No wonder the Scorchers are struggling.

Looked at the middle orders stats today.

Bancroft 255 runs at 25 with a strike rate of 109
Turner 85 runs at 14 SR110
Agar 49 runs at 8 SR 81
Green 106 runs at 15 SR 108

Agar and Turners stats are criminal.

The Hurricanes and Heat gaining big wins their last game and hugely increasing their mediocre NRR means this game is an absolute must win for both teams, a loss here would almost certainly be curtains finals wise. Hoping the Scorchers win however we're unlikely to progress past the first or second final so meh. I'm happy they changed the finals format this season to make it much harder to win it all from 4th (or 5th in BBL) and because of that only the top 3 will win the title.

Would not surprise me to see the Scorchers lose again....too inconsistent for me

Yep been a bit of a write off season for Scorchers.

Never really got going. Done well to stay alive this late.

Poor drafting?

On SM-G925I using BigFooty.com mobile app

Nah, the big problem is the middle order. Green, Turner, Bancroft, David, Agar have all been s**t, to put it bluntly. These aren't short term drafting decisions, these blokes are the core group of WA cricketers for all forms of the game.

The players I consider drafted in to make up the numbers are players like Jordan, Livingstone and Ahmed. Their performances have all benn up to the required standard.

Problem we've got wit the squad is that if all the potential middle order players are out fo form there's nobody else to bring in if you want to drop someone. They are all performing really badly, all 5 or 6 of them. We're kind of stuck with the squad we picked.
