I’ve somehow managed to miss every ball Richardson has bowled this season, but I could’ve sworn that when he came back for that Ashes test last year he was way down on pace from his first iteration? Like, he had been young and quick, got injured and came back a lot slower (despite having a good game)? Good for him if he’s now bowling quicker than ever

I Haven't seen him bowl at all in red ball since the ashes test last year tbh, just know he's clocked 3 of the 5 fastest balls this BBL and clocked the fastest ball he's ever recorded in the BBL, consistently bowling as fast and sometimes faster than meredith atm. Whether that's just a t20 thing or carries over to his red ball game IDK.

Yeah tbf I also seem to recall him not bowling particularly quickly in the tests against SL back in 2018/19 so maybe he just can’t sustain it in red ball

Having Adam Zampa talking to Brian Lara on comms feels a bit disrespectful somehow. Like he shouldn't be allowed to ask him questions. Makes me feel uncomfortable

Is jhye able to reverse the ball? He's hooping it around corners atm and regularly hitting 150, needs to be on the plane to india either way but if he's able to reverse it get him in the team, **** everybody else.
I really hope he doesn't go the way of Pattinson. He's the best prospect to come out of Aus fast bowling in a decade. Unfortunately seems to have a body made of glass

Not many can. Also the bbl speeds have been a bit suss over the years, though they've seemed reasonable this year. Richardson has bowled some quick balls this bbl but he's generally around 135 - 142 mark and swinging both ways. He's been fantastic in Perth and the best bowler in the bbl this season. He's also sorted out a few pretenders like Matt Short. Which makes Ollie Davies' innings against him tonight all the more impressive.

Perth scorchers are a joke. Worst team and performance tonight. I hope they lose every game like they just did. Pathetic, unaustralian and badly captained. They deserve to not be allowed to play.

Why even have a crickey team perth. What once was a great team, they dishonour all that past effort with careless utter rubbish. They should all be ashamed of themselves. Go home faf. Your useless and washed up.

Perth scorchers are a team of individuals. No team. No vision. Just selfish bad cricketers. Give up perth. You should all be deported with faf. Just wrong the lot of them.

Is there any other sport where so many siblings play in the same comp?

Ashton/Wesley
Ollie/Joel
Jason/Tanveer

Maybe missing others tbh.

EDIT : Was thinking The Lehmanns. But naah Darren had retired then. Would have been a freaking good Big Bash player imo.
