BBL Match 10 Melbourne Renegades v Perth Scorchers 23/12 1845hrs @ Docklands

[Greenstar5]

The ground was a dirt race track for motox 3 weeks ago. Ground staff probably did their best. Looks bad on TV.

You not watching huh?

I'm at the ground

Not once have the umpires come together for a discussion about things - in Geelong last year there was discussions, tonight they're getting on with things & playing the game

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Bat doesn't slide, ball stops dead in the outfield, pitch very 2 paces.

It's not a professional standard. If a player rolls and ankle in the field, it's got to be asked.

Slide your bat on the crease bats have become so lazy with this lately. You can play the ball along the ground through the V get you 4-5 an over.

There’s only one ground worse for cricket than Geelong and it’s this ground and we play at both of them

Also looks bad when anything physical touches the grass/dirt/mud

 

[serial_thrilla]

Be good if the commentators actually had the stones to just call this out.

Just saw your comment on CricInfo.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Pressure was on because CC and Jennings batted with very little intelligence and didn't even tick the scoreboard over. I'd blame them more than Inglis there.

I don’t know why Inglis isn’t opening in the first place or 3 at worst. Jennings looks a worse Carberry (sorry for the bad memories mate)

 

[010203]

Surely this gets called off.

This won't call it off unless safety becomes an issue.

 

[cats_09]

He definetly was not aiming for that spot

I thought he was aiming for a roof hit 6

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Perfect pitch for a Turner type of bat too

 

[010203]

Gah that’s bad Josh

Carey would have hit it for 6.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

The whole surface is not a good look for TV

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

This won't call it off unless safety becomes an issue.

Is the emotional well being of everyone whose watching this garbage a issue of safety

 

[Andronicus]

Commentators sticking to the gag order very well so far.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Carey would have hit it for 6.

Well played Sir

Is it not common sense to not host a motorcross rally before some cricket games btw?

I think next year keep games in Geelong til mid January

Geelong isn't a good venue either and has had some dodgy pitches, the Junction Oval has better pitches but lacks the capacity.

 

[gtrxuone]

Scorchers need a bit of luck in this innings

I've read they've got the Motorcross scheduled again next year

That being the case, play the opening home game at KP again and away for our other pre new year matches - even better, maybe have the first Melbourne derby at the MCG before Xmas as that gives a second match in Melbourne

 

[THE A5]

Fold the scorchers

 

[largebus]

Turner gone, unless Hobson gets 50 that's game

 

[Andronicus]

Stayed so low.

 

[eddiesmith]

Why?

Doesn't look like anyone out in the middle is raising questions

Said the other night, if the game at Geelong was against the Scorchers they’d have been demanding it be called off again.

Can’t have a pitch that doesn’t suit the precious little orange team.

 

[Plugger35]

The Scorchers will be lucky to get 100 from here.

 

[norway blue]

Poor slog.
