[Stig O'Hara]

Strikers win.

Let loose the

What a time to be alive.

Given their poor NRR, the Strikers took an over or two too long to chase these runs down.

Great win Strikers.
Good night's entertainment with Short and Lynn at the crease.

You would think he was the next Dennis Lillee the way people are talking him up.

He is sharp but not express like Tait or Lee and as I said before he doesn't have many other tricks in terms of swing, seam, slower balls etc.

I'm not sure where it has come from, his pace is nothing amazing. It's good but nothing to get excited about.

World class bowling lineup

A typical, clinical Strikers' performance

Chasing it down in 16 overs is nothing to sniff at

I'm probably biased because I go for the Scorchers...but part of why we're so successful is we 'generally' don't need the same people to perform each time, someone else tends to step up. Time will tell of couse!

So apparently tonight we didn't have 'that' person didn't stand up!

Very well done Strikers.

Great performance by the Strikers. What a turn around in a couple of days.

Just had to fix up those last 5 overs when bowling

Using Short more seemed to work well no idea why he hasn't bowled more this BBL

One of the rare wins where you feel comfortable the entire match.

 

[largebus]

Too good. I'll wait till Monday to see if it's a worrying trend.

I will say the dropped catches seem to be stacking up this season

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Ryan Harris mentioned that we conceded 106 off the final 6 overs last game haha

Perfect GIF considering he's strutting like that while his team is getting flogged lol.

Good result for the BBL
CA would love to see Strikers wins and a run for finals,contention.
This has been a great BBL season.Tv rating up hugely on last year.Solid crowds all over the country.And a close season finish will only increase interest.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Pope and Hose in the same line-up.

I know they’ve played on some pretty flat wickets but can’t knock the Strikers batting this year. Short has 5 fifties in 6 knocks which has to be close to a record, remarkable consistency.

 

[NYRB]

Perth have a fairly tough run home and they are no certs to finish top 2 right now.

Home Run: Thunder (Showgrounds), Brisbane (GABBA), Brisbane (Perth Stadium), Sixers (Perth Stadium)

Zak Crawley wont be there for the last 2 games. And you sense with Perth if you get into number 6 onwards , you can really expose them. eg Cooper Connolly, Ashton Agar at 6 and 7. Turner obviously a big loss, do the Scorchers get back Mitch Marsh or/and Cam Green like Steve Smith for the Sixers? (Looking at @HoneyballBBL there is no mention of Marsh or Green so i assume they wont take part in Scorchers final few fixtures)

With the weather not looking great for Sydney on next Monday, a 1 point result there , could open up that 2nd spot to Sixers.

If you don't get 200 against the Strikers you can pretty much kiss the game goodbye.

If you don't get 200 at Adelaide Oval you can pretty much kiss the game goodbye.

I don’t think Cam Green is in the Scorchers squad

So when do we get Travis & Alex back???

Old Trav celebrates hard so maybe he misses on Tuesday.

I did hear Trav in an interview recently say that Jan 9 would be the game he might potentially play. With the Test likely ending today, I reckon it increases the chances him and Carey play on Tuesday. Move Darcy Short down the order and Head opens; Carey replaces Nielsen.

Take even just 20 off that and I think we likely chase that down fairly comfortably, Short and Kelly were cruising but had to take more risks because of how many the Scorchers got in the last few overs. Sixers loss hurts the most though, should have chased that down.

Hopefully Head puts a bit of effort in this season. Carey for Nielsen improves the team by that much it isn't funny.
