Sydney Thunder vs Brisbane Heat – Big Bash League – Toss Report
Sydney Thunder have won the toss and they will bat first against Brisbane Heat in a must-win game of the KFC Big Bash League, shortly commencing at the Stadium http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, Sydney.
The Thunder’s have been in woeful form, and are still searching for their first win of the campaign, despite having the presence of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CH-Gayle-c1221. The left-hander has not been at his best over the past couple of months but needs to put in an authoritative performance if his side is to get their season on track.
A welcome addition to their side will be of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Prior-c1984, who will be aiming to inspire the team to a maiden win. Prior was in a confident mood after touching down in Sydney and was excited to play alongside the Windies dynamite.
"(I'm) thoroughly looking forward to getting stuck in and hopefully turning this season around."To have the opportunity to bat with a player like Chris in Twenty20 cricket is pretty mouth-watering, so hopefully we can get stuck in and put some runs on the board," Prior said.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978. He is likely to partner Gayle upfront.
The Heat is also in a precarious position, having registered just one win from their four matches so far. They are third from bottom in the league, and cannot afford to slip-up. In all probability, they will be aiming to win all their remaining games to have any outright chance of making the knock-out stage.
Pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ben-Cutting-c1132, remains in good form and spoke of his desire to get the better of Gayle early on. Cutting was looking forward to the showdown with the left-hander, and revealed that he will be aiming to pitch the ball as short as possible.
The track looks a good batting wicket, and one expects a high-scoring encounter.
