BBL BBL Match 16 Sydney Thunder v Perth Scorchers 30/12 1845hrs @ Sydney Showgrounds Stadium

[LukeParkerno1]

Nah we know this one. Thunder are ####en awful. Who the hell put this list together and thought they would make enough runs? It's Gilkes or nothing.

Lol at Gilkes being the key

Bloke is a comedy that flukes two scores a tournament

Probably not good he's the most dangerous and or capable looking bat they have then.

No he’s not.

Not close but it’s Billings just is being asked way too much this year.

Gilkes has had his two flukes

Gilkes, Konstas, Billings, Warner is the "cross our fingers and hope at least a couple of them will shithouse their way to a score" lineup.

Like Brisbane back in the day when they had a past-it McCullum, Lynn, Bryant and Brown - expecting most of them to flop but maybe one will come off.

Basically the same side to make the final last year...

 

[amazingjoshy]

Easiest MOM of all time

Noone other Turner scored higher than 33

Whole side needs a revamp

Gilkes-bye bye, sorry but he’s good for 2 good innings a year
Warner- as cooked as can be
Konstas- should be opening
Billings- keep but bat 4
Bancroft- please no first bloke to get rid of

Bowlers

Keep Green, Sangha.
Get rid of the rest

All rounders- shop the lot off including Sams

 

[largebus]

Needed that and the NRR boost to stay alive this season.

Fair but not looking like it this year. Warner and Bancroft especially are just wtf selections.

 

[Plugger35]

A NRR boosting win for the Scorchers, they will find it a lot tougher against the Hurricanes in their next game though.

Bowlers are worse

They do seem a bit stale, been rolling the same lineup out for a number of years now. Didn't realise tonight was their 5th game, 1-4. Some very very ordinary teams in it this year.

Worst thing with us is it’s both sides that are awful usually it’s batting or bowling so you at least have one side for some chance.

We literally have 1-2 bats and no bowlers. Really are missing Ferguson in the bowling. Topley is complete dogs rubbish

1 in 4 BBL games this summer have been won by the side batting first.

Right now I think it’s fair to say only 3 sides can win it. The Sixers look like an old and ageing side. This might be Moises last year and he looks well suited to the comm box in a post playing career.


beardman bowled impressively tonight, think he went for 27 runs in his 4 overs and getting a wicket. With a team requiring over 10 an over , his economy rate early as good.

Stars, Canes and who else?

 

[Tugga27]

Stars, Canes and who else?

I reckon there's a massive gulf after those two.

 

[Coasters7]

Agar’s time could be up if Connolly is equaling or bettering his contribution with the ball.

That's how I see it too.

 

[squirtle004]

When the Thunder play the Renegades it’ll be a cripple fight

It'll be good entertainment to see who can beat 15/ao

We signed him for 3 years so we probably keep playing him now

 

[Coasters7]

Scorchers batting on paper is the best in it. Especially if Inglis plays a few. They’re all a bit hit and miss but it’s hard to stop them all. Bowling will be the let down though. Did alright tonight but can’t see them stepping up in bigger moments.

Issue is the only other bowlers in the squad atm are Rocchiccioli and Jackson. Tbh part of me wants to pick Curtis, allowing us to have a proper keeper and bat to 8, but not sure Connolly or Hardie can be trusted for 4 overs. Maybe we'll play four quicks once Payne arrives.

Yeah probably only an option if Marsh was the 6th bowler and gave us other options. Having to rely on Connolly and Hardie for 4 overs each may be a risk.

On the other hand though, Agar has been getting carted more than Connolly. They 257 match, CC was actually the best of the bowlers whilst Agar was almost unbowlable.

Stars, Canes and who else?

Stars will lose players probably
