Of all the shots played so far one of the most impressive has to be Morgans late dab today between himself and leg stump.
Hussey and Kallis gave everyone a lesson in batsman ship, pure class!
I don't think Freddie bowled that bad TBH, He came on when 2 of the best bats in the world were set and bowled one bad ball in his first over which Hussey pulled for 4 and a length ball in his 2nd that Kallis smashed miles over deep mid wicket, he went for 24 off 2 which is round about par for the total score. I think he will get better with a game or 2 under his belt.

With the pitches giving the bowlers some pace and bounce to work with it looks like being a more interesting comp than the IPL.

Painful viewing

Seemed to be struggling a bit there. Thought he looked like he was going to go decently after the first ball but just couldn't connect.

I'm enjoying this game, looks like it's going down to the wire.
Really enjoyed Brad Hodge's batting so far.

And here's a familiar face, Ashton Agar

Also the commentator are discussing the players bats now, this is 1million times better than the English hot and giggle competition!

Also worth noting

The Aussie audience get a legend of the game on the mic in Gilly, we get Nasser Hussain and Bob Willis.
They get all the luck down under!

Anyone not watching this is missin out!

126/8 Hodge gone for 42

Game, set and match Scorchers.


As I say that a ball sails into the crowd - 15 from 12! Game on

What a finish. Zampa finally gets bat on ball

[WalkingWicket37]

Strikers win by one wicket!
Great finish to a great game! Adam Zampa runs out the man striking them well and is on strike with 7 needed off 3, 9 wickets down and one of the best T20 bowlers, Yasir Arafat, bowling.

Channel 9 pick up all the Australian equivalents for the test matches . They also get Ponting commentating on some of these games as well.

Anyone care to explain why some professional cricketers are playing with the stickers still on the brim of their caps?

No I know the stickers come with the hats, the hat maker also make hats for MLB/NBA etc, but in those sports stickers aren't allow on the field(court in NBA's case) of play.

I've seen many 'rappers' with the stickers left on their hats, looks stupid IMO.

Looks stupid to anyone over a certain age. But to the youths off today. It's a sacrilege to remove them.
Big bash just trying to go with the times and get the youths interested......






anyway why I came in here. Lol at maxwells batting!
