That might be the biggest Heat choke I've seen, and that's saying something

Which means the absolute Juggernaut of a side, the Sydney Thunder, are in danger of missing the finals which includes more than 60% of the league's teams.
If the Thunder win tomorrow, they are in and Hobart are out. Thunder are playing the last placed Stars.
There is a huge gap in quality in the league this year. Scorchers and Sixers are a grade above the rest. For the rest, they are all pretty equal (all playing pretty average cricket with a lot of low scores), except for the Stars, who are clear bottom in a grade of their own.
Saturday's final should be the Grand Final and save us all a week.

Cartwright really is not a T20 player.
He’s a “nearly” players. Nearly Test standard batsmen and has all the power to be t20 player but isn’t. His FC class form is on the up again after a few lean years. Lets see if he can push for test selection again

He’s a really solid domestic Shield and One Day player; no shame in that.
Scorchers gonna be in the poo if Morris, Kelly and Richardson are all unavailable for Saturday.
Richardson so frustrating, such a slow healer.

Seeing as Richo and Morris didn't play, you'd expect us to bowl Hardie and bring Hatz in.

Hardie hasn't been bowling due to groin issues, he won't be used for four overs.

Reckon we drop the game on Sat, win through to the final and beat the Sixers at the SCG w/o Smith imo.
Connolly, Turner and Hatz can make up the four overs.
Sticking by this. We peaked too early
Reckon we get Smith out hooking on the long boundary and then go through the test of them.
I don't think losing 3 games all year could be considered peaking.
We're just better than most of the other sides.
I know, I just want one of my big early calls to be right for once
Was wrong about Kelly. Both him and Richo not in the sqaud
Assuming it’ll look like this
Bangers
Eskinazi
Hardie
Inglis
Turner
Hobson
Connolly
Tye
Morris
Behrendorff
Hatzoglou
Squad feels a bit meh. Could potentially connolly and bring Payne but with Hobson in the team that essentially 5 batsmen

No way in the world can I see Payne being left out.
Connolly or Hatz out of that side for Payne methinks.
Probably Connolly.
Or maybe 1 change, Morris for Kelly.

So Ussie's doing alright here. When does the test squad depart again?
Edit: literally watched him nick it as I typed.

Something about it not being a Sydney derby GF I think

Heat have set the Thunder a big total to chase 204 required to win.
They will be doing well to chase that down.
