Why withdraw the appeal? The batter clearly looks to go back for a second run. The bowler is moving into position to take the ball. Unlucky yes… bad sportsmanship no

The batter turns and looks at her partner like every single batter would do in that situation but never actually is going for a second, if the bowler doesn't get in the way there's no chance it's a run out.

Danger game today for the Scorchers.

If we manage to get the chocolates, think we will retain top spot as I can't see us losing to the Renegades at home.

I know it's a double header, but a terrible time BTW.

Scorchers top 2 confirmed now with the gades losing. Hopefully we finish top to get two finals in Perth.

First game where Warner has had a >100 strike-rate since his much vaunted return to the BBL.

If she didn’t wander out of her crease after completing the first run she also wouldn’t have been run out

Season on the line

Scorchers lost the toss and will be bowling.
Probably would've bowled first if won the toss anyway.

Ahhhh noooo! What a shame!

Actually... this game seems a tad early for my liking. 1pm on a Friday? Come on... work's still on.

 

[Tugga27]

Dorf and Kelly out for Payne and Hatz.

Bowling looks a bit thin.
Wonder if Dorf is carrying anything.

3.30 in Adelaide, which isn't even any better

 

[Truckosaurus]

Please please please please pleeeeease don't bowl Kelly in the Powerplay

16.00hrs I think.

He's not playing.

 

[DanWCE]

Please please please please pleeeeease don't bowl Kelly in the Powerplay

Sounds like that won't be a problem if he's not playing

 

[Agent93]

Chris Lynn can knock him out of the park all day then!

3.45pm AJ Tye has just confirmed to Fox that Behrendorff has been rested. He didn't travel to Adelaide. They manage him carefully given his long-time back issues and they have a like-for-like in David Payne.

Fair enough. I'd rather have him for the finals at this stage.

I have my doubts as to whether Morris is any better.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Bancroft has some pair of hands

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Yeah of course Hobson is enjoying his role, he gets paid and doesn’t actually have to do anything.

 

[darksquare]

Payne, Morris and Hatzoglou running through the Strikers. But they're the three that most likely miss out in finals...

 

[happy_eagle]

Just give us the title now and give the cricketers a bit of a break

 

[Tugga27]

Payne, Morris and Hatzoglou running through the Strikers. But they're the three that most likely miss out in finals...

Morris and Agar will be in India so Hatz will probably stay in.
Payne most likely to miss out.

Strikers also likely to miss finals so some poetry there

 

[ep2018]

We dont have to worry about NRR considering the sixers have a no result. We should block the first ten overs and then chase from that point on.

 

[Tugga27]

If the Scorchers opt to play one spinner next game at Optus, would Agar keep his spot in front of Hatz?
