If David has done his string it makes it interesting, Canes all of a sudden don't look that intimidating.

Take David and Wade out of that side and they don’t look as good for sure.

Turner bowls his bumchum Hardie who bowled trash, a decent captain wouldn’t have bowled him again after that first over

Never know they may lose a toss again and be forced to not chase.

If David is out for 21 days (usually the minimum with hammys) then doubt they win

Can see the Aus selectors being right across this with a t20 WC soon.

Correction: A decent captain wouldn’t have bowled him at all.

When was the last time he’s even passable as a bowler?

 

[largebus]

Pretty much a continuation of last season, a lot of losses in the last over thanks to braindead captaincy and bowler selection.

Replacing Dorff with a bunch of donuts hasn’t helped

Teams love to tank in BBL by bowling bad options for some reason... If Scorchers bowled Connolly his 4th over instead of Hardie they woulda 100% won the game.

Lolwut. We bowled pretty well aside from one bloke, a few of which didn't complete 4 overs.

The batting incl Marsh failing is a bigger issue tonight

Still needed to replace Dorff and it’s not like it was a surprise. Agar being a certain selection is still a laughable joke too. As decent as CC is he shouldn’t need to be Perth’s best spinner. It’s typical of Agar these days doesn’t even try and spin it least CC does.

The batting was poor though the captaincy was worse in the field.

The players don't care that much, they are just talking about other T20 comps they are in and how much money they are making

Will get Weatherald back at some stage who will be useful as Ward doesn't seem up to T20 from the small sample size but they do look thinner than you'd have expected. Webster will probably walk back in too.

I wonder if Webster will be released basically now. Can get away with Inglis being 12th/reserve bat. Beau needs some cricket rather than mixing Powerades

 

[Hamingja]

If David is done it makes it very tough for Hobart. They will still be good enough to make the finals but puts everything on Owen doing a repeat of last year to win them as lose the explosiveness through the middle.

 

[Hamingja]

Always thought Mac Wright was ok when he gets a gig.

Similar level to Jewell. Maybe a fraction below the level but useful and not a complete T20 dud like a few others the canes have had as reserve batsman over the years.

My player Ratings for Perth after last nights Game:

Mitch Marsh 2/10- struggling with the bat. He looks like his mind is more on national duties than this comp.
Finn Allen 7/10- did a reasonable job with the bat being top scorer.
Cooper Connolly 8/10- did an excellent job with the ball. Should have got a 4th over
Aaron Hardie 1.5/10- struggling with bat and non-effective as a bowler. Most expensive bowler of all the bowlers from both sides. Quite clearly is a player down on confidence.
Ashton Turner 3/10- some bewildering captaincy choices, muffed up the Tim David dismissal, as a distraction to Evans.
Laurie Evans 4.5/10- dropped a sitter of Tim David and looked rusty in the field all night
Nick Hobson 5/10- also had some fielding issues on the night gets a pass mark for getting the 2nd highest score for Perth
Ashton Agar 3.5/10- useless with the bat. If he is Perths number 8, than Perth have the weakest bottom four in batting in the comp.
Beardman 6.5/10- decent spell with 25/1 off his 4.0 overs.
Joel Paris 6.5/10- picked up 2 wickets on the night and was largely economical. Should have bowled the penultimate over.
Brody Couch 5.5/10- a slightly lower rating than the 2 bowlers above due to not picking up a wicket.

I watched the whole game and gave my honest reviews. I thought the trio of paceman bowled well on the night. Perths weakness is their 5th bowling option. And I sense the better teams will look to target that 4th and 5th bowling option for the rest of the tournament.
