Renegades showing how truely pathetic the Scorchers batting was. They have really messed up with some of the signings this year and the batters they let go.

Evans is a big loss but the other batters we lost since last season were not adding much at all imo. Hardie is a big loss but you can’t plan for that.

As a general rule however I’ll say the overall impact of a ‘star big hitter’ international recruit in the BBL has been limited at best. Teams have been far more successful recruiting good solid players to play roles within the team rather than the guys that supposedly win the game themselves - in practice they only seem to win one game a season if that.

Finn Allen, the biggest flop in Scorchers import history.
While he might have an occasional game winning innings, learn a lesson ya numpty and at least get a gauge of the wicket before you shut your eyes and try tee off

Remember Adam Lyth?

Remember Adam Lyth?

I remember England won an Ashes series with him averaging 12 as an opener.

Gary pratt had more of an impact a decade earlier for England as a substitute fielder.

This is not an accurate reflection of what has happened. It wasn't 'pathetic'. Huge seam movement.

The bat flip is having a huge say on games at the moment. The ball was moving all over the place for the scorchers first four overs or so. No similar movement later on in second innings.

Allen's failures putting huge pressure on the rest of the side currently.

Also, wth is going on with Morris? Rightly dropped after that pathetic performance in Tassie.

Ok fair enough. I was on my way home from work so didn’t see the scorchers bat the first 13 overs. However did watch the Tassie match and they seemed to be just as bad that game so yeah you may be right about the bat toss.

One thing is certain though. Cooper is going to be something.

He is a bit like Warner in that he can hit good length balls on 4th or 5th stump for 4 (or even 6) as easy as kiss my hand. Makes him hard to bowl to at first class level just as much short formats.

Of course it will cause him to nick off in important test matches occasionally at the least opportune moment to our collective red faced teeth grinding frustration..
