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

[NYRB]

Its Josh Inglis or bust for the Perth Scorchers tonight.

Bowlers are gonna have to bail us out of this. Pitch looks dicey as

 

[western royboy]

But we all played today on perfect grounds, a worry if the BBL ground isn’t looked after better than a council owned ground…

It’s a drop in and I’m guessing a little bit lower than the rest and sone water has leaked under the covers - don’t think they were over keen to play

 

[Snarls Barkley]

That was a slow edge

Still have Hardie there, Turner to come and Laurie Evans is a good bat

 

[NYRB]

Sutherland beats Josh Inglis all ends up on that final delivery of the over.

One thing for sure , the runs aren't flowing as smoothly as they are on those Indian grounds/pitches compared to Geelong tonight.

Shocking T-20 surface

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Why would you take pace off

 

[NYRB]

Aaron Hardie had a problem against Spin in India recently in the T20 tour, so good move by Maddinson to get Mujeeb up against him early.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Its Josh Inglis or bust for the Perth Scorchers tonight.

Without jinxing him, it seems like a perfect Turner night. A backs against the wall type of guy

Far better than the GABBA pitch in first game

It’s fine yeah a little lower score but not every wicket needs to be 200 plus

Impossible to slog on a slow / wet pitch - I’m unsure why you’d bowl slow bowlers

Also a poor Scorchers approach tbf

Hardie looks better playing reverse shots than standard

This is Maddinson captaining. He not the most highest IQ person going around. There is a reason why the Gades have been terrible in the past couple of seasons but surely another underperforming season and he has to be given the boot?

Probably working out what’s defendable maybe 140 odd is a good score

On our pitch today which was slow and a couple of damp patches, the quick bowlers were cannon fodder with the odd ball doing odd things, but the spinner and mediums were unplayable.

Maybe, the ball is hooping, seaming and has slow tennis ball bounce.

140 wins easily

 

[NYRB]

Ricky Ponting "im bowling the quick bowlers all night"

in comms . He agrees with you western royboy

 

[010203]

A target of 130 will feel like 170.

 

[largebus]

That's 3 unplayable balls in a row from suthrland.
They gotta stop this

 

[NYRB]

Damn game could get called off here?

I’d suggest to you that they must have bowled badly if the pitch is doing the same as this - there’s no way they should have been scored off
