How magic would it be if Harry Potter came in and hit the he winning runs

[Bill Manspeaker]

the Hilf says flower you Billy boy watch this shower. great finish. Neser's one ball to Beer was a pretty big moment. if he could have  bowled a couple of dot balls to him it could have been a different story. but nah full toss on his pads

Hilfy :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Anyone know what that KP and Pollard discussion was?

KP and KP :D Pollard has tape on his bowling hand Pietersen wanted it off. It didn't come off in the end :P

Rules about tape on wrist and fingers says it is in umpires hands and apparently one umpire said ok and one said no so the end result was it did not. Should have referred to third umpire  :D :D
Did Hodge err in bowling Agar for the 18th over when he had Pollard available. Dean Jones would have loved it another stat where the 18th over the most important in a chase.

Tough choice. Agar bowled a great 16th over, but didn't bowl any similar balls that got those dots in the 18th. The planning from him and Hodge was off in that over. Not entirely his fault we only scored 153 on the MCG, his 16th over is what gave us a huge chance :)

Forget Harry Potter. When did Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys become a cricket umpire?  :o

Clearly the Melbourne Stars were just pranking, they gave Agar a few dots in the 16th so he'd come back on and go for 18  ;)

England quick Tymal Mills comes in for his first game for the Heat replacing injured spinner Samuel Badree. Mills has bowled superbly for Auckland in the Super Smash. He has 10 wickets in 10 games at an economy rate of just 6.61.

Scorchers XI: Klinger, S Marsh, Bell, Turner, Whiteman, Cartwright, Agar, Bresnan, Richardson, Johnson, Tye
The Scorchers have lost Mitch Marsh and David Willey to international duties but have made two like for like replacements. Hilton Cartwright comes back from test duty while England bowling all-rounder Tim Bresnan comes in to replace Willey. Bresnan hasn't played domestic cricket since September but did play two 50-over matches last weekend in the WACA's first grade competition in Perth.

Heat have won toss and will bowl.

Perth Scorchers favourites with Bet365.

should be a good game tonight! looking forward to this one

[Jukes]

Batting first, no chance of winning then :/ winning the toss is overpowered in BBL for the opposite reason for winning it in tests

[Jukes]

We'll be better when Shaun has to go off to India tbh. You stink Shaun

[Bill Manspeaker]

why is that 4? surely it's 6  ??? they're not even talking about... whaaa

[Bill Manspeaker]

the umpires have finally made the right call and it's been called a 6

I thought I was going crazy for a second

[Gigantor]

Cartwright :( hit a boundary or get out!

[Bill Manspeaker]

it's been given... I reckon his foot touched the rope
