Brisbane Heat have won the toss and have opted to field

Wright is currently 8 off 17 chewing up deliveries. That's about the worst thing you can do in T20 cricket, not get out and just waste balls. Needs to get out or start scoring over 100 SR.

 

[NYRB]

mcDermott horror tournament prob comes to an end here today. Needed something big from him today from a Hobart perspective.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Why isn’t Dooley playing lol

 

[nobbyiscool]

This innings from Wright is putting huge pressure on David & Wade.

Aaaand… David’s gone

 

[ep2018]

If the Heat win today they finish 3rd. They play their first final with their internationals still in the side. Win that, then they play Sixers/Scorchers without them. Ideal for the loser of Saturdays final.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Swepson not appreciating the difficulty of that chance

 

[Moonwatcher]

Not sure if Hurricanes or Strikers

 

[Moonwatcher]

What's with the tough pitches this round

 

[Tugga27]

A tough catch but would've been the game I think.

I reckon it's great.

Wright is holding the innings together.
The other bats need to bat around him.

 

[Tugga27]

Wade the key.

If they can get to 140, it's competitive I reckon.

 

[NYRB]

Neser with an easy drop.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Wright playing an important innings

 

[juss]

This is an abysmal batting innings from a so called "strong batting lineup".

 

[Tugga27]

This is an abysmal batting innings from a so called "strong batting lineup".

It's not an easy pitch to bat on TBF.

Having said that, they've under achieved all year really.

 

[NYRB]

Launceston all seems a pretty big ground

 

[NYRB]

On a serious note, is the Brendon Julian- Mark Waugh- Brad Haddin the worst trio combination in terms of commentary in the comp?

They'd be on the podium.

Is it though? Heat probably chase this down in 16 overs.

Yep

It's not easy today I reckon.

 

[Tugga27]

Is Dooley injured?

 

[Tugga27]

This pitch will suit Labs who can bat with no run rate pressure.
