BBL BBL|09 Game 24: Perth Scorchers v Hobart Hurricanes @ Optus Stadium 5th Jan 2020 9:40pm AEDT

[twotooto]

We have a lot of players that would be first 11 playing for interstate teams. A bit to do with the nature of the T20 competition but also payroll has very deep pockets and short arms. Think someone needs to be a bit more generous with the cheque book in future.

epic way to go to a hundred on the last ball of the day, D'Arcy Short, take a bow.

 

[Aussie_boy]

That's on you Tim David

 

[juss]

So can David bat lol?

 

[Gak Attack]

Can David get a duck just for the laughs please

 

[Admiral Byng]

Good win by Hobart. Perth muffed a few chances. The spinners brought it back in the middle overs but the pace bowlers were not effective on this pitch.

Perth won't get over 150. They can't chase. The pattern will be lot of very tentative singles followed by a few wild shots trying to hit the ball out of the ground. They don't have a middle gear.

Hobart doesn't exactly have the most deadly bowling attack.

You don’t become a Singaporean International cricketer if you can’t bat

 

[TY24]

David is in for one hell of a fines session

They wont need one. Perth can't chase down a par score for the last 2 seasons.

 

[Notorious_29]

Dropped 3 times or 4? Jesus, pathetic at this level of the sport.

 

[twotooto]

Meredith is going to be a handful on this wicket. He is lightning quick - just about the quickest going around. Should be fun to watch.

 

[ep2018]

Hopefully another spoon this season and we can fcuk off Voges and our recruitment staff.

Salary cap breach and point deduction is the only way your sliding below the Renegades

Sigh...Short & Philippe, what an absolute balls up by the WACA!

Either going to tear through the line up or the pace will be used for easy runs.

Very good total lead by Short but fear it's never really enough for the Canes bowlers. Meredith the biggest threat but his strength is also exploitable.

If the Scorchers are above the salary cap then I reckon it's pretty safe to say there's some serious money laundering going on. At least half the blokes in the first XI can't be on much more than the minimum wage.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Whats the over/under on shitty Qais bouncers that don’t work? 2.5?

TBF, guys like Short and Stoinis left when we were wining titles.

Philippe on the other hand was a shocker.

 

[juss]

I backed Perth pre game, but chasing 180 I have no faith and switching to Canes now. A couple of early wickets seals it for the Canes I reckon.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Perth should approach Ponting for the head coach role next season.

Hope they open with him. Gets a bit of outswing too + 150+ clicks...but yeah, agreed, could go either way.

They’ve got 8 guys in the 11 that have played T20 internationals

Yeah i'd expect Bancroft is on a million bucks after his 0*(0) in his only T20I

Punter is getting paid shitloads for his media work.

There's no way he would coach us.
