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

[largebus]

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

Piss off with the back in my day bullshit.

Sutherland bowled one that kept below waist then a fuller one that went over the head.

 

[cats_09]

Is called off

At the ground the latest is, "match suspended, more info to come"

 

[LukeParkerno1]

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

Imagine facing Jhye Richardson on this.

Or Tye damn I wish Morris was bowling on this

 

[Rob]

Given the pitch isn't going to get any better it's hard to see play restarting

 

[cats_09]

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

I'd do the opposite - move out of Marvel and down to here

It's a pretty good crowd in tonight and I wouldn't be surprised if the greatest percentage of the Gades supporter base is from this side of Melbourne

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Great to see Cricket Victoria maintaining its years of high standards when it comes to pitch maintenance.

 

[Outtatym]

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…

I'm not banning anything. Just saying it's amateur hour to let a pitch get soaked like this at this level

 

[Mighty Storm]

I believe under 6 overs for the whole match and fans get a refund,amazing how it always just goes above that

Sutherland bowled one that kept below waist then a fuller one that went over the head.

Exaggerating much? Did the ball not go dead straight with even bounce for the poor batsman.

 

[Balls In]

Embarrassing. Is CA more incompetent than AFL?

The pitch is a farce and whether you love it or not it’s a horrendous look. Marvel is perfect where weather doesn’t come into it

 

[Blackhawk42]

R.I.P Gades season.
R.I.P BBL Supercoach players.

Had Aaron Hardie as captain too.

This is the worst start in the history of the comp.

A flogging, a washout and an 'unsafe' pitch.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

Play it at Marvel you dumb campaigners

 

[Around the Wicket]

De Kock flies all this way and we dish this pitch up

 

[candyapple]

This is a drop in pitch?

 

[010203]

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.

Had to admire the optimism of those who turned up to the Adelaide Oval last night.

Jesus if I didn't get a refund I wouldn't be back anytime soon. At the very least i'd expect a free ticket to another game

 

[candyapple]

Really sounds like Punter and Brayshaw want an early night lol

 

[PhatBoy]

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

Imagine facing Jhye Richardson on this.

They actually don’t seem all that convinced about it. Gilchrist says he thinks it probably is, Vaughan says maybe.

Yeah, it could be.

But geez cricket at every single level is as much about c**ts from both teams standing around in a circle with their hands in their pockets as it is about bats and balls.

 

[Around the Wicket]

This is the average weekender to be fair

 

[western royboy]

This is a drop in pitch?

Yes one pitch only - I’d say it’s slightly lower and that’s how the water has got under the covers - it happens

 

[greatwhiteshark]

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

Imagine facing Jhye Richardson on this.

They are trained to say it, they might offend people at home otherwise. Of course it would be difficult to bat on. That’s cricket. Well it was once.

 

[Outtatym]

JB hates Geelong with a passion haha

 

[pattymalone00]

far out bloody geelong lol

 

[NYRB]

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

The competition becomes a laughing stock.
