BBL Game 4 Melbourne Renegades v Perth Scorchers 1845hrs @ Kardinia Park

[LukeParkerno1]

It's a poor slot all round but even if we did have a slot there isn't enough money in it to get Kohli or the best over here.

They’d get more in a better timselot.

Someone at Channel Seven is preparing to dust off Lethal Weapon.

probably end up with "Best of MKR" or some rubbish

I’m tipping you’ve never played on a wet wicket with a bowler of pace and been standing at the other end? Everything that you’ve trained yourself to do gets thrown out the window, the ball pops off a length, takes divots out of the pitch, it’s a lottery not a game. Cricket and rain/ water do not mix

Grade cricket every weekend

 

[The Lobbster]

Freak accident, many players have been hit in that exact spot and there blood vessel didn't burst.

So why keep players in a position where a freak accident is more likely? I get people want a game but better to call it off BEFORE someone gets hit not after

We need it in Chrismas holidays otherwise they'd get no crowds

What grade - Grade cricket don’t play on decks like that

Abandon Abandon
Don't play
Don't play!!!

 

[PhatBoy]

In this case that’s what it was

How? A team is 2-30 after 6.5 overs.

Gee if I didn’t know better I’d almost think I was watching a cricket match.

 

[Nuggetz]

You’re a proven idiot

Pathetic comment. Surely can post without name calling.

I agree but condense it. I take yesterday it’s a Saturday why isn’t there a double header on at least?

Astro turf level.

Just hope for better weather leading to the KP fixture next season

If we played here Thursday night instead of in Sydney, likely no issue due to good weather in the lead up, and similar if it was played in a week's time as next weekend is looking pretty nice

Shit happened this time - it won't stop future games being played here

Should've been called off before they took the crowds money.

You’ve earned it

Surely time to dust up Alf Stewart and Home and Away

Sydney Grade you get worse pitches then this weekly basis, not every game but often

No Indians play anywhere.

Feel like we were getting good internationals and then a few chose Bangladesh for more money but the introduction of the SA one and the UAE one with the Indian owners and significantly more money has are taking all the best now.

 

[Nuggetz]

Yes they do.

 

[outabounds]

Why the hell do they play down there when it could have been at Marvel. They ony get 5 home games and they are called the MELBOURNE Renegades. Was going to go down there tonight. Glad I didnt bother. Got to say, that game was abandoned on some pretty soft evidence.

 

[Nuggetz]

You’ve earned it

Resort to name calling because you disagree with someone. That really shows your IQ.

You must play cricket in utopia according to your comments.

The WBBL has more games in their season and I'm pretty sure it's over in a shorter period than the BBL - they need to start with a better schedule for the BBL, things like the Gades now having a 10 day break is a joke

 

[Around the Wicket]

I had a ball bend my grill in that pitched about a metre in front of me in 3rd grade lol

 

[western royboy]

I played in Sydney Grade - albeit a few years ago - wouldn’t have played on that - have played on worse but not wet patches in one spot - player safety is a big thing now - sign off on that CA Safety declaration and it’s on your head

Because you can’t eradicate risk. Yes, you can minimise it. I can’t say this with any mathematical certainty but there is probably every chance that a player dies standing at the non strikers end copping a smashed drive from their teammate as they do from a delivery that lands, pops, jags, and bounces right into someone’s neck at the striker’s end

Even ultra soft tennis players carry on in the drizzle
