Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3585441, member: 1899"] Late to the party, but it was nice to see the Heat rewarded after such a good season. Their bowling and fielding in particular was much improved and some of their wins were among the best in franchise history. If this thread is anything to go by, bullying works. Lord knows if b4l told me I sucked, I'd certainly listen and change tact and it seems like Brown read the room too. That was an unbelievable knock against the Strikers and just the type of momentum the Heat needed going into the final. Sometimes you just need those inspirational moments to get you over the line. It just gives you that freedom to back yourself. I thought we saw that in the final where Brown struggled early, but really seemed to come into his own when he started slogging. It could have easily gone pear shaped if Dwarshuis took that opportunity, but it just opened the door for the Heat. I was happy to see Renshaw step up when it mattered as well. I don't think he's played to his ability all competition, but he continued what Brown started and I liked the presence of mind to at least attempt that last run. The bowlers all did their job. As others pointed out, Johnson only got better as the competition rolled on and he was a deserving MotM. It's a great story for him and the competition and I thought what shone through was his appreciation of the Heat. He certainly repaid the favour and just following his progress from a no-name who has a bit of something to one of marquee players of the competition has been a highlight. Tall Paul was another cult hero. I don't think there was a more dangerous bowler in the competition than Tall Paul after getting carted for a boundary. I learned never to get fussed after he got smacked for a six because a wicket was sure to follow and it happened again. Even if he wasn't bowling, Tall Paul would somehow get involved. That fielding from Neser was incredible and really was the cherry on top of the night. It looked like it was going to be a tall order without Munro and Billings but the boys got it done and capped off an enjoyable season. [/QUOTE]
