‘Never thought he’d fly down’: Wade’s cheeky Warner sledge as must-win clash -looms – BBL LIVE

Two of Australia’s biggest cricket names headline Sunday’s clash between the Hobart Hurricanes and the Sydney Thunder, with both teams desperate for a win to help them surge up the ladder.

The Hurricanes (6th, 4-9), who’ve won two of their past three games, will regain the services of star skipper Matthew Wade, who returns from personal leave.

The Thunder (5th, 5-5), who copped a nine-wicket thumping courtesy of the Perth Scorchers late last week, will have superstar Aussie David Warner opening the batting.

“It’s good to see him (Warner) down here. I never thought he’d get back on a plane and come down,” Wade told reporters.

“It will be great for the crowd to see him out there. I don’t think he will be around long enough though for me to chirp him behind the stumps.”

This match gets underway at 1.40pm (AEDT) from Blundstone Arena.

Watch it live on Fox Cricket (Channel 501) from 1.10pm.
