Good game in Alice Springs today. Scorchers are so good at setting the right tempo in most games. Great game by Ashton Agar with both bat and ball.

And then McGrath went apeshit because his wife was dying of cancer at the time.
That was ridiculous, how the hell is Sarwan supposed to know that.
The Eddo Brandes one was better. "Why are you so fat?"...."Because every time I ****ed your wife she fed me a biscuit"
Amazing effort! They really are terribly depleted but still find a way to win. Not surprisingly the national media aren't mentioning anything about the state of their squad.

What has he done for me lately? He just got hit all the way to Trinity.
Great game by both sides. The Scorchers are the masters of tempo and timing again.

Them Scorchers! 
That was actually Rod Marsh to Botham.
Watch the selectors take him away for the international T20 games no one cares about just before the finals.
Wouldn’t put it past the selectors to pop the question to Mitchell Johnson and see what he says tbh. About 99% sure he has no interest in playing for Australia anymore and it probably won’t go public if he turned them down but still could see it happening.
I read some really arrogant comments from James Sutherland the other day. I can't find the interview but he was hey very dismissive of the Big Bash in terms of saying it has no bearing on if they want to take players for training camps for upcoming Australian duties etc.
Said something along the lines of playing for Australia takes precedence and Test Cricket has precedence over everything.
This is indisputable in terms of the hierarchy of the game in Australia but I felt he could have been at least a bit sympathetic.
The Big Bash been one of the great success stories in Australian sport of recent times and personally I find it far more entertaining than international cricket now. To just take the best players from teams at the pointy end, surely they could try to be a little more sensitive with scheduling.
Its not like the revenue from this tournament would be insignificant not to mention the shot in the arm its given the game with the public and the next generation.
Personally, I was happy with my performance watching the scorchers....
12 mid strength ‘Alby’s’ , 3 rum pints.
Feel bloody good, my over rate was solid.
Good pre season on the Alby’s before the stadium opening...
