5/626 9SI (didn’t include Bethell’s 3) - assuming, well… hoping(!) we get at least some play tomorrow. So I have those players as “still to play”
Sutherland 166
Rogers 119
Zampa E 87
Allen E 49
Bethell 3 - assumed to be 12th man
Sutherland went berserk. Bittersweet as I gave some thought into captaining him, especially after Green scored a 10 as VC. Instead opted for the extra look before falling back into a Stars/Sixers asset. Rogers with an outstanding contribution from the bat along with good bowling points. That is now my 4th 49 (along with a Stoinis 48) in the space of 5 games, but Rogers doesn’t get the spray due to him being a bowler and missing it due to the game finishing
. Can’t say the time I expected Zampa to do something would be against the Scorchers on a seam friendly Optus pitch. Happy to be proven wrong there. Was tossing up between Allen, Ferguson, and a Hurricane for that 3rd trade in, but when Hurst was dropped from the squad and Allen became the only keeper in the squad, he came in. The dreaded 19 today but the 3 catches to bring his score to a solid 49. Best bowling attack to keep to. Bethell disappointing. Didn’t bowl much on this pitch as expected. No fielding involvements and a poor shot on the last ball of the powerplay led to his downfall.
