BBL Match 29 Perth Scorchers v Sydney Thunder 2045hrs @ Perth Stadium

[Coasters7]

140 not going to be enough at Optus given you can chase it comfortably with 1s and 2s. Our top order batting needs some serious work if we’re going to contend

 

[gtrxuone]

This partnership needs to be broken soon.

Who replaces Roussow and FAF?

To be fair you don’t have to most times as you bowl teams out

 

[Coasters7]

Who replaces Roussow and FAF?

Fafs been pretty poor in his stint tbh. Would be nice having C.Green and M.Marsh available

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Who replaces Roussow and FAF?

Joel Davies will play full time when Rossow buggers off. Warner comes in for Hales

 

[samFFC]

No way in the world.

We're a bowling side.
Much better defending than chasing.

We’ve chased 3 in a row?

 

[11kgm]

Fafs been pretty poor in his stint tbh. Would be nice having C.Green and M.Marsh available

So they lose lyth FAF and Roussou

That's going to be hard without Marsh and Green

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Been better than his bald other opener

Marsh is out for the comp sadly

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Marsh is out for the comp sadly

So is Green

 

[Kram]

The way the other commentators interact with Lara is max cringe.

 

[Coasters7]

Marsh is out for the comp sadly

Yeah we’d be odds on favourites to not lose another game if he and Green were available. No idea who comes in without them though

Bancroft and either Hobson or Inglis can open

 

[11kgm]

Bancroft and either Hobson or Inglis can open

Yeah just looking at all those leaving talent exodus

 

[freo_leo29]

Eskinazi has to be NIL

 

[Tugga27]

We’ve chased 3 in a row?

Because we lost the toss.

 

[Coasters7]

Because we lost the toss.

If we’re going to keep being 4/30 I’d rather us chase. Hard to set a good total from there but still possible to chase 130/140 if you apply yourself

 

[largebus]

Getting away from us now even if we get one of them out.

 

[samFFC]

Yeah we’d be odds on favourites to not lose another game if he and Green were available. No idea who comes in without them though

Agar could bat at 7 so wouldn’t need too much.
Bancroft and Inglis can open, Hardie can bat up order and Turner probably has to go up given his form.

Bancroft
Inglis
Hardie
Turner
Hobson
Eskinazi
A Agar

 

[Tugga27]

I'd rather us defend than chase every day of the week.

 

[juss]

I'd still be worried as Perth if Gilkes and Davies hang around a while as they can also score quickly.
It's 116 off 97 currently, not an extreme chase. If those two get a decent portion of the runs, someone like Ross or Cutting can easily come in and finish with a little cameo.

Yeh this. They needed that 3rd wicket way earlier to break this partnership. It's too far gone now and the rest of the lineup can just cruise from here.

 

[samFFC]

Because we lost the toss.

Wish we had lost it today!

 

[Tugga27]

Agar could bat at 7 so wouldn’t need too much.
Bancroft and Inglis can open, Hardie can bat up order and Turner probably has to go up given his form.

Bancroft
Inglis
Hardie
Turner
Hobson
Eskinazi
A Agar

That's a dreadful line up after Turner.

 

[samFFC]

I'd rather us defend than chase every day of the week.

On what basis though?
One huge score but the rest has been great bowling and steady batting this tournament.
We are a bowling side, bowl first.
We absolutely can’t bat first once we lost the guts of the batting order. Full reliance on bowling.
