Big Bash

[The Perfect Stranger]

So our finals side likely to be something like...

1 M Short
2 D Short
3 Weatherald
4 Kelly
5 Hunt
6 Bazeley
7 Nielsen
8 Agar (please not Payne)
9 Thornton
10 Boyce
11 Pope

Significantly weaker.

D Short needs runs. Amazing how Weatherald has turned his form around. He has been outstanding in the last 2.

We wouldn't have made the finals if Weatherald hadn't found form.

Agree we need Darcy to step up now.

Not perfect but the openers have gotten off to a good start most matches. D Short done his bit and hopefully more to come.

 

[Interloperer]

Strange that these T20 leagues can't align themselves so there is no crossover... particularly when have players miss finals to play in non-finals in another league.

One thing I've noticed with insecure sports/comps is they spend all the hype on round 1. Late season/post-season is an after thought. See also: A-League.

The crossovers will probably only get worse with the move to make a second T20 league window. Because nobody will clash with the IPL and they'll all squeeze into the other one.

Tonight's match scorchers v sixers should be the match of the BBL so far. 2 top teams.

The Strikers will play the loser.

So who do Perth lose for the finals

 

[Eagleboy2011]

That 6's team is one hard team to beat. Especially now it has a home final.

The also named the team of Big Bash tonight. 4 Strikers players.

Yeah, they sent me a message yesterday saying M Short, Lynn, Overton & Boyce. Outside of these 4, we haven't had much apart from Weatherald in the past 2 games. Going to miss 2 of our gun 4 for finals sadly, which will make it hard.

I checked the IL20 squads a few weeks ago to see who was leaving. Adam Hose was in one of the squads. But he is still at the strikers I think. Do they just not want him?

[Eagleboy2011]

Anyone have a list of the missing players in the other squads?

Perth lose the Pom who belted us last game.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Perth lose the Pom who belted us last game.

Apparently Evans, Turner & Richardson out for Perth. Latter 2 injured.

Darcy Short has been decent enough

Surprised Overton got in. He’s been good but wouldn’t have thought that good.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Perth lose the Pom who belted us last game.

It's going to be a good match. That Perth crowd will lift them.

Scorchers: Aaron Hardie (c), Ashton Agar, Jason Behrendorff, Cooper Connolly, Stephen Eskinazi (England), Sam Fanning, Cameron Gannon, Marcus Harris, Liam Haskett, Nick Hobson, Josh Inglis (vc), Matt Kelly, Hamish McKenzie, Lance Morris, Andrew Tye, Sam Whiteman

Led wickets & scored runs quickly.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Lost the toss & bowling last to defend a total is going to be difficult.

We don't have much of a middle order, so top 3 need big runs.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Both Shorts out early... so we are in strife with a lack of middle order.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Not looking good.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Great innings from Weatherald but dumb shot to get out. He's not a T20 trick shot player at all.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Need to pressure their top order. 155 is competitive but 15-20 short imho.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Given ourselves a chance with those wickets

I sense heartbreak though

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Inglis a big wicket.
