Strikers batting lineup is staking its claim for number 1 status.
Both of these sides need to keep up.

[ep2018]

Scorchers chose to bowl first, I mean it worked for us last time.

Only 2 imports playing tonight and one is essentially an Aussie, has to be a BBL first.

Steketee and Swepson dropped, at least the Heat are trying something, it's only taken them about 8 years. Keen to see how Spencer Johnson goes. I'd say both Renshaw and Marnus roll the arm over at one stage tonight.

Morris dropped for agar?

 

[NYRB]

Morris dropped for agar?

I assume so

 

[Torz]

Morris dropped for agar?

Morris dropped for Hatz. Agar in for Connolly.

Dropping McSweeney is vintage Heat. The fact that it's been pretty much the same few blokes in charge of Heat for over decade of mediocrity is an indictment on the club.

 

[RedTinMania]

Yessssssssssss Spencer Johnson

Yea I don't get how Whitely gets a game. An allrounder who makes no runs and barely bowls.

 

[Around the Wicket]

If the Big Bash had this all the time it'd be a decent comp, need some internationals.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Harsh by Khawaja saying "not much spin" to his partner regarding Agar LMAO

 

[NYRB]

When Josh Brown hits em, they stay hit.

 

[NYRB]

Doctor coming out to check on Usman

 

[Around the Wicket]

There was a definite noise then?

 

[StillAtLarge]

That was a massive nick!

 

[NYRB]

Usman lucky there. Between wicket keeper and 1st slip

 

[Around the Wicket]

Khawaja and Labuschagne together now, this is what the Big Bash needs!

 

[Fabregas]

Uzzie getting all the luck while brown got short changed

 

[010203]

After some great fielding by Hardie, Brown is out rather unluckily.
