I vividly remember Yasir Arafat. He was the best death bowler we've ever had and he certainly would be in my all time Scorchers XI. Bowled most of his overs at the death where he was really economical and he was one of the big reasons why we've been able to defend low totals during his time with us. A memorable moment was that tied game against the Sixers where he took four wickets and in the super over he went for one run and took two wickets which we were able to win.

He had a lethal slow full toss that dipped and his yorkers were accurate. Also had the best slower delivery as well.

I wouldn't have Agar anywhere near a best Scorchers XI in all honesty.

Klinger
Bancroft
S. Marsh
M. Marsh
Voges
Turner
Inglis
Richardson
Behrendorff
Arafat
Hogg

Aggers has been really good for us.

I had MJ instead as you don't lose much with the bat but he put the fear of God up guys.

Nah MJ's batting was trash when he was a Scorcher. MMarsh and Turner can churn out two overs each or whatever.

It's all good.
I'm going with the extra quick instead of a bat.

MJ, Dorf and Richo would be unbelievable.

Could put Pat Cummins in there for the lols

 

[FKASC]

Lythgod deserves a look in

I remember him being rubbish for us in all honesty. Think it was BBL3 or 4 he played in a final and got tonked around.

Same season we found this cult legend.

What about a worst ever Scorchers XI

Must have played at least 10 games

M.Harris
Triffitt
I.Bell
Bosisto
Collingwood
Cartwright (his stats for us weren't great)
David (never did much for us)
Edmonson
Paris (not great stats)
Beer
Rimmington

brizpoon was right, all beer is shit

Hobson for cartwight and lythgod stiff

Lyth only played 7 games.

Hobson for Cartwright probably fair. This list said Hobson has only played 5 games, but hasn't been updated by the sounds of things.

A bit behind the ball here - but Adam Zampa is one of the least likeable cricketers in the Aussie circuit today

The arrogance of the bloke. Clearly rates himself. Expects to walk into the test side after one mediocre first class game after sitting out for three years.

The fact his side is rock bottom of the BBL and about to lose yet another soft game is an added bonus. They were in a near unlosable position!

Stars doing Stars things

Melbourne flipping Stars ehy

If this were the AFL we’d be playing the tank card

I won't pretend to be unbiased here but he's been one of the best spinners in International cricket in the other forms for the past few years and had clearly been told by the selectors he was a very good chance of going so I don't think it's unreasonable for him to be disappointed he's not going. It's not as if they've picked four Warne's in the squad either.

I just saw Beau Websters two roof hits today and I’m sorry but no way that should be awarded a 6. Those two balls went straight up and weren’t making the boundary like in previous cases

Cricket and logic don’t always meet but I’d have thought the logical rule would be to call it a dead ball and bowl it again. Awarding a six for a shot that may otherwise have been catchable seems unfair

 

[ep2018]

Bugger, would have preferred the stars win that.

 

[FKASC]

Prefer lolStars to lose for the lols

 

[ioppolo]

21 off 25 with seven wickets in hand, lose by 6 runs.
On par with one of the Sydney Thunder's early chokes (back in their Gayle days). 32 off 30 with nine wickets in hand and still lost.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Eerily similar to how they choked in the final against the Renegades.
