Cameron White has having a super season in all formats of the game this year, i think it was lehman who said he was very, very close to national selection again.

bugger!

I wondered why he wasn't scoring me any points. Is he out for long?
I heard him interviewed the other day, he said a few weeks. I would have thought that would come close to the end of the tournament. While al Hasan may be a star with the bat (as well as ball), the Strikers missed the "Hussey like" approach to batting that Botha may have given them last night.

There was a lot of headless chook impersonating going on.



Yes, it was Boof, CF9.

The first Windian to join a team this season...after the T20s in NZ, I presume.

He deserves another chance, I think. He'll possibly feature in te ODI series at some point. Could be an outside chance for selection to tour South Africa... but only if Gorge Bailey is dropped.

This might be an interesting last over. Rob Quiney will need to do the business here.

There's been some good bowling from the old war horse James Hopes, who has kept the Heat in this match. The Stars have been missing the "Big Show."

Ok, so Rob Quiney won't be doing the business tonight, somebody else will have to.

Hales, Wright and Buttler have standout SRs among the BBL batters. Though a way behind Maxwell.
