How do you feel now Warne you tool

Final in Perth and another trip to Premier League in India. Worth $700,000 last year and most probably more this year.
Hope Gibbs injury not serious.. Well done to Shaun Marsh. Go you Scorchers.

Im looking forward to Pommers smashing a big score in the final for the heat

So Pommers is your love child? You seem to be totally enamoured by him....or are you a Queenslander? Got a picture of him on the dunny door have we????

Nah mate i just happened to play a lot of grade cricket with him and i hope he smashes them!!! And once again shows he is the best batsman outside the test team, as he has done the past few knocks, shits all over Kwagia and co, Is that good enough for ya Sharkie?

What a great display of batting by Marsh, well supported by Hussey and Voges. The 27 run over from Keath was the turning point as it gave the scorchers guys belief that they could do it. There was some very strange decisions by Warne ( oh hang on he wasn't the captain was he ). Firstly to bowl that young kid Keath in the middle overs when Marsh had got his eye in - lambs to the slaughter, particularly when they had other options, Bird only bowled 2 overs, Warne didn't bowl at all, Luke Wright had only bowled 1 over. All these guys were more experienced and certainly wouldn't have gone for 27 IMO. Then there was the last over, the dropped catch, the missed run out and the no ball. I felt sorry for Faulkner because he bowled a pretty decent "captains" over but no excuses for overstepping on the last ball. Even then though it wouldn't have made any difference with 6 men outside the circle. It was a shambolic finish for the Stars and dare I say it perhaps a bit of karma for Warne for his cynical captaincy ploy.

Great win Scorchers,Marsh brilliant again,Voges:I may have to change my opinion of this bloke,hes had an awesome tournament and Mr Cricket Mike Hussey showed his class to guide the Scorchers home at the end.
TO "Captain"? Faulkner for bowling a No-Ball with the last ball [also called no-ball by square leg ump for only 3 in circle] Thankyou mate hehe.
Gibbs be doubtful to play saturday with hammy gone and having to retire injured last night.Few options to fill his spot if he doesnt play,Hussey/Katich/North to open with Marsh and bring Triffett back in or keep Huss as W/Keeper and bring in another Batsman.
Well done Scorchers,proud of you!!

Hi 4ever I didnt see the game last night been on Mars.

Was Triffit dropped for Hussey last night?
Did Hussey keep wicket?

Answer to all Yes... Good interview with Kim Hughes this morning on 91.3 will grab it later. He was at the game and gives a good roundup.

Thanks Cardy.
Just quickly did he have an opinion on dropping Triffit for Hussey?

From memory there was a bit of talk but nothing over the top. He said Hussy did a good job keeping but of course he wont be the permanent keeper outside of Big Bash.
The interview is up now at. Only caught the end of it so having a listen myself
Loved Clarkeys comment about bowling at the body and head..

Thanks Cardy. Some interesting comments!

Hi Talking Footy.Mike Hussey did a good job with the gloves mate,missed a stumping but apart from that he is a natural.
Felt for Triffett but his batting hasnt been his strong point this 20/20 comp.
Hussey had to come into the team so id say it was outa North/Voges and Triffett to drop out.Triffett got short straw.
Great game last night,Scorchers looked gone a few times,the no-ball of the last ball by Faulkner was really surprising but the Scorchers deserved some luck.
Be a ripper game saturday night,most of the losers on here bagging 20/20 will be watching i bet
Go The Scorchers!!

Anchor,Voges is Captain of Western Warriors now since North stood down,Katich is Cap of Scorchers.
Ive heard they tried to get Katich back as Captain for Warriors but he declined so really Voges was obvious choice.
Voges has been real plus for me in 20/20,been very good,i didnt rate him to highly before as he was very inconsistent but has shown me wrong in the BBL.
Warnie was a pain in the butt last night but he is very competetive and is a winner [most times]but he lost the semi so thats life Shane hehe.
Go the Scorchers
