BBL Match 23 Melbourne Renegades v Melbourne Stars 4/1 1845hrs @ the MCG

Dropping Bethell that could be costly.

Bethell is the best young English left hander I've seen since David Gower.

Sir Alistair no good?

He’s there to go nuts during the power play but at some stage you just have to put your cue in the rack and change your tactics

Totally

Can see with our recruitment and a batting order of Brown, JFM, Seifert, Bethell & Evans, that we want to be going hard from the start and the idea that if one man falls the next one takes his place

The problem is that we're rarely actually getting off to good starts, often losing a wicket in the first and/or second over which is then putting pressure on our middle order

I don't think we really appreciate how solid Shaun Marsh at the top was for us over recent seasons - he may not have gone at 200 RR in the power play, instead was more often than not sub 100 over his first 10/15 balls, but he knew how to set up an innings and once he reached double figures was damn hard to get out... Then the acceleration would also come

Would love to see someone with a similar temperament to anchor the innings as we really are missing that sort of solid player to build around

 

[largebus]

Hurst has been terrible but considering their relative expectations JFM has been the most disappointing player of the tournament

 

[Plugger35]

Seifert with a massive Toyota Six.

 

[010203]

Good catch by old mate in the crowd.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

That went.

That “FoX-Ray” has to be the worst innovation in some time. Let’s go ahead and draw a stick figure that highlights where a player’s joints are, for reasons…

 

[PoopingHindi]

ball is doing a bit and the wicket looks 2 paced.
still a bad start but maybe not that bad.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

The Stoin bowling some right arm rubbish.

 

[western royboy]

Good catch by old mate in the crowd.

Better effort than Steketee

 

[western royboy]

Shit shot

 

[V_23]

lol, Seifert

Brett Lee is the only one that jizzes over it no one else could give a,f.

 

[cats_09]

Why why why

Do our batsmen have some sort of competition amongst themselves to see who can get out in the most stupid manner

nutmegged lol

Cook was pretty good, he was a run accumulator though like Williamson, Bethell and Gower have more style like Martin Crowe.

The total of runs scored aren't everything, it's how you score them that counts.

Beautiful ball. I love spin bowling

Lol. nutmegged.

Gades gonna Gade

 

[cats_09]

Evans coming in down the order again - wonder if that's been a deliberate decision to use him as more of a finisher/hitter in the second half of the innings rather than him coming in during the first 10 overs

I hope you’re right but I think you are way overrating him from an aesthetic point of view

They’re even using the technology on Border Security now:

 

[010203]

Konstas isn't even playing and Vaughan had to mention him.

 

[PoopingHindi]

saw Wells walk out and wandered how the **** he got in the team. realised it was for Harvey and it’s actually an upgrade.
sad

 

[V_23]

Interesting bowling action from Lawrence…

Strange considering he's used to coming in early for the Scorchers because the openers would fail most of the time
