That was superb batting by Neser, he's too good for this level.

How are the Heat in the final lol

My guess is we will all be asking that again on Saturday as they are blown off the park in the final.

He is da man. Game had no atmosphere tho.

The Sixers picked the wrong time to put in a poor performance. They're a much better side than the Heat despite tonight's result.

Anyway, Perth have another championship locked away now.

Dunno I reckon the Heat are probably a better matchup at Optus. We smoked the Sixers earlier in the year and I’d have been confident of doing it again. Sixers are the better side but the Heat could do anything

 

[corbies]

Surely we're all cheering on the absolute hilarious outcome of this Heat team winning the BBL?

Atmosphere stunk.

To be fair the comp should've finished weeks ago, only us sickos are watching it still. Too drawn out for the casual fans and there are no big names left.

I've never been fond of the idea that 5 of 8 teams can make the finals and I hope CA don't feel a sense of vindication if the Heat pull off a miracle and pinch the title on Saturday.

The season has dragged out. It peaks 3-4 weeks ago, the final games of the season lack interest and it loses all momentum heading into longer breaks between games in finals.

Cut the season by 2-3 games each team and keep playing every second night at worst even in finals to keep the momentum going.

It has got the stench of their BBL02 success around the place. If they were to win then the Heat having 2 BBL titles is somewhat amusing. Off the top of my head they've only ever played 2 home finals.

Sixers are always in the game though, they almost salvaged it even tonight. The Heat can lose anything, they almost bottled it tonight save for one player, Neser.

IMO it'll be a comfortable Scorchers win, comfortable as in, they'll always be in a safe, controlled position. The Heat are just as likely to collapse and give us nothing.

The Sixers beat the Heat in a semi final at the Gabba in 2017 in a super over and in 2020-21, the Heat won the eliminator at the Gabba against the Strikers. This is only te 4th season the Heat have made the finals and now they're in their 2nd final.

The Sydney rain has aided the Heat this season. They probably would have lost at North Sydney Oval if not for the rain and then they got home against the Thunder last Friday due to the rain and DLS. Rain won't be a factor in Perth though.

They were certainly a chance against Sydney at North Sydney Oval .. they needed nearly 12 an over from the start.

And they scored a record against the Thunder .. doubt they would have chased that.

If anything, the rain delay greatly assisted the Thunder in a chase they had no right to be in

 

[gtrxuone]

Great win by the Heat.They enter the final with nothing to lose.

 

[corbies]

$2.50 wow

That's about as big a price as you'll see in the BBL tbf.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Great win by the Heat.They enter the final with nothing to lose.

Just checked, found out they have a final to lose.

Brisbane Heat, yes, Brisbane Heat are in the BBL Final. Sure, they'll probably get thumped on Saturday but you've gotta be in it to win it. Congrats to Dan Christian on a great Twenty20 career. Take a bow Michael Neser. Top class with the willow just as it looked like his team were going to throw it away.

The class of the international standard player ( Neser) got the win for the Heat.
I wonder if they will play him higher up the order against Perth?
