They had a chance while big-hitting Hastings was there but he's gone now.

Dropped a few in England too. Strange he came into the England team with a great fielding reputation.

I thought the game went when KP was out.

I've seen Hastings bat. He can be very destructive in short form cricket.

Finals between Perth Scorchers and Sydney Sixers at Manuka Oval

Very pleased to see the Stars lose (yet) another semi-final. Sorry, fts, but I am sure you can guess why I am so pleased.


Stars were the only team in the finals that I wanted to lose, so now that that's done, I will happily go back to my traditional allegiance to NSW. Go Sixers!!

Should be a good final. Scorchers were good tonight.

i think the sixers will win, but once again the Stars fail..

I'm only a Stars fan by default - they play their home matches at the MCG, where I'm a member, so I pay my 600 notes a year and get to watch all the cricket and footy there for free. Oh, and I'll be going to both Real Madrid games to be played there in July. That King Eddy is CEO is just bad luck. But for the record, I don't feel the least bit bad that we have James Faulkner on our books, or Jackson Bird, who comes from NSW anyway.

Cameron White has had a bit of sook in the media saying that some changes need to be made for next season. I think that given that we were without David Hussey (injured) for the duration and Peter Handscomb for most of the comp, I thought our season was pretty fruitful. Not having Faulkner and Big No Show in the semi didn't help, but the Scorchers are a pretty handy outfit. The only change I would make is moving on Luke Wright for a foreign bowler.

As for the final, I'm leaning towards the Scorchers in this one, although a Sixers win would be the perfect way for Bing to exit the game.

Come on the Sixers!

Sixers won the toss and are batting first.

the notts connection failed for the sixers this morning

44/3. Scorchers have had the better start so far.

49/4 now after 9.2 overs

not looking good for the sixers

great innings from henriques , sixers looked to be struggling to get to 120 but he has got them close to 150 with 77 from 57

Very good innings from Henriques. 98 runs in that last partnership.

Not sure if it's enough but at least Scorchers have something to chase.
