I think Cam Green would be huge for the Scorchers, he's paid so much in the IPL for a reason.

I think if the Strikers had Head, they'd have finished on top last night.

T20 is set out to have coloured clothing and different rules and different criteria for selecting squads.

The simple point I'm making is that the choices of teams and their colour lacked imagination. i.e. it looks like crap.

Lol fwiw I do agree that it's stupid we have 2 green teams.

The blues of the Heat and Strikers are far enough away and the red-pink-orange is fine.

The greens through, someone didn't think that through.

Surely the stars should have been yellow?

I think they steered away from yellow being that yellow and black are already in use as state colours. That’s what I heard anyway. FWIW, I think Scorchers, Thunder and Sixers have the best colours to really pop and contrast with the black. Brisbane’s teal is just gross, and the Melbourne teams, and Hurricanes are just dull against the black. Strikers are ok, but again quite dull with the black.

I did think it ridiculous last week when the Scorchers (orange) and Strikers (blue) both decided to wear predominantly black.

Think the Stars and Thunder look more different that the Heat and Strikers tbh.

Also the Heat are an aqua-blue sort of thing. If anything them and the stars are the worst ones colour clash wise.

Don't understand why there's no yellow team and think styles of uniforms are too similar across the competition (why does every team's second colour seem to be black) but I don't really think the overall situation is that bad tbh.

But green and darker and lighter shades of blue are already in use of state colours as well.

But not together with black.

This is some f**king glorious batting from the Scorchers.

The batting side of things is really clicking right in time for the finals.

 

[largebus]

A record 8 consecutive lost bat flips and we could finish top.

The thing is every win when we've batted first hasn't even been close. If we actually win a toss it might be good to bat first

 

[serial_thrilla]

It's a miracle! The Scorchers won a bat flip!

My kayo has shat itself

 

[estibador]

Yep, so f**king frustrating.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Widespread kayo outages. Over 5000 reported so far.

 

[Spirit Level]

Massive crowd here, we really better than the rest when it comes to supporting our teams

 

[freodog]

Finally back working

Finally back working

Not for me

Good to see the price rises helping provide a stable product

 

[largebus]

Never in doubt in the end, will be roasting when we play next on Tuesday

Widespread kayo outages. Over 5000 reported so far.

I rage quit and missed the match... I had to be sociable with people instead. It was awful.

Yeah that would suck. As a general rule I don’t much like people.

 

[King Huskii]

Why is that

 

[Spirit Level]

Why is that

People = Shit

 

[Tundrawolf]

Scorchers 8 in a row against the Melbourne Stars!

 

[King Huskii]

People = Shit

Wow! I work with so many people and work to help so many others and majority of people are lovely.

I wonder why you think people are s....t?

I meet people from all walks of life too and as I said previously people aren't how you describe them to be. I guess it comes down to the attitude of the person judging others.
