Craig Tiley is saying Djokovic had a 3cm hamstring tear during the AO and also won in 2021 with an abdominal tear.

Beggars belief if true. Love him or hate him the guy has some seriously freakish mental toughness and physical limits.

Craig Tiley couldn't be further up Novak's arse more then his missus.

Who the hell scheduled the BBL final at 4.30pm. Yikes.

 

[Scham]

Tye is soooo overrated!

 

[gaskin]

That runout was a disgrace.

 

[Dump Truck]

Gonna be tough for scorchers now

 

[gaskin]

Scorchers lucky as hell. Great batting performance at the end.

 

[serial_thrilla]

GET SCORCHED

 

[Scham]

What a game!!! Would've done it easier without Tye but how good Turner (the Freo boy) and Connelly!!!

I'll let the lad off for having one of Australia's worst haircuts if he can bat like that,

[Spirit Level]

Get around em!

Really hope they don't give us another team to nerf the Scorchers, seems like the kinda thing they'd do however

"A teenager and a full-time accountant have become Perth Scorchers’ unlikely grand final heroes as the Big Bash League’s best team won a record-extending fifth title.

Cooper Connolly and Nick Hobson etched their name into Scorchers folklore to help down fighting underdogs Brisbane Heat by five wickets in front of a record 53,886 fans at Optus Stadium.

The pair needed 10 off the final over but only needed three balls with Hobson hitting the winning boundary."

What a game!! Turner is just an incredible batsman.

How on earth stoinis keeps getting games for Australia averaging 28 with the bat and 44 with the ball has me baffled.

Stoinis is still living off his 146 at Eden Park like 7 years ago and selectors keep thinking he can do it again.

It was a fluke.

Turner offers more

 

[ImperialPurple]

SCORCHERS!!!

Australian selectors have always preferred "all rounders" who bowl pace instead of spin.

Lol at the salty Brisbane supporters on the cricket board.

The basic gist is 'the Scorchers try too hard, don't they know it's only a pretend comp?'
