Wowee, these Oz batters are hopeless against legspin.

6 wickets to Rashid Khan.

He only has 24 balls. A wicket every 4 balls!! He was on a hat trick twice!! (Team hat trick on the first.)

If the batters had any brains, after Rashid's first few wickets, they'd have looked just to survive and play him out. They must have **** for brains. To go with their **** batting techniques. They can't cope with the ball spinning away. e.g. Smith. Brad Hodge was right about that. Maybe that's why Oz is not favourite for the next Slogathon WC at home.

[Donny]

They weren't favourite in the last one, either.

Tomorrow.

Stars/Heat. MCG. 7.15

Have left the Big Bash alone for a few weeks due to all the covid chaos.

This game looks like it's worth a punt. Stars $1.75 - Heat $2.20.

The Stars are a perfect 6-0 against the Heat when playing at home. I think that could change today.

While they lose Mujeeb Ur Rahman, the Heat should get back; Mark Steketee (their leading wicket taker), James Bazley, opener Max Bryant and captain Jimmy Peirson.

A wager on the Heat for me in this one. A token bet on a century being scored in the game @ 8/1.
