'Mood is high': Head coach Adam Voges excited about Perth Scorchers being part of BBL's opener in Chennai

Perth Scorchers coach Adam Voges has described the Big Bash League’s first match outside Australia as a historic opportunity to deepen cricket ties with India, the world’s largest cricket market. The defending champions will face Melbourne Renegades at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium on 12 December to open BBL|16, the first fixture by a foreign franchise league on Indian soil. &nbsp;Voges, speaking to WION’s Sidhant Sibal in Delhi, called it an “incredibly exciting” and “historic moment”.&nbsp;“What better place to bring the Big Bash than to the biggest cricket market in the world,” he said. Hosting the season opener in Chennai was something the club was “incredibly excited about”. &nbsp;Voges captained the Scorchers to Big Bash titles in BBL|04 and BBL|06 before taking over as head coach for the 2018-19 season. He has since guided the club to championships in BBL|11, BBL|12 and BBL|15, becoming the joint-most successful head coach in BBL history alongside Justin Langer. &nbsp;A former Australia international, who played 58 times across formats, scored 1,485 Test runs at an average of 62, including five centuries, in 20 matches. After retiring from first-class cricket, he also oversaw Western Australia’s three consecutive Sheffield Shield titles.&nbsp;Also read| <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/rachin-ravindra-freak-injury-promo-shoot-doubtful-india-t20is-1789789179308">Rachin Ravindra doubtful for India T20Is after suffering 'freak injury' during promo shoot</a> &nbsp;“India was the natural destination,” Voges said, because it is “the biggest cricketing nation and the biggest cricketing market in the world”.&nbsp;Taking the competition to “the most knowledgeable fans in the world” offered a chance “to create some new relationships and some new fans for the Perth Scorchers”, alongside the immediate aim of winning the opening game. &nbsp;Bringing the BBL to India was “the starting point” for something longer-term between Australia and India, and specifically between Western Australia and India. Sport, he added, remains “a great connector”.&nbsp;Beyond the field, the focus on high performance created scope to “tap into local Indian knowledge [and] local Indian resources” and share expertise in ways that could benefit both sides.&nbsp;Voges, who played against Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni, highlighted the enduring Australia-India rivalry. He cited VVS Laxman’s double-century that helped India win after following on, Australia’s recent World Cup success in the country, and the forthcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy.&nbsp;The next generation of Indian talent also impressed him. “Some of the talent in this country is amazing,” he said.

Perth Scorchers coach Voges hails historic first foreign Big Bash game in Chennai

Perth Scorchers extended their Big Bash League (BBL) dominance by winning a record sixth title, beating Sydney Sixers by six wickets at Perth Stadium on Sunday (Jan 25). Chasing 133, Scorchers made a strong start with openers Mitchell Marsh and Finn Allen putting on 80 runs in just over eight overs, putting the Sixers under pressure early. Despite a couple of quick dismissals, big-hitter Josh Inglis guided the team home, finishing the match with a six. Earlier, the Scorchers’ bowlers did a brilliant job, restricting the Sixers to 132, with Jhye Richardson and David Payne taking three wickets each, while Mahli Beardman claimed two.

<h2>Openers set the tone, Inglis seals win</h2>The Scorchers’ chase was powered by an explosive opening stand between Mitchell Marsh and Finn Allen. Marsh looked in complete control, playing aggressive shots through the off-side, while Allen complemented him with clean hitting and quick running between the wickets. Their partnership of 80 runs in just 8.2 overs effectively ended the Sixers’ hopes of a comeback.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/meet-top-5-batters-fastest-to-21-000-international-runs-1769165649624">Meet top 5 batters fastest to 21,000 international runs</a>&nbsp;After their dismissal, Aaron Hardie and skipper Ashton Turner failed to make a mark, leaving the team needing a solid finish. That responsibility fell on Josh Inglis, whose experience and big-hitting ability ensured a comfortable finish. Inglis’ final six not only sealed the win but also highlighted his value as a match-winner in high-pressure situations.<h2>Scorchers’ bowling dominates Sixers</h2>The victory was set up by Perth’s disciplined bowling attack. After electing to field first, Jhye Richardson and David Payne led the way with three wickets each, while Mahli Beardman chipped in with two crucial dismissals. The Sixers struggled to build partnerships, with Steve Smith, Josh Philippe, and Moises Henriques all falling for just 24 runs respectively.&nbsp;None of the batters managed to score big, and the total of 132 was always going to be challenging to defend against a strong Scorchers batting lineup. This win marks Perth’s ninth appearance in a BBL final and reinforces their position as the most consistent team in the league’s history. With six titles to their name, the Scorchers continue to set the benchmark for excellence in the Big Bash League.

Perth Scorchers claim record sixth BBL title, defeating Sydney Sixers with strong batting and bowling performances, continuing their dominance in the Big Bash League.

Sydney Sixers sealed a dramatic last-ball win over Perth Scorchers in Australia's domestic T20 tournament Big Bash League on Monday (Jan 16) to finish the group stage at second place. Needing 198 to win, Sixers were comfortably on course with 181/3 in 18 overs before the tables turned. Sixers skipper Moises Henriques and Player of the Match Daniel Hughes then kept their nerves in the last 12 balls to see the team home by three wickets.

The drama started with three wickets in the penultimate over bowled by Jason Behrendorff. The pacer took two wickets on the first two balls before a run out on the last ball while giving away just four runs in the over. Things got even more interested in the final over bowled by Scorchers skipper Aaron Hardie as he took a wicket off the first legal ball of his over.

Hardie gave three runs in the next two balls as the equation read nine required of three balls left.

The Big Bash League match between Melbourne Renegades and Perth Scorchers was called off on Sunday (Dec. 10) due to unsafe pitch at Geelong cricket ground, Australia. The Renegades were 30/2 in 6.5 overs when the game was called off by the umpires with Aaron Hardie unbeaten on 20 off 23 and Josh Inglis batting on 3 off 7.&nbsp;

The pitch got damaged due to consistent rain on Saturday (Dec. 9) and water which crept under the covers. Cricket Australia issued a statement on the incident which read: "CA will conduct a thorough review into the extremely frustrating circumstances that have resulted in the game being abandoned and a huge disappointment for fans and players."

The batters felt unsafe while batting as the ball bounced and swung unexpectedly high and wide on occasion, posing a threat to players' safety. Former Australia cricketer and Renegades veteran Aaron Finch told the broadcaster Fox Sports that the ball was taking 'big divots' off the surface after pitching.

"Josh Inglis said it felt dangerous when he was batting," Finch said. "It's just bouncing ridiculously. If that's bouncing on line with someone's body or their head, then that could (cause) some real issues."

Big Bash League match between Melbourne Renegades vs Perth Scorchers called off due to unsafe pitch

Melbourne Stars will miss a gem in Glenn Maxwell for their next BBL tie against Perth Scorchers due to injury. The ‘Big Show’ - as most fans often refer to him, suffered an injury to his forearm during the curtain-raiser against Brisbane Heat at the Gabba, where&nbsp;he scored 23 off 14 balls.

During the game, he got medical attention twice and even had his forearm tapped. After his dismissal, Maxwell was spotted using an ice pack inside the dugout.

With Maxwell out of the next game, the onus would again fall on seasoned campaigner Marcus Stoinis to shoulder the responsibility in the batting line-up. Glenn’s absence means Stars will also miss a crucial bowling option in the middle overs. All of this will pile pressure on them, considering they will look to bounce back following an embarrassing start to the tournament (losing the opener by 103 runs).

Though Stars will be without Maxwell in their next tie against Perth on Wednesday (December 13), the all-rounder is expected to return to the XI for their third match of the season against Sydney Thunders in Albury on December 23.

"Biggest forearms in the world, and he's pulled a muscle," team-mate Hilton Cartwright joked before Maxwell’s injury confirmation. "He's had a nice break, came back super positive, and he's still super positive [after the loss]. On a night like tonight, you've got to keep reminding yourself you're not a bad team."

<h2>Another star player out</h2>

Besides Maxwell, Stars will also miss their experienced all-rounder Nathan Coulter-Nile after he suffered a calf strain against Brisbane Heat. Nathan walked out to bat at number 11 with a runner during the game.

Meanwhile, the Stars are hopeful of including one of their foreign recruits, Haris Rauf, in their next game against Perth. Rauf didn’t feature in the opener as he landed in the country by then.&nbsp;

Melbourne Stars will miss a gem in Glenn Maxwell for their next BBL tie against Perth Scorchers due to injury. The ‘Big Show’ - as most fans often refer to him, suffered an injury to his forearm during the curtain-raiser against Brisbane Heat at the Gabba, where he scored 23 off 14 balls.

Melbourne Stars will miss a gem in Glenn Maxwell for their next BBL tie against Perth Scorchers due to injury. The ‘Big Show’ - as most fans often refer to him, suffered an injury to his forearm during the curtain-raiser against Brisbane Heat at the Gabba, where he scored 23 off 14 balls. During the game, he got medical attention twice and even had his forearm tapped. After his dismissal, Maxwell was spotted using an ice pack inside the dugout. With Maxwell out of the next game, the onus would again fall on seasoned campaigner Marcus Stoinis to shoulder the responsibility in the batting line-up. Glenn’s absence means Stars will also miss a crucial bowling option in the middle overs. All of this will pile pressure on them, considering they will look to bounce back following an embarrassing start to the tournament (losing the opener by 103 runs). Though Stars will be without Maxwell in their next tie against Perth on Wednesday (December 13), the all-rounder is expected to return to the XI for their third match of the season against Sydney Thunders in Albury on December 23. ALSO READ: AUS v PAK: ‘We protect each other a lot’ - Captain Cummins on backing Warner over Johnson’s criticism "Biggest forearms in the world, and he's pulled a muscle," team-mate Hilton Cartwright joked before Maxwell’s injury confirmation. "He's had a nice break, came back super positive, and he's still super positive [after the loss]. On a night like tonight, you've got to keep reminding yourself you're not a bad team." Another star player out Besides Maxwell, Stars will also miss their experienced all-rounder Nathan Coulter-Nile after he suffered a calf strain against Brisbane Heat. Nathan walked out to bat at number 11 with a runner during the game. "Nathan Coulter-Nile will undergo scans this weekend to determine damage to a calf injury suffered whilst bowling against the Brisbane Heat," a club statement said. Meanwhile, the Stars are hopeful of including one of their foreign recruits, Haris Rauf, in their next game against Perth. Rauf didn’t feature in the opener as he landed in the country by then.

<h2>BBL goes home-away</h2>

There will be five fewer doubleheaders compared to recent seasons with eight in total. The season opener will see Brisbane Heat, runners-up from last season, host Melbourne Stars at the Gabba. Interestingly, the Stars will feature in the season opener for the third consecutive year.

<h2>IPL-like Playoff format in place</h2>

Unlike previous seasons, the upcoming season will have four teams making the knockouts which will have an IPL-like format. The top two teams after the league stage will see play in the Qualifier with the winner directly qualifying for the final on Friday, January 19. On the other hand, the third and fourth-placed teams will play in the Knockout (Eliminator in IPL) which will see the winner play against the loser of the qualifier on Monday, January 22 in the Challenger (Qualifier 2 in IPL). The winner of the Challenger will play in the BBL final.

Big Bash League: Mitchell Marsh's 93 off 41 help Perth Scorchers beat Brisbane Heat

Australia batsman <a href="http://www.wionews.com/search?q=bancroft">Cameron Bancroft</a> scored just two runs after returning from a nine-month ban while playing in a Big Bash League clash on Sunday.&nbsp;

Bancroft came in after Ashton Turner's wicket but lost his wicket to Riley Meredith after facing three balls at&nbsp;Launceston's Aurora Stadium.

His ban for <a href="http://www.wionews.com/search?q=ball+tampering">ball-tampering</a> expired on December 29 and he was immediately rushed into the Perth Scorchers squad for their BBL clash with the Hobart Hurricanes.&nbsp;

The 26-year-old opener was suspended from international and state cricket after attempting to alter the ball in a Test against South Africa in March.&nbsp;

Then-Australian captain Steve Smith and his deputy David Warner were exiled for a year with their suspensions due to run out in late March.&nbsp;

"What a journey this has been over the last nine months," Bancroft wrote on Instagram when his ban got completed.&nbsp;

"Grateful of where I am and the person I continue to grow to be. Thank you to every person, group, team and community I have come across over the last nine months. You know who you are."&nbsp;

He claimed he went along with it "to fit in" and because he "didn't know any better".&nbsp;
