Bancroft playing against his ex-teammates.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Yeah bring about her batsman in…

Generous calling Gilkes one

 

[candyapple]

Perth look like they are wearing red not orange

 

[NYRB]

Stadium looks about 35% full at the moment.

You are very generous

 

[LukeParkerno1]

The Pom helps Hales

 

[NYRB]

That was some horrendous fielding from Crawley there. Did the hard yards but not a great drag back.

 

[spudmaster]

Are you related to him or just a fan?

The former.
Can't say I watch T20 cricket, but was scolded by my Grandmother at Christmas when she told me he had gotten a gig and did well and I had no idea he played

[NYRB]

Not sure if its just me but outfield also seems a tad slow , im assuming with rain before the game.

 

[mblack42]

Can't blame people for not turning up there when there is a good chance you want see a full game due to rain.

We often forget that with Cricket. People aren't going to make the journey to say the MCG from Frankston if there's a chance of a rain delay or washout. Cause it's a long way to travel for potentially nothing.

It's different with Footy, with footy is it can be pouring rain and the game will still go ahead.

 

[NYRB]

Thats the Hales of old. Lovely off Hardie

 

[NYRB]

Back to back 6's. Hales taking a liking for Hardie and one has to question whether Hardie gets another bowl again tonight after that over.

 

[NSWCROW]

Brainless Hardie

And you have to watch us bat

 

[NYRB]

Thunder ideally should be targeting the weak links in the Scorcher line up: Tye and Hardie (6th bowler).

 

[CakeEater]

Wouldn't get my hopes up

Standard Sydnee weather

 

[NYRB]

Good 4th over from Perth, just the 2 off Jhyes 2nd over.

 

[NYRB]

Labuschagne and Khawaja playing on Wednesday against Perth- I dont think that necessarily helps Brisbanes chances of winning.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

There’s turn

Perth are hoping Lab plays lol

 

[Retzlaff]

Bancroft owes it to Australia to get a move on

 

[NYRB]

Bancroft has struggled on this wicket so far , 9 off 16 balls.

Bancroft owes it to Australia to get a move on

Rather he stays in

 

[NYRB]

McKenzie has a chance to knock off Ashton Agars as Perths number 1 spinner and potentially play as the frontline spinner for Perth in upcoming games. huge game for him.

 

[NYRB]

Khawaja is actually a pretty good T20 batsman, Marnus not so much, both would be an improvement on Brown though.

Labuschagne has a man of the match against Perth ironically in the BBL. But team chemistry is stuffed when you start reshuffling teams eg Steve Smith with Sixers.

Even if they do play well, their next game when they are without them, they have to fill in a hole.
