BBL Match 25; Thunder vs Scorchers

[ioppolo]

Tonight's match up, the Thunder (2-4) host the Scorchers (5-1), which means there's probably more Mark Waugh tonight, yipee.

The key for the Thunder is their bowling, which is good enough to restrict the Scorchers to something chaseable/restrict them enough for them to fall short.

Will Ryan Gibson play? The great lower order batsman has had one of the worst BBL seasons by a player in history, surely Jay Lenton can slot in and allow Buttler to focus purely on batting?

Meanwhile the Scorchers' David Willey opening experiment finally paid off the other night, meaning Bosisto or Phillipe are unlikely to slot in tonight.

 

[PoopingHindi]

arent Buttler and Willey both with the English ODI squad now?

 

[Aussie_boy]

Yeah Vince is replacing Buttler which should mean Lenton replaces Gibson.

 

[eth-dog]

Vince is a T20 opener right?

 

[ioppolo]

Tim Bresnan would come in for Willey, leaves our batting rather short, again.

 

[ep2018]

Will Smarsh come in?

Nice article on how Langer improved WA/Scorchers kulcher. Hopefully Melbourne (the Demons that is) executives don't read this

Ashton Agar
Cameron Bancroft
Will Bosisto
Tim Bresnan
Hilton Cartwright
Tim David
Mitchell Johnson
Matthew Kelly
Michael Klinger
Haydan Morton
Joel Paris
Ashton Turner

Sydney Thunder squad to play the Perth Scorchers:
Shane Watson (c)
Fawad Ahmed
Callum Ferguson
Andrew Fekete
Chris Green
Jay Lenton
Usman Khawaja
Arjun Nair
Mitch McClenaghan
Kurtis Patterson
Ben Rohrer
Gurinder Sandhu
James Vince

Would say Bosisto and one of Kelly/Morton won't play for scorchers, Thunder bit harder to pick but doubt Fekete plays. Maybe one of Patterson/Rohrer misses out.

 

[ep2018]

Khawaja a handy in.

 

[PintSzedSlasher]

Khawaja a handy in.

Yep, too bad theres no Marsh to balance it out!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

No Gibson we are some hope

 

[Cleavy]

Scorchers bringing out those high priced recruits again I see!! Hodgey and Nannes won't be happy

 

[Torz]

Matthew Kelly and Haydan Morton? what do they do?

Kelly is fast-medium, Morton is left-arm orthodox.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Scorcher's best hope is if Sandhu plays and is allowed to bowl 8 overs

 

[Cleavy]

Scorchers bringing out those high priced recruits again I see!! Hodgey and Nannes won't be happy

it's those high priced recruits that let Bresnan get a game...

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Kelly is fast-medium, Morton is left-arm orthodox.

You want more spinners at Spotless

 

[PintSzedSlasher]

Thunder won the toss, bowling first. Vince not playing!

Scorchers have brought Bosisto in for David, Kelly also playing.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Wtf is Vince not playing

 

[Torz]

Wtf is Vince not playing

Has gastro.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Has gastro.

Well it could be worse at least Gibdud isn’t playing

 

[grimlock]

Strange comment since Willey top scored with 55 off 41 balls against the strong Renegades lineup

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Willey should have been out like 5 times though
