardman getting a game instead of Kelly for this one.

Currently injured.

Webster has done a nice job so far. Given his job is to bowl dry and create pressure, not blast them out, he’s doing it admirably.

Wonder if they’re going to give Fanning a crack at opening and have Finn Allen keep wickets.

The duality of Steketee on display, swung the ball both ways early and is now serving up some absolute dross.

Todd Murphy gets regularly underbowled by the Sixers

Not contracted. Can’t keep anymore, because of his finger issues.

Until his shoulder, he was an excellent fielder.

Lyon Murphy Kuhnemann Rocchiocioli Swepson

Out with a fractured toe.

Yes, he’s played a shield game, multiple second XI games, grade cricket and white ball games. CA have been managing his workload for this very reason. Has bowled uninterrupted for almost 12 months now. Zampa isn’t in the top 5 FC spin options.

Get Jhye back for tomorrow night, which is something at least.

Only if you don’t deliberately deviate from your original line to block the stumps.

Zampa is a dreadful red ball bowler and Pope has a number of the most expensive spells in Shield history.

The wobble ball reeks of a smartly marketed excuse for bowlers who can’t get the seam upright.

Marsh is going to be needed at the Scorchers after the Inglis injury news.

Bumrah has been getting the ball to talk this morning. Huge seam movement.

Yep.
