Discussion SC BBL|11: Diabolical wins $25k major prize...!!!

[Rowsus]

Think Mills just said he’s not playing next game, not allowed into/out of WA!

Surely those running BBL/Perth Scorchers could make these things public in good time!
So seeing as he's currently out of WA, I'm guessing for some cocked up reason only McClown knows, he can't enter the state!!

 

[Sideshow Bob]

5/611 C Dre, Stoin, Maxi, Curran, Phillipee and Hughes to go

Bison amazing, Great from Agar, Short frustrating as anything 4 overs and faces 30 balls for 34 pts lol

 

[Jim's Dim Sims]

Hard to work out my score but it's effectively 748 with 7 to go if Kerr gets up or 759 with 6 to play if he doesn't. Massive night tonight with Marsh and Agar.

 

[McLovin]

Was a article a week ago saying he wouldn't be able to play the Optus game.

Do we know if this will apply to any other Scorchers?

Thanks, I missed that. I’ve been a bit skeptical on him, so maybe I wasn’t paying enough attention.

 

[Darkie]

6/692 for me. Hopefully my side can continue its recent improvement.

Your ranking should be pretty good by the end of this round. Biggest score I’ve seen.

 

[McLovin]

4/479 Dre
No Marsh is gonna hurt, I need Stoinis and Zampa to step up tomorrow.

 

[Lion4life]

3/526 with Philippe, Curran, Jordan, Kerr, Zampa, Maxwell, Clarke, Russell (C) to come)

If Kerr doesn't play I'll grab an 8 from Seymour.

 

[Ironhawk]

6/511. Way off the pace this round, more like how I expected I would score in Rd 1 and 2.

 

[7/11]

6/646

Curran, Philippe, Dre Russ (C), Maxwell and Couch left. Marsh and Agar doing brilliantly tonight really helped. Short struggled his way to a passable score, which has been the way his season has panned out so far.

Dunno what a good score will be, but it will depend heavily on the likes of Stoinis, Zampa, Maxwell and Dre Russ I’m sure.

It'll certainly be quite a bit better than it is now

Evans , Munro & Patterson were in Sydney until the first game but I am pretty sure they are in the clear.

Related to the date that Mills arrived in Sydney.

Post 3,936 is the article about Mills , @Bomber18 posted it.

I did pose the question in one of my replies.

Just shows why we need a seperate thread with important information.

At least people are aware of it now.

Maybe their has been a workaround by now.

Hurricanes fly in on the 19th to play so no idea why Mills couldn't fly in under similar circumstances

The Perth Scorchers begin their quest for a record fourth Big Bash League title against Brisbane Heat at Optus Stadium on Wednesday without a host of big names.

English speedster Tymal Mills will arrive in Australia on Monday after finishing up his T10 commitments in the UAE and won’t feature in the two Perth games against the Heat and Hobart Hurricanes on December 22 because of quarantine.

Mills is likely to only play one of the first four games, against his old team Hobart at Blundstone Arena on December 14

T20 World Cup hero Mitch Marsh and gloveman Josh Inglis will also miss the start of the tournament with Australia ‘A’ duties, but Ashton Agar has been released in a great result.

Bancroft will take the gloves until Inglis is available and is likely to open the batting alongside powerful New Zealand import Colin Munro in his absence as well.

Last season’s leading BBL wicket-taker Jhye Richardson is unlikely to be seen for most - if not all - of BBL11 because of Ashes duties.

Richardson has been replaced in the squad by fellow West Aussie seamer David Moody who was let go by the Hobart Hurricanes so was not included in the best XI.

Emerging WA quick Lance Morris, who has signed from Melbourne Stars, admits he is “touch and go” for the early games because of a side strain playing Sheffield Shield recently, with teenage allrounder Cooper Connolly (finger) also sidelined.

It leaves as little as 13 available players including six from last year’s final loss to Sydney Sixers - Bancroft, Munro, captain Ashton Turner, young allrounder Aaron Hardie and pace duo Andrew Tye and Jason Behrendorff.

The Scorchers’ best XI looks far different to the best available XI for the season opener, with several fringe players in the mix for a call up including Nick Hobson who impressed in last week’s intra-squad hit-out, scoring 90 off 59 balls.

Hobson will likely be battling with New South Wales left-hander Kurtis Patterson for the final batting spot.

Wednesday be English T20 journeyman Laurie Evans’ debut for the franchise.

Munro is the only returning import with last season’s all-England opening combination of Liam Livingstone and Jason Roy not coming back.

It means Inglis is likely to get a promotion to the top of the order, where he batted a couple of seasons ago during a breakout tournament.

Marsh should bat at first drop, a position he made his own for Australia’s T20 side on his way to a player-of-the-final performance against New Zealand.

The best XI is littered with bowling options with eight players regularly rolling the arm over, but the likely game-one side has seven including Hardie who has only just started bowling again after off-season elbow surgery.

Scorchers potential XI for game one

1. Cameron Bancroft (wicketkeeper)
2. Colin Munro
3. Laurie Evans
4. Ashton Turner (captain)
5. Nick Hobson
6. Ashton Agar
7. Aaron Hardie
8. Andrew Tye
9. Matthew Kelly
10. Jason Behrendorff
11. Peter Hatzoglou

4/458 (Russell)

No Marsh really hurts. Was a measly $1,800 short of being able to get him.

Bit of work to do from here to post a competitive total for the round.

 

[Woosie]

5/609

 

[Connoisseur]

7/645
Played: M Gilkes, D Sams, M Nabi, X Bartlett, M Marsh, A Tye and A Agar
DGR: G Maxwell, A Zampa, A Russell (C)
Yet to play: T Curran

Already surpassed my total from last round and hopefully should pass my season opening score of 842. The trade of Philippe to Marsh has paid immediate dividends and luckily a minimal projected price change for Wade, to possibly select him over Inglis next round thus relegating Gilkes back to the bench.
