BBL Match 32 Brisbane Heat v Perth Scorchers 1910hrs @ the Gabba

[The 747]

Three fours in a row from Neser off Morris, he should be batting ahead of Tall Paul.

He's very handy with the bat.

 

[The 747]

Not often do in T20s when pace is being varied. The 145 was pretty quick.

He's plenty quick enough for international cricket and looks a very good prospect.

But the hype (which is not his fault) was that he bowls consistently 150 plus. Have never seen him bowl anywhere near that speed.

 

[The 747]

The evil Dorf returns and Neser smacks him for a boundary.

Surely the Heat should be taking the power surge now while they still have a couple of decent batsmen still at the crease.

They will probably take it when they have two tailenders in which seems to be the usual tactic for Big Bash teams these days.

It’s an interesting conundrum that 7 were just discussing.

When chasing I like taking it late if you’ve hit the chase under control as it can turn it into a safe bet, take it 4 overs to go and get down in to single figures.

Batting first you really want it when it’s time to launch, but in this game the later they left it, the longer before Perth brought back their best bowler.

Going to be a big target

Going to be a big target

Scorchers looked at one stage in restricting them to under 160.....now this could be a few more than that.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Fair salvage effort this

 

[eddiesmith]

3 over surge for Heat?

 

[stormee]

Not sure why we’re bowling Richo here, he’s been just horrible tonight

 

[largebus]

Some very average bowling again from richo

 

[candyapple]

First time Neser has made more than 5 in an innings since late October

 

[candyapple]

Pie Richardson tonight.

He's been eating them

Maybe the motivation to win just isn’t there, Heat in the semis is a great result for Perth

 

[NYRB]

Jhye hasnt been economical this season, has leaked runs. More batsman are becoming smarter, knowing you just have to get a bit of bat on Richos deliveries , and they fly off the bat.

Might be 200 mate,

 

[amazingjoshy]

50 for Richo

 

[NYRB]

Ben Cutting a lucky man, punching above his weight with Erin Holland.

 

[NYRB]

Jhye Richardson goes for a half century 52/1 off his 4.0 overs.

 

[NSWCROW]

Deadset is Hardie ******ed ?

0-2 off 1 and parks himself

A Morris over remaining too

 

[sydney_gws]

I think Ñeser is a better player then Abbott. Should be in our 50over team they named today.

 

[NSWCROW]

Ben Cutting a lucky man, punching above his weight with Erin Holland.

In fairness, he's a " good lookin' Rooster "

 

[NYRB]

Richo saying only 4 Perth fielders outside the ring in the last over.

 

[NYRB]

Fair play to Neser this has been a wonderful knock to watch.

 

[NYRB]

Perth have been rattled here in the backend of this Brisbanes innings, misfields, dropped catches, and the players look a bit stunned right now.
