So predictable for opposition batsman. Surely it wouldn't hurt to change the death bowlers up.

If they get to 160 you'd have the Stars favourites with our batting.

3 overseas and Turner, CC is pretty solid.

Pretty funny that the Stars have four guys who play domestically (or at least played, in the case of Stoinis) for WA.

Nobody giving Hobgod the credit he deserves.

That's woeful bowling. Behrendorff ought to bowl out each game at the start tbh.

Few of the boys at the game sitting in front of me, Shuey, Graham, Mini, Owies, Harvey Johnson and I think Gross. Some other older guy i cant pick too.

Surprised Harley is at the game doing some promo

Finn Allen is a gun - not enough faith paid to this batting line up on here. Sure it's not a kiwi ground, but he can easily hit Stars out of the game

What do Australia do here now. The weather looks terrible for the next 3 days. Good chance at least 1 or 2 of the next days get washed out.

Go hard tonight and put them in or just keep batting & get as many as possible?

Keep batting. That's what I'm thinking. Forced into the 'follow on only chance due weather' scenario.

India really are a one man team

Geez I like watching Bumrah.
Shortish runup. Looks like Merv Hughes in style and pace at the point of going past the umpire to the delivery stride then just whips it. Genuinely quick.
And Glenn McGrath like with the seam. Just keeps it beautifully upright. Gets movement through the air and off the wicket.
Best bowler in the world at the moment. By a significant margin.

Wish he was ours.

Plus Paris is in the squad, and they used to have Coulter-Nile and Hinchliffe too

Can’t believe they’ve wheeled Peter Siddle out there

There's no way a guy with that action would ever make it to the Aussie Test side.

* That's a comment on pathways, coaching etc, not on Bumrah as a bowler.

Blokes still running around in shield cricket at 40. An true role model for the younger generations imo

Ffs you dumb campaigner

*140

Jennings looked like he was always gonna nick it this over

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Really missing the old days of blokes like Klinger who might actually still be at the crease past the third over.

 

[Barrybran]

Ffs you dumb campaigner

When you take six and out a little too literally

 

[Ochre]

I know random Poms no one's heard of is the Scorchers normal international targets but it feels like they've outdone themselves this season

Our strike rate with pom recruits seem so poor.

International recruits in general really. It's always been the local boys that have carried us.

Laurie Evans and Liam Livingstone are probably the two who stand out from our imports. Willey was solid without ever being amazing. Outside of them I can't really think of any overseas players who really shone for us.

 

[THE A5]

Connolly seems like he’s better off as a finisher

And then that lol
