Smokey..Allways trying to work out how Klinger picks the right balls to hit.Even when he got out.Was a decent hit but he wasn't happy.

Terrible luck for SOK. It seemed like an innocuous incident. Hopefully its not too bad a break. Unfortunately for the sixers, they had to find another bowler to take O'keeffe's last over and Botha gave the ball to Maddinson who went for 14. This was when the momentum in the game started turning towards the Scorchers I thought. Botha made some other strange decisions in the field in that one of his front line bowlers (Sams) didnt bowl his full 4 and Botha himself only bowled one over. Both of these would have been better options than Maddinson.
As for Maxy, I take my hat off to him. After all the anxiety and worry of the last few weeks, to be able to play an innings like he did tonight is just a testament to his character and courage. I have never seen a 20/20 batsman who is able to pick the right shot for the type of ball better than Kilinger. It was an outstanding innings, well supported by Turner and young David who showed remarkable composure for his age and experience. JL is a bloody genius to have the team playing this well with so many key players missing.

Another great win by the Scorchers....hats off to Klinger for his innings with so much off field stress going off in his life at present....also the young fella David and his cameo.... hopefully they aren't peaking too soon with all these wins.....I thought Inglis was a bit of a hitter...quite surprised he hasn't had a go higher up the order....surely he could do as well if not better than Willey?

I was thinking when the win looked to be getting away from us, that maybe Johnno could have been an option. He may have gone cheaply, but if he was on song and started to hit a few, they stay hit!

First game back Lynn gets a shocker caught behind decision, then second game back he gets a huge let off with Hastings dropping a gimme....amazing the twists n turns of sport.... hopefully this sets Lynn up for another damaging BBL....as Southerner said...Lynn is the closest clean hitter since Gilly...get him in at 6 for Aust and I reckon he could do what Gilly did upteen times turn a game on it's head with a quick fire 50- 100.....field him in slips or gully to save his throwing arm/shoulder if necessary.....

Surely Lynn has to prove himself at Sheld level, I don't think he's played a four day game in two years, I don't think he wound even be on the radar to get a test birth let alone batting a day out to save a test match if needed.

Lynn has a FC average of 43.... top score 250.....very true PN.....at 27 one would think Lynn has time on his side to show he has the game to play test cricket.....rather see a 29 yr old Lynn off to Eng for the Ashes than a 36 yr old Shaun Marsh TBH....

It will be interesting to see how the scorchers go now. Yes they will get S Marsh and Bancroft back when the one sayers start, but losing NCN and Berendorf for the summer to injuries, and then losing Tye and Richardson for national duties will stretch them, especially as they lose Willey to the Pommie side.....
Will be a high effort just to make the finals let alone try to win it.
Lynn made the one day side

I put Lynn in the Maxwell (Big Show) class Freez. IMHO neither would be better options than the Marsh brothers in the Test side. Sure, they're good "Bashers" or, at best, ODI players, but Test players? Not for me.
