Perth Scorchers players Laurie Evans, Ashton Agar, Aaron Hardie, and Mahli Beardman were forced to push their broken-down Uber to the side of the road en route to a Big Bash League match against the Sydney Thunder on December 30. The incident, captured and shared on social media, was later discussed by player Laurie Evans during the live broadcast. Despite the unusual pre-game travel hiccup, the Scorchers dominated the match, scoring 202 runs and bowling out the Thunder for 131 to secure a significant win.
