BBL 2016/17: 5 key moments from the Brisbane Heat vs Perth Scorchers

#2 Bresnan makes his comeback memorable

Bresnan was impressive in his comeback

The Scorchers went into the match without two of their key all-rounders; Mitchell Marsh and David Willey had been called up for national duty by their respective teams. In came Hilton Cartwright and Willey’s fellow Englishman Tim Bresnan. The England all-rounder had been away from cricket for a while but showed no signs of it in his spell of 2/29.

He started with an 11-run over in which McCullum hit him for a six straight down the ground but came back to pick two important wickets in the middle overs. Left-hander Nathan Reardon was his first victim, caught out by a spectacular effort at mid-wicket by Klinger.

In the final over of his spell, he also accounted for the big hitting Ben Cutting, who was also at the receiving end of an excellent fielding display by the Scorchers, this time by Turner.
