Scorchers accountant Hobson won’t quit his day job yet
(SMH)
Yeah, well before he thinks about quitting he should learn not to do an FTB Smith and BBQ his captain on the second run... |

Turner knows how to get the job done under pressure... in BBL, anyway. Will George B. give him another chance to do that for Oz?
Unlike FTB Smith... Slogged some meaningless runs in previous slogathons with no pressure (and with luck, when the bails didn't come off). Then when it's a BBL final with a teeny weeny bit more pressure, FTB fails. (And this when oppo were missing J. Richardson and Kelly.)
Sheesh... He got a life on 12, when the oppo fielder dropped a sitter. But FTB still made only 18 (c&b by Englishman Payne). So that's an average of 9 runs per chance.
So Smith is a flat-track bully and a downhill skier. |
And Turner does it again! FTB fanboys must be so jealous!!

Perth Scorchers skipper looked like he was powering his side to another title with a trademark match-winning knock before an untimely run out stopped his innings'

Before the final:
'Big game player': Turner's imposing finals record
3 February 2023, 02:18 PM AEST
https://www.cricket.com.au/news/ashton-turner-big-game-player-perth-scorchers-bbl-12-final-brisbane-heat-sixers-perth-stadium/2023-02-03
'Ashton Turner is a big game player and if the Heat bowlers can stop him tomorrow night, they'll go a long way to winning their second KFC BBL crown.
With 182 runs at 60 striking at 161 in his last five Big Bash finals, Turner is clearly one of the nation's best players in the biggest moments.
He rescued his side last weekend in the Qualifier against the Sixers with an unbeaten 84 and he rescued them again in the BBL|11 Final last year with 54 in a 104-run partnership with Laurie Evans.
...
Scorchers head coach Adam Voges says it's Turner's "high cricket IQ with enough risk factor" that makes his batting and captaincy so effective in big moments.' |

Turner def has the temperament to lead Oz's slogathon side.
But can he perform with the bat? The standard of the BBL looks pretty low. So dunno what to make of BBL runs. Then again, guys like Finch, Stoinis, Wade, even Maxwell have been mainly BBLers, not IPLers... And they've had their moments for Oz.
Surely it'd've been better for Oz's doomed WC squad to include Turner than FTB, who failed dismally. |

Meanwhile, the Hun reports FTB Smith has been in "secret talks" to play in the new US T20 league, "Major League Cricket". The Hun also says: FTB has hinted at retirement from international cricket; NY is like a "second home" for FTB and his wife.
Stay tuned... |
