BBL Match 20 Melbourne Renegades v Adelaide Strikers 2/1 1845hrs @ Docklands Stadium

[Moonwatcher]

Overton sure hands.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Renegades imploding

 

[Around the Wicket]

Renegades probably lost like 30 runs playing Harvey early

40+ imo.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Strikers need a Duckett to put at mid off

4 foot midget wouldn’t have caught that haha

 

[Gift]

Brown/Evans surge would have been fun to watch... but I guess Renegades loves to show their fans the usual self implosion instead

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Harvey shouldn't even be playing. Great fielder but has never fired a shot consistently batting. I would have him first drop if he is going to be in the team not the middle order where you need an acceleration, be isn't that type of player, very limited.

Why they didn’t call the surge after drinks I’ll never know

 

[madjoe]

can't cricket VIC tell them to play dixon over harvey. better for all as the kid can play

 

[largebus]

It would be an impressive performance from the Strikers to lose from here

We keep making head scratching decisions during our batting innings

With both Brown & Bethell looking pretty settled at the crease, it should have been one over back after the drinks break and then call the surge with two set batsmen

Then we lose a wicket and send in Harvey

Brown gets out, Evans faces one ball and opts to call the surge

Harvey & Evans both out the first over of the surge

Where we should have been looking at 160+ with both Brown & Bethell in, but then really ****ed up overs 11->15

Is he like Nielsen for Sa? Getting a game due to who his old man is?

Isn't Harvey now in South Australia? Pretty sure he's not with Victoria (for Shield cricket)

 

[cats_09]

Is Will Sitherland a better batsman than a first class average of 18 would indicate?

Put one into the roof at KP the other year

 

[Plugger35]

I still don't know why Sutherland doesn't bat higher, lucky the Gades are so shit that he usually still gets a decent bat at no.7.

Same as JFM

 

[Some Idiot]

Can someone sell me on the idea of Mackenzie Harvey (outside his spectacular fielding) ?

He did make a ton for SA in the one day cup, would say he hits pretty well square of the wicket on a road like Adelaide oval.

 

[Moonwatcher]

13 off it. Need to keep the foot on the throat.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Every time a Victorian calls someone a "campaigner" I'm convinced they read BF and they're shouting us out.

Thanks Hodgey, we love you, should've played a lot more test cricket.

AO boundary square wouldn't even be the ring at the 'G' would it ?

Same as JFM

interesting.. Tasmania 2.0 ?

 

[western royboy]

Win the toss & field.

Bold move.

Clever move it would seem, Pitch is not up to standard for this type of competition

Same as Stars with Kellaway over Rogers

Commentators do drop bigfootisms every so often. Blewett definitely reads the BBL threads.

 

[Chuckie357]

Geez loves himself with his catch doesn’t.

 

[Tugga27]

Have they mentioned a crowd figure?

I've said it since our match in Geelong - if they want to play both JFM & Harvey, swap them in the batting order

Let Harvey anchor the innings with the big hitters batting around him - means he's not coming in down the order and trying to go from ball one

Could also free up JFM if he came in down the order where he had the luxury to go from ball one as he's just looking lost trying to open at the moment

Uh oh….
