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

[sydney_gws]

Well that’s game over

Should just bowl spin. Fast bowlers can bowl offspin.

 

[BACCS]

Inglis just said on that last ball ‘this is a joke’

 

[gtrxuone]

Disappointing start to the BBL.
Washout in Adelaide. And now a water affected pitch preparation.

 

[Tugga27]

Is it 1 point each then? You'd think the Gades would be penalised for preparing a dangerous pitch

Not the Gades fault TBF.

 

[largebus]

De Kock flew in just for this match and has to fly out again

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Anytime it is not a batting paradise these days it’s not fair . It’s not dangerous it’s just hard to score on

 

[jackster83]

I'm guessing the only reason they even started this game was so they didn't have to refund tickets.

 

[Outtatym]

Unfortunately can’t control the weather. Just 1 point each. Why aren’t they playing every home game at Marvel

You can control properly covering a pitch.

 

[western royboy]

Curator should be sacked too

Ever prepared a pitch? There’s this thing called weather, it’s unpredictable and sometimes when you do your absolute best…it will beat you. That’s the nature of it.

 

[Santana]

What are they waiting for?

 

[hawkman]

Anytime it is not a batting paradise these days it’s not fair . It’s not dangerous it’s just hard to score on

It is dangerous

 

[greatwhiteshark]

A ball zipped up to Josh Inglis helmet from an innocuous delivery.

Never went near his helmet

 

[cats_09]

All heading back to the rooms now

Nothing said at all at the ground - even as the players walked off

 

[gtrxuone]

On a positive GMHBA stadium looking fantastic.

 

[western royboy]

What a great start to the Big Bash, a game washed out last night and now this game could be called off.

Is called off

 

[PhatBoy]

Anytime it is not a batting paradise these days it’s not fair . It’s not dangerous it’s just hard to score on

Certainly a big element of this

 

[eddiesmith]

You can control properly covering a pitch.

So Manuka is also getting banned? Its going to be a short list, WACA has been called off for dangerous pitches so that’s our too…

 

[LukeParkerno1]

You can control properly covering a pitch.

Things happen it’s a shame but it’s a point each

 

[Rob]

How ironic that it's the only team with a home ground with a roof......

 

[Tugga27]

Anytime it is not a batting paradise these days it’s not fair . It’s not dangerous it’s just hard to score on

It is dangerous.
Vaughan, Gilly and Finch said it was.

Imagine facing Jhye Richardson on this.

 

[BACCS]

41 balls of BBL in the last 2 nights.

This type of downpour is pretty unusual in mid December, can’t remember when it rained 2 straight days like here in Adelaide, was just relentless. No idea why anyone even rocked up to AO last night.

[sydney_gws]

What a great start to the Big Bash, a game washed out last night and now this game could be called off.

And the first game was a poor standard of cricket from the Stars.

 

[Balls In]

What approach do you think they should take?
Pitch is a minefield.

Nah you are right. Pitch is a shocker.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I don't recall too many of any issues with the pitch in previous seasons - so why decide now it should be banned?

They shouldn’t be playing games there anyway- play it at Marvel
