I'm told Peter Handscomb has requested to keep against the Scorchers tonight. Not sure whether he will though. Stars had planned for Dunk.

lol

Sure hope Peter uses his Hands to do something, anything this summer and not Comb.

Sad.

Dunk is a much better keeper. I like Handscomb but they should tell him to GAGF.

 

[Spikey]

dunk might agree to it if they let him bowl tbf

 

[Spikey]

honestly can't believe Perth gets a home boxing day match again. This is something the PA should have tried to prevent during the CBA stuff.

 

[Gnske]

Why not? The last thing we want to see on boxing day is two Sydney teams play like ****.

I like this

 

[Spikey]

it's more that it means some team has to fly 4 hours to perth on xmas day, and look as evil as the Stars are, that's still kinda **** for them

 

[Spikey]

Cartwright must be jealous that someone other than him just got castled

 

[Spark]

great spectacle this

Dunk is just missing standard straight balls from Johnson. Weird.

 

[Spikey]

Dunk's had a good day then

 

[Spark]

Johnson genuinely looks like he could still bowl at a Test level

 

[Spikey]

He timed the jump wrong for the second 'catch' (in fact I'm not sure he even needed to leap) but the pom got out next ball anyway. shocking

That was really weird from Luke Wright. Nearly popped one to mid-off playing a half-hearted shot then did it just 2 balls later to the exact same ball.

 

[TheJediBrah]

And wtf was Maxwell doing? Backed away from every ball he faced trying to flay them over point or something

This is why I follow the Gades

Yeah definitely.

It's a shame he was so very weary of everything that the day/night test that season wasn't enough incentive to hang one just for one more test. Let alone go on like he very would could have.

Yeah, physically he still looks absolutely fine, and there's never been any questions about his stamina. He just cbf with the pitches that were being served up.

Hard to argue with his assessment either, on today's showing.

 

[Spark]

Scorchers doing well is still bad for the competition

 

[Burgey]

Anyone got the faintest idea what Maxwell was thinking?

Nice shot Quiney.

It is always harder to tell with fast bowlers than other players, just because of how much easier bowling fast for four overs in day is than bowling fast for twenty, but .... yeah, if CWPL was a real-life competition I'm sure he'd still get picked pretty early.
