Hurst is not at BBL level.
Connolly can wicketkeep.
Need a back up to Agar.
Seen how well Green bowled to us.
Cant see AJ Pie getting a contract in BBL 15..Not at Perth anyway.
​​​​​​Warners giving back plenty to Australian cricket after a great international, career.
All the best to Daniel Sams and Cameron Bancroft, horrible collision.
I would have a crack at Rutherford next years.Hes hopeless on thoes dust bowl wickets.Loves the ball coming onto the bat.
Great crowd allmost 47,000

Hope Ashton Turner didn't have a few quid on the Thunder. That dropped catch was John Higgins like. That was unbelievable, don't even think he got a finger on it and his nonchalant reaction or lack of was just as remarkable.

The Scorchers are a complete laughing stock at the minute.
I doubt Tye or Kelly would get a game for the Widgiemooltha Warriors, Turner is a shadow of his former self and it shows in his captaincy which has been horrendous of late, the Pommy recruits are abysmal and not even in the squad atm, a complete waste of money getting them over.
Just give some kids like Jackson, Beardman, Wyllie etc a go they couldnt do any worse than the above clowns surely!

And I'll repeat. Sign Joel Curtis before another Franchise does.

Dont look like it in BBL14.
Batting of to slow starts and losing wickets.
No-one to bowl at the end.With Turner bowling out the Dorf,Richo and Morris.Terrible captaincy
Picking a 12man who drops catches every game.
If the Gades captain scores 50 of his 70 runs of the top edge of his bat.Surley you bowl top of the off stump.And force him to play straight or square.
 

To be honest, why bother canning them. I think they must know by now that they are nowhere near as good as they think they are or were.

Time maybe next season to swallow the pride and start looking at well performed, uncontracted Eastern States players.
Either that or bring in a second team from WA who will consider ALL players.

When you look at last night's line up it appears very strong on paper, so not sure how they managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Turner is the biggest liability at the moment as his batting, bowling and elements of his captaincy have been less than ideal over the last several weeks but in saying that, he has a very good history in the comp.

For mine, the sooner Hardie and Marsh can bowl the better as they could use those two as a combined 4th seamer, drop Kelly and bring in another specialist batsman. Agar gave them some hope last night with the bat but he should be coming in at 8.

Can't blame the imports for that loss....MR 4/10, then 5/40 odd,  chasing 145 odd...not sure how the Pricktorians got home, but Sutherland and Rogers did the job and got their side the win. 

 

Scorchers have lost the ability to close out games. Two times in a row they have failed in the last couple of overs to close the opposition down, something they were the best at previously.

They seem to have a pattern.  Start out playing crap, then come home with a wet sail, or vice versa.  If losing to a vico side is gutting, losing to a side captained by Sandpaper Warner is twice as bad.
