The Cricket Thread (part 9) - from Dec 2024

Went out for 11.
It’s a pity, he’d be wanting to make every post a winner in games like this with Khawaja nearing the end. 4 & 11 isn’t great, I hope he goes well in the next one.

First wicket of the game

Also, the Australian test top three from the first test this summer are the Heat top three in this game. Can’t imagine that’s happened at BBL level before.

Heat have started well. Not good for the Stars if BH win tonight

Wanted to find out a bit about him so went to the cricinfo and CA apps. Not even his age!!


Thank you, Wikipedia.

If Kuhnemanns finger is broken that could cause an issue for the Sri Lanka tour.

Good game.
Stars control their destiny

From cricinfo says it’s his right thumb? Either way a broken thumb and he’s out of the tour. You need left arm orthodox bowlers in SL. Who else do we have ?

Agar? Xavier Doherty? Brad Young?

Someone get Michael Beer out of subbies or whatever local comp he’s mulling around in nowadays.

But if it is a broken thumb, door opens right up for Cooper Connolly to get a debut.

We might have to take Sophie Molineux.

Not sure we would play Connolly as a frontline spinner. It could open the door back up for Zampa.

Also injured.

I say we take Alana King. If she was turning them square at Junction Oval, can only imagine what she’d do on a Sri Lankan pitch.
