BBL Match 1 Perth Scorchers v Melbourne Stars 15/12 1845hrs @ Perth Stadium

[Around the Wicket]

150 gives Stars something to bowl at, against a flakey Perth Scorchers batting lineup.

150 isn’t a bad T20 score these days, bowlers are better from the early days.. unless it’s a out and out road you don’t see many massive scores

Not the best day from Behrendorff today, nice late wicket though.

 

[freo_leo29]

Can’t field with only one arm and give half hearted efforts. He’s done. Also only ever takes red ball wickets against SA which counts for nothing

SA currently have 3 players in the test team lol

 

[MadMundy]

That's for leaving us McKenzie.

We’re talking about jyhe richardson here not Scott boland

 

[Around the Wicket]

Why didn’t Maxwell play

 

[NYRB]

Interesting for the Scorchers to use Dorff at the death so much.

Dorff is a decent death and powerplay bowler. He has been quitely fine tuning his skills around the world in this format. Not an anomaly.

 

[Plugger35]

Bananaman to the rescue.

 

[NYRB]

Why didn’t Maxwell play

He is injured. Picked up the injury in international duty.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Siddle is 40 year old… wow time flies

 

[MadMundy]

It's the reanimated corpse of Peter Siddle, good lord.

ETA?

SA currently have 3 players in the test team lol

And that’s 3 more than the supposed “powerhouse” cricket state Victoria

Maybe but Still Victoria’s best cricketer

 

[Around the Wicket]

His off strike probably won’t face another ball get on with it

 

[NYRB]

ETA?

They are saying he should be available for next game. (2nd game)

 

[MadMundy]

Also, what the **** has happened to the BBL kits, they used to look amazing, they all look terrible now and why do they all have that sort of rusty gradient and tinge?

 

[MadMundy]

Anyone give me an idea of what Hurst is like? Is he any good?

Low-key miffed that we don't have Inglis out there for us.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Clarke 0 (9)… his rubbish

 

[Plugger35]

That looks short from the Stars unless they bowl out of their skins.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

ETA?

Week or so, he’s injury prone these days with soft tissue injuries

 

[dumb]

Sids watched it right onto his helmet

Agreed concussion sub is that rare, it’s been used single figure times since it’s inclusion… release him for the game and fly him back for the Test

Almost 36.. on his last legs.. he was inconsistent in his prime so can’t see him being much in his late 30s

Realistically will just play the leagues after this year you’d assume
