Shot Captain lol

 

[Chuckie357]

Piss this fascination off with talking to players the instant something happens on the oval. Let them celebrate ffs

 

[Balls In]

Spuds! Get your spuds!!

 

[BG__]

We aren't even going to ton up

 

[Andronicus]

Spoken like a true Pricktorian.

Guess again.

 

[StingBitten]

OMG Turner, how do you get out to that?

The Scorchers are so bad it's comical.

That win over the Renegades is looking like a fluke now and the Renegades are pretty s**t too.

Do you support the Scorchers? Thought you were in Melb.

 

[Crashy]

Nice one Hodgey

 

[Knox Harrington]

Has Ashton agar always been this poor.
I've never seen him do a thing.

 

[BG__]

How is richardson able to bat but not throw?

 

[Shifty1]

What's a bigger problem for the Scorchers? Batting or bowling. Looking at that batting lineup they should be a lot better than their performances suggest.

Mostly, yes.

Captain and coach.

 

[Shifty1]

Silk just got the beach ball and gave it back to the crowd. He is useful for something.

30350 crowd.

 

[Shifty1]

Captain and coach.

I also dont think much of Voges. Not too concerned with Marsh as captain.

 

[gtrxuone]

Can see why Saun Abbott got a national call up for T20.
Can Ahmed get some Sixers like he done a few games ago.

 

[drd23]

At least the bowlers got the game over with quickly

 

[Balls In]

Scorchers are a joke, that was pathetic

 

[ep2018]

Shambles of a squad right now.

 

[coniglio_number1]

Kelly outperformed the openers....

 

[eth-dog]

Kelly outperformed the openers....

Standard in WA cricket.

Batting for sure. They don't have the mental capacity for a run chase. They just don't. They are not capable of chasing down a par score. The bowling yesterday was OK apart from that last over.

I tend to agree.

Makes it bewildering why we keep opting to bowl first.

 

[The Speaker]

I tend to agree.

Especially when the first game played at the venue saw Hobart bat first and annihilate a table-topping Perth. You think that'd be enough to choose to bat first forever.

It just seems to be the conventional wisdom in T20 cricket these days: win the toss and bowl first so you know how many you are chasing. Problem with batting first is that you never know if it is going to be enough.

But the problem with batting second is the run-rate pressure building up if you have a bit of a flat patch, either a bad start or a bit of a collapse. Right now this seems to afflict the Scorchers. The only game they have won so far was batting first with a bit of freedom on a good pitch.

Don't quote me but I thought one of the commentators said the last 3 games at Optus were won by the side winning the toss and batting first.

I don't have faith in MM as a captain and Voges as the coach.
