Alex Ross has fallen off a bit of a cliff, not even in the squad.

What time does the game start? 7:45 ADT I assume?

Labuschagne has fallen further. Test squad a few months ago to not even in the squad.

Not exactly a 'T20 specialist' like Ross though. Ross is a white ball player whereas you can't say that about Marnus.

Not much of a T20 player

 

[Hamingja]

He bats, bowls, fields what more do you want in a T20 player

Preferably someone with a better T20 average than 8 and s/r of 80. In fairness to him he hasn’t had a whole lot of chances yet though.

Wonder if the strikers will wear a clash top?

 

[puntking]

cant wait for this to start going crazy talking to the misses on weekends lol

 

[HBF]

So good to have the BBL back. Live cricket almost every night for the next couple of months. Brilliant

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Finally BBL is back

 

[corbies]

What time does the game start? 7:45 ADT I assume?

6:15 local (7:15 AEDT).

 

[HBF]

Fingers crossed for no rain.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Fingers crossed for no rain.

And some Lynnsanity

 

[SSwans2011]

Fingers crossed for no rain.

No chance of rain.

 

[Wilso24]

They have the 17/18 finals replays on fox now

Man I'm glad Flem is on 7

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Strikers win the bat flip and will bowl first.

Both are pretty strong sides on paper. I'd say the Strikers are stronger, but Heat have a higher ceiling.

Hope we can find enough consistency to be a threat this season, but I'm not too optimistic tbh. Would be more confident had we not dropped Ross for reasons I don't understand.
