What a bowling performance from @ScorchersBBL! I thought we needed to get to at least 150 with the bat & we bettered that but I didn't really think that was enough. But wow! We're back baby! #BBL13

Huge win by the @ScorchersBBL once again thanks to their bowling and fielding.
Also the runs from Hobson and Connolly crucial when the chips were down.#BBL #BBL13 #BigBash

Five run penalty for a deliberate short run against the Brisbane Heat. That is not something you see every day! #BBL13

Again @ScorchersBBL prove you should never look away. Outstanding performance with the ball, AJ Tye looked on from first delivery 4/14 . Hobbo & Coops setting up a solid defendable target. That was HOT & enjoyable to warch. Bring on @SixersBBL in battle for @BBL 2nd spot. #BBL13

Scorchers always seem to find a way to win. Thunder always seem to find a way to lose. #BBL13

#BBL13 Getting a look at how the Heat will probably go in the finals 😐 With no Khawaja, Labuschagne, Billings or Munro our batting looks very thin. CA needs to tweak BBL schedule further to enable best players to be available at the pointy end of the season. This sucks.

Brisbane Heat Playing without Khawaja,Marnus, Munro, Billings !
Any how it's a bowling dependent team.

Brisbane Heat have just allowed Andrew Tye to take a wicket maiden. How embarrassing is that?? #BBL13
