Heat well in this.
Need 52 from 42 balls.
Khawaja 52* (37).
Big Bash League Finals.
Wow... Well done to Ashton Turner the other day... with some help from Bancroft.
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.

Yep can’t go past the Scorchers to win yet another big bash season. They are experienced campaigners who know how to pace themselves and cope with the inevitable pressure situations during the game. A very good unit who deserve to win.
I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas. A Perfect Storm

"With the Brisbane Heat's quartet of Test stars jetting off to India today, the heavy task of filling their shoes is set to fall on Nathan McSweeney, Max Bryant and Sam Heazlett for Thursday's Challenger final.
Captain Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Matthew Renshaw and Mitch Swepson all flew out to India today for the four-Test Border Gavaskar series."
