BBL Match 61 The Final Perth Scorchers v Brisbane Heat 1900hrs @ Perth Stadium

[largebus]

McSweeney gawn. All up to Neser now.

 

[RAPPA]

140 - will be done in 15 overs

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Heat doing Heat things.

Going to need Neser to throw the willow and then do well with the ball.

 

[NYRB]

neat catch from Banners looking into the sun.

Strategy might be to get Neser/Bryant to the 16th over so that they have a license to go when they get out there.

Which is fine, except you have Bazley and Bryant who are big hitters. Chuck one of them in instead of Pierson, if they get out cheaply you’ve still got batting left. But they could also get you up towards 190-200 rather than what looks like maybe 160-170.

Could be wrong, maybe they smash 70+ from the last five but it may well be the difference between winning and losing.

Now a fourth wicket and still five overs to go. You’re now expecting your pinch hitters to bat deep, which might not end well.

 

[Plugger35]

The Heat are blowing a good score here.

Time to send in Neser to rescue them or maybe Bryant.

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

The decision to take the power surge that early has now cost McSweeney his wicket. Stupidity from the Heat.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Heat well and truly shooting themselves in the foot here

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Yeah we're gone, won't even make 160

 

[Moonwatcher]

Now a fourth wicket and still five overs to go. You’re now expecting your pinch hitters to bat deep, which might not end well.

Strategies tend to look bad when the batters fail as they have done here.

Channel 7 commerical ads doing a nice job of promoting UWA

 

[Around the Wicket]

The decision to take the power surge that early has now cost McSweeney his wicket. Stupidity from the Heat.

Both batsmen were in, seemed a decent time to take it just didn't go well.

 

[NYRB]

Bartlett and Bazley can whack the ball.

 

[NYRB]

Forget Neser as well

 

[NYRB]

Will there be a celebration or parade if the Perth Scorchers win the title?

Would a ceremony at Forrest Chase be a possibility?

 

[Plugger35]

Ponting saying what everyone is thinking that Bryant should've been sent in for the surge with Peirson sent in for the finisher role in the last few overs.

Seccombe and Lehmann must be two of the dumbest coaches going around.

 

[k31th]

lovely down the ground 6 by Bryant

 

[NYRB]

one thing Brisbane have done well today, have targetted the smaller side of the boundary- down the ground.

 

[Plugger35]

Bryant goes bang for six.

 

[gtrxuone]

Beautiful shot by Bryant

 

[Kram]

People in the eastern states if you think your newspapers are bad they have got nothing on 'The West'.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Six count 'em

 

[k31th]

power from Bryant! baseball-style down the ground for 6!

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Flat bat 6 down the ground.

 

[Aussie_boy]

The Heat almost deserve Bryant to come off in a final given the amount of chances he's had over the years.
