Commentators gone a bit flat on Fox

What an effort from the undermanned Heat, dare I say a Scorchers-like performance.

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

Do you dweebs ever call games right?

 

[KBLT]

Didn't see the Heat winning that beforehand.

 

[Monocle]

Well who would have thunk that outcome.

Things have lining up nicely for the Scorchers.

Kudos to the Heat great result with the outs.

 

[Doashuey]

All the pearl clutching over 6ers and Scorchers is going to look a bit silly when the mighty Heat come to Perth and take the cup back to Brissy.

Beat me to it. Always a good time reading this thread during games.

It’s like if Biff read the Almanac upside down.

 

[THE A5]

Never in doubt.

Hopefully they played their grandy today

 

[KBLT]

Heat could be dangerous on Saturday.

 

[Keys]

Sixers to win this, Heat will crumble with an inexperienced batting order and the Sixers are a professional outfit.

Move over Dazzler

The Sixers just got Carbined

Best to stay hydrated

One wicket away from an all time choke

 

[RookiePick]

Pre-emptive call to ban briztoon if the heat get up on Saturday.

Needed Lee and Haddin tonight.

38 on sat so you'd be right.

38° but both teams have to play in it

Feels like this is a good result for the Scorchers, tempting fate perhaps. Losing the final in the second season is still my worst BBL moment as a Scorchers fan.

Early 2018 was pretty brutal. Finish top of ladder, get to play the first big event at Optus and it sells out, then completely choke as we're not used to the flat wicket compared to the WACA. Back in the days when there were on second chances.

38 can’t be classified as heat, it’s a scorcher.


I’ll let my self out now ok

That's the second worst memory for mine. IIRC Wade went crazy and we had to chase 220. The third would be capitulating so badly against the Stars in the last game in BBL05 that we fell to third and lost the right to host the final we eventually played against them next game. We were chasing ~160 but only needed to make 120 or so to finish second and we stupidly threw everything at the win instead of going a run a ball to get to the target needed to finish 2nd. We ended up bowing out meekly in that final. In fact the end of that entire season sucked. The Thunder had snuck into 4th that season, Khawaja came back for them just before the finals and he won them the title.

I was there, yelling at Nathan Hauritz. And the ****er had a blinder.

Lots the Women's match before that too. Was a rough day.

 

[THE A5]

Bit of a hindsight warrior but Scorchers should have never done that in 2018. Kinda shows the seriousness of the league a bit too. Most sporting teams in many pro leagues wouldn't wanna go from playing all their home games at one ground and then change their ground come finals to ground they have hardly played in.

So fifth are about to play off in the grand final. Suddenly the people calling the shots will reconsider scrapping the final five.

Oh man way to bring up old wounds.
I remember that Hobart game, some nobody called Simon Milenko hit about 60 off 30 in Hobart's innings iirc. We were then 7/68 in the reply.
As for the Stars game, I remember watching that slowly unfold in absolute horror. Daniel Worrall tore our top order a new one and Ben Hilfenhaus took down the middle order.

Was this the game Handcomb made a ton out of no where?
