Hopefully rain stays away.

Hopefully rain stays away.

Hard to tell atm

 

[ep2018]

Hopefully we get a game, season over if we dont (or if we lose).

 

[ep2018]

Seems we finally won a toss. Scorchers bowling first.

It looks like the rain is going to stay away in Sydney to get a game in today, a miracle, hopefully it's a good one.

Interesting lineup, hopefully Fanning goes well

Finally won a toss

 

[Plugger35]

David Warner and Brad Haddin commentating on Fox so expect a lot of cheerleading for the Sixers in the commentary box.

Warner plays for the Thunder though so he might be barracking for the Scorchers.

 

[Coasters7]

Hadds trying to hide his bias: impossible

Commentary already muted for this one.

 

[Andronicus]

Looking forward to another game where scorchers are in a commanding position, but manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

 

[NYRB]

If its a rain shortened game, send Ben Dwarshuis up the order to pinch hit makes sense.

What’s the story with Marsh and Morris?

What’s the story with Marsh and Morris?

Marsh rested according to Insights Youtube on Twitter.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

One ball in and said ball is cooked.

 

[Coasters7]

Marsh rested according to Insights Youtube on Twitter.

Rested by who? CA initiated or Perth?

 

[NYRB]

Rested by who? CA initiated or Perth?

Pretty sure by Perth for the next 2 games in Sydney anyway.


Marsh will come back into the team for the last regular home and away game .

 

[Plugger35]

Marsh rested according to Insights Youtube on Twitter.

Marsh should have been dropped on form and be playing grade cricket in Perth.

As for Morris he probably isn't a good fit for the slower lower SCG pitch, he needs a fast bouncy wicket to be effective.

 

[Tugga27]

54 metre boundary shouldn't be allowed.

Marsh rested according to Insights Youtube on Twitter.

must have whiplash from walking to the crease, getting out for a first ball duck, and turning around to walk back to the change rooms/dugout

 

[NYRB]

That above post should be 18 Jan 2025, not 19 Dec 2025.

He looks mentally cooked TBF.

 

[freo_leo29]

Sixers bat bloody deep tonight

up to 10 and Murphy can fluke an innings at times

 

[NYRB]

Think if you have a child, the last thing you want to be doing is playing a game of hit and giggle cricket. Break will be good for him. Might come back recharged.
