Pakistan setting NZ 138 to win off 15 overs. Bazball must be contagious

If NZ win that, the ICC would have some serious questions to ask of the PCB.

Quinton De Kock is massive loss. Wa averaging just under 40 with the bat as a keeper and could have done a Sanga by giving up keeping and becoming a top of the order batsmen.

9 an over in fading light on a day 5 pitch is bloody tough, last thing the ICC should be doing is discouraging teams from playing to win.

10 wickets in 15 overs is tougher.

 

[Dazzler9]

Didn't happen, so doesn't matter.

 

[Mop]

I presume bad light stopped play?

Eddiesmith or whatever his name is having a totally normal one the game day thread

Horribly biased, stupid and deranged are words that sum that dickhead up well.

 

[Truckosaurus]

I've decided that I'll pick which team to support in neutral games by the number of former Scorchers they have.

yeah I venture to the cricket board here and there and at times he seems ok and other times behaves so unhinged

There are quite a few Scorchers/WA players playing with other T20 franchises. Be an interesting exercise to select current Scorchers v Exs.

Speaking of keepers, Risbah Pant is hospitalised after a car crash. Don’t think it’s super serious tho

Hope he's OK. A good player to watch.

The car is a right old mess.

Another quality Vishka Spoiler.

Munro
Phillippe (wk)
S.Marsh
Marcus Harris
D.Short
Edit: Cartwright
Cummins (cheating)
Nathan-Coulter Nile
Paris
Usman Qadir
Rocchilicioli (sp)

Not as strong as previous years though.

Don't do that you will end up a Stars fan.

Stoinis and Tim David too, and K Patterson technically

I think Short's the only one amongst that group that didn't play for the Scorchers?

Edit: Sam Whitemans also playing for the Thunder these days

 

[Cuzz09]

It's funny our last loss was v Sri Lanka by an innings and Sth Africa's last win was an innings win v Eng.

Scorchers playing Hobson over Eskinazi is one of the greatest mysteries of the big bash. He averages 35 with a strike rate of 140 and has a century and 14 half centuries in the format. Oh and He is the captain of Middlsex.

Apparently credits in the bank means **** all to Voges

Thunder’s 11 is going to be very hard to beat. Three genuine international guns

Great post that I never disagreed with for a second.

 

[ioppolo]

Their 15 all out is one of the most genuinely baffling performances of recent times. They've put up some decent scores since then.

They’ll make the final IMO. Unfortunately for them they’ve lost Sangha, Sandhu and Farooqi but they still have a lot of firepower and Warner to come in.

KPatt and David are good calls that I momentarily forgot.

Stoinis has been garbage on this year's performances.

Thanks for playing him into form

Guha saying Thorton not getting hammered all season must have forgotten his last over against Turner

 

[Tugga27]

Lost the toss again and are chasing.

Banners in for Agar.

 

[FKASC]

Finally Bancroft in. In before he makes 1 off 4.

Hardie and/or Turner likely to bowl Agars overs looking at the 11
