Philippe almost certain to miss for Perth. Expect Green to miss too. The third is probably Muirhead given they have Agar, Bosisto and Turner can all bowl spin in the top 7.

Green isn’t in the 13 man squad. Bosisto Phillippe and Muirhead approved as replacement players and according to the rules the next match after you’re approved as a replacement player you have to be in the XI or 12th man. So 2 of those 3 will play.

Paris in doubt apparently

Well then it would be Bosisto and Muirhead you'd think

Player availability running pretty low at the Scorchers. Fair effort if they can win tonight

Kinda shot themselves in the foot only signing one import.

I think a title defence is a bridge too far this season. Still pumped about this, 1pm start over here kicks ass.

Josh Phillipe
David Willey
Hilton Cartwright
Adam Voges
Will Bosisto
Ashton Turner
Ashton Agar
Josh Inglis
Mitchell Johnson
Jhye Richardson
Andrew Tye

That's what I reckon, could swap Bos and Phillipe if they want a steadier bat higher up the order

 

[HBF]

Looking forward to seeing the Scorchers for the first time this year.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Think the Scorchers have left themselves too much to do this year, though they always surprise me so have to show a bit of faith.

 

[Torz]

Pretty sure Johnson will bat 11. Don't think he has any interest in having a hit.

Even before the call ups for the two Marsh boys to the test side it did seem a little odd seeing Bell had played a fairly important role in our success last year.

I believe Turners shoulder is still no good, hence why he hasn't been bowling recently.

Nope CBS money hasn't come through yet so they have to do a 90 minute pre-game because Channel 10 can't afford any more Bold and the Beautiful reruns

scorchers with only one import. gutsy.

 

[2006_Eagles]

Why did the coverage start 40 minutes ago?

 

[KBLT]

Scorchers batting seems a bit thin to me. Especially without Klinger. Can't blame him though.

 

[KBLT]

Why did they not resign Bell? Not like he did anything wrong last year.

 

[ioppolo]

Not enough firepower in our batting lineup.

That being said, we've won three titles off primarily our bowling.

 

[2006_Eagles]

This is painful. Hurry the * up

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Hello from the pub.

 

[Teen Wolf]

Still hard to go past that Scorchers bowling attack (assuming no further injuries), get one or two batsmen in form at the right time and they're laughing I reckon.
