BBL Match 29 Perth Scorchers v Sydney Thunder 2045hrs @ Perth Stadium

[largebus]

Getting away from us now even if we get one of them out.

 

[samFFC]

Yeah we’d be odds on favourites to not lose another game if he and Green were available. No idea who comes in without them though

Agar could bat at 7 so wouldn’t need too much.
Bancroft and Inglis can open, Hardie can bat up order and Turner probably has to go up given his form.

Bancroft
Inglis
Hardie
Turner
Hobson
Eskinazi
A Agar

 

[Tugga27]

If we’re going to keep being 4/30 I’d rather us chase. Hard to set a good total from there but still possible to chase 130/140 if you apply yourself

I'd rather us defend than chase every day of the week.

 

[juss]

I'd still be worried as Perth if Gilkes and Davies hang around a while as they can also score quickly.
It's 116 off 97 currently, not an extreme chase. If those two get a decent portion of the runs, someone like Ross or Cutting can easily come in and finish with a little cameo.

Yeh this. They needed that 3rd wicket way earlier to break this partnership. It's too far gone now and the rest of the lineup can just cruise from here.

 

[samFFC]

Because we lost the toss.

Wish we had lost it today!

That's a dreadful line up after Turner.

 

[samFFC]

I'd rather us defend than chase every day of the week.

On what basis though?
One huge score but the rest has been great bowling and steady batting this tournament.
We are a bowling side, bowl first.
We absolutely can’t bat first once we lost the guts of the batting order. Full reliance on bowling.

 

[Tugga27]

Think Turner missed a trick by not continuing with Richo and Dorf TBH.

Yep we had to bowl them out on this flat deck.

 

[ep2018]

Need another couple of quick wickets otherwise this is done.

The basis being we're a crap batting side.

I reckon we can defend 160 80% of the time.
Reckon we would struggle to chase 160 80% of the time.

 

[gtrxuone]

Well done to the Thunder.Bowled, fielded and batted well today.Both Sydney teams are coming.

 

[Coasters7]

Think Turner missed a trick by not continuing with Richo and Dorf TBH.

Ball had stopped swinging by then I think, they scored pretty freely off Richos last over. Tried to jag a wicket with something different but in hindsight probably should have kept the best bowlers in

Feel as though you’d bowl a team out for less when they’re trying to set a target as opposed to chasing 140/150 where you don’t really need to get out of second gear if you bat sensibly

Davies is going to be a staple in Aussie white ball teams for the next 15 years

He looks very handy

 

[ep2018]

Get Davies and its game on again.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Good to see we’re developing some young talent there. Him and his brother would be handy additions to our lineup. Davies is the same age as green isn’t he? Maybe a year younger

Reckon we would struggle to chase 160 80% of the time.

But our bowling doesn’t tend to concede 160 bowling first.

He’s 22

 

[gtrxuone]

Can Davies be cloned.We will take one at the Scorchers,lol.

Yeah Davies a year younger, different futures ahead though.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

He’s 22

Great for the age demographic. How’s his 50 over game?

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Obviously green is already locked into the national squad and aiming at being one of the greats but more a role player to put alongside green in the future

 

[LukeParkerno1]

It’s pretty good
