Dunno why I went, but I did with one of my bowls teammates, we got a perfect view from Level 5 in the Members, and we got to see the Perth Scorchers lose 7 wicket for 5 runs in 3 overs with one of the great collapses ever seen…

And still knock off the Melbourne Renegades with relative comfort.

They ended up getting 42,000 people to Optus Stadium, which is a record for a Big Bash game on Boxing Day (And the biggest crowd of this season to date), and the treat was a half-time light & pyrotechnics show by Luude:

I’ll be honest, when I first heard the name Luude, I thought it was former Renegades & Strikers wicketkeeper Tim Ludeman doing his world class impressions for 15 minutes.
