Bought a ticket to the game but now cant be bothered due to work today and weather.

 

[largebus]

It's gone down to low 30s but with high humidity.

 

[ep2018]

Scorchers won toss and are batting first, another good toss to win

 

[NYRB]

Sydney Sixers (Playing XI): Daniel Hughes, James Vince, Josh Philippe(w), Moises Henriques(c), Jordan Silk, Jack Edwards, Hayden Kerr, Sean Abbott, Ben Dwarshuis, Jackson Bird, Todd Murphy

Perth Scorchers (Playing XI): Stephen Eskinazi, Sam Whiteman, Aaron Hardie(c), Josh Inglis(w), Laurie Evans, Cooper Connolly, Nick Hobson, Ashton Agar, Andrew Tye, Jason Behrendorff, Lance Morris

 

[NYRB]

Average 4 over Powerplay in the Power Surge era at the Perth Stadium is 29.28 runs Batting 1st.

The million dollar question is do the Scorchers go above or below that today?

 

[NYRB]

For me Perth have struggled a bit in that opening 4 to 6 overs, and with this being the last regular home and away game in hot weather- it could be a relatively cagey start .

Is Laurie Evans available for the finals?

Nope.

 

[NYRB]

Kath Loughnan on Kayo

 

[yabsy]

Nope.

So the huge new signing Marcus Harris might come in.

[NYRB]

No SOK which is interesting. I know he made some comments in the past he said he didnt like playing over there but I think having him there would have helped Sixers chances.

 

[NYRB]

Wicket seems a bit similar to the game against Brisbane Heat on the weekend, fair bit of green tinge on the wicket.

 

[Cleavy]

shouldn't Harris get a game ahead of Whiteman or Eskinazi?

 

[yabsy]

Possibly...By the look of the squad he'll more than likely come in for the final.

[NYRB]

A lot of live green grass, this looks a tricky wicket for me.

 

[NYRB]

That shot from Whiteman off Abbott off the free hit sums up his season.

 

[yabsy]

Surely Inglis has to open in place of one of these two.

Eskinazi with a possible injured finger .

 

[FrontnCentrePod]

Do we look at Saturday as a guide and hope for anything over 130/140? Scorchers are well renowned for defending low scores

 

[In the Thirds]

Seriously why would Scorchers sign Harris, not a T20 cricketer. Surely better options around.

 

[NYRB]

And Eskinazi retiring hurt...........

 

[yabsy]

With Evans leaving & Eskinazi with a busted finger, they're squad batting depth is looking real thin.

Average score after 10 overs at the Perth Stadium batting 1st in the Power Surge era is 70.16 runs after 19 games when batting first.
