Another top score from the Australian captain, I see...

wade made 53....?

 

[Crazy Sam]

The gulf in quality between the best and worst batsmen in this competition has been absolutely ridiculous so far, especially below #6 or so. The team that can first put together a top 7 who all actually look the part with the bat and can contribute in rotation will win the thing IMO.

I think most of the batsmen try and hit the ball too hard. Seems they all try to muscle the balls for four at the expense of placement, which is pointless when there are 5 on the boundary. The batting in the last 5 overs from all teams has been pretty poor.

so not the highest quality game of cricket, then?

Thought the bowling was alright to be honest.

Didn't actually watch this game, but the quality of bowling throughout the entire tournament has generally been pretty good, IMO.

I agree with vic the bowling was top stuff. The batting had a few good performers and then some rather poor showings from others.

A lot of full tosses it must be noted though. But everyone bowled better than Muirhead the other evening.

Lol Stars losing that match, Perth tried their best to lose it.

A very disappointing chase by the Stars tonight, however the Scorchers bowling attack was right on the ball this evening. Rimmington, Edmondson, Marsh and Coulter-Nile gave the batsmen little room to attempt a big shot.

I'm not sure if Voges was injured, however it's completely bizarre that he never had a bat. Boundaries were required and I would back him over Wade, Wright and Faulkner.

Serious question marks over the place of Cameron White in this side. The opening position is really a place you want your in-form batsman as so much momentum is gained in the first six overs. White was simply woeful in his approach.

Touch under 20,000 at the MCG tonight, solid crowd however Saturday night should break the Australian domestic T20 record with ease.

Worth the Wade

My letter to BJ must have ruffled feathers.

Voges was supposedly injured, Noble One.

Cheers, I figured something was amiss.

the stars are pretty much out of it so i guess they'll just keep white. but i mean a year without passing 50, in all three forms of the game, international and domestic...jesus christ.

Yeah he's just lost it, so it seems. He did take the five wicket haul though.

 

[Spikey]

took a wicket in an ODer against NSW too. in the form of his life with the ball really.

 

[Noble One]

Imagine the millions of advertising dollars poured into campaigns with Cam White's face in the advertisement. It would be amusing if they are forced to drop him.

Agree, not going to happen. The Stars don't have many great replacements with the bat either.

 

[Spikey]

haze is dead btw
