Well deserved win by the Aussies. Outclassed us in every department. Bit bloody rich of the sun to get involved too by taking down our captain though ;)

Nope, apparently Rooty devoured a dodgy Vindaloo for dinner last nightQuote:

Well another Ashes passes into history. A great win and as usual after such anticipation, there's a little regret it's all over. Different to a losing series, which I try to move on from as quickly as possible. :)
Suzi must have been in townQuote:

Same for both of the Marsh brothers, although Shaun Marsh had missed the BBL through a Quad strain he picked up in the Sydney Test.
The inclusions of all 3 made both sides stronger on paper but in the case of the Scorchers it forced Hilton Cartwright and Ashton Turner who were 2 of the Scorchers form batsman through out the tournament to bat lower with less time.
Having said that the Scorchers bowlers lost that game. They bowled 20 overs of rubbish. I’m not sure the call to go with an all pace attack was the right one.
Pleased to advise that this is now safely back to where it rightly belongs.

Can I add that Mitch Marsh was a disaster with both ball and bat. I knew as soon as I saw the team sheet that having the Marsh brothers replace those players who actually got us to the SF was a mistake. Over-entitled and arrogant those two are!Quote:
