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

[Plugger35]

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

With Bethell? I may have gone early on him but McCullum and Stokes rate him.

I'd be surprised if he isn't in the England team for the Ashes tour next summer.

9 runs from that over with no risks taken

That's what makes the Seifert shot for his wicket even more frustrating - he was going well, hit a beautiful 6 the over before and really didn't need to do anything stupid as he was building nicely & forming a good partnership with Bethell

It was also another wicket lost in the 10 balls before the drinks break - don't lose that wicket and we were well placed to take an early surge and build upon it through the innings

But not sure Wells is the ideal option to be in during the surge - but unlike Harvey the other night he's finding the gaps for a single to get Bethell on strike and keep things moving

Six then maybe watch or something. . Can’t slog every ball. FMD.

Both Melbourne teams have been terribly coached in this aspect of the game for a while. They can’t or won’t control the rush of blood and try to hit 36 off every over.

Compare their approaches to Perth or Sixers. It’s not a coincidence that those two dominate almost every year.

The Renegades might scrabble together 140-150, which would be easily chased down by a competent team. The fact it’s the Stars still gives the Gades a chance of a win, as it’s just as likely Maxy and co will try and bludgeon their way to the total instead of taking a measured approach and will get bowled out for 100.

Interesting bowling action from Lawrence…

I'm sitting behind his run up and thought exactly the same

They showed a zoomed in replay highlighting his action on TV. It starts off unusual and just gets weirder from there.

It's White's first season in charge so I'll give him some leeway

But want to see improvements over the season

Bethell reminds me of Cooper Connolly, both bat left handed, both bowl spin, both wise beyond their years.

We've seen a few "different" run ups from spinners over the years -Hatzoglou & was it Dooley with the windmill type action?

They seem to make an impact in their first year or two at BBL level but then fade away just as quickly as they came

This big one being a Fox exclusive is annoying. Usually wouldn't have an issue but I'm away from home tonight at a place where internet is very ordinary, and I also can't be arsed setting up Kayo.

Channel Seven showing horsey crap.

I'm watching it on kayo. So frustrating, as it freezes every 10 minutes

Sweet reverse

I am positive he will be

 

[largebus]

You'd think Fox/Kayo would be the better broadcast but then they have shit like Foxy after every six. Even kids get sick of it after seeing it 3 times

 

[Plugger35]

Vuaghan jumping on the Bethell bandwagon now.

 

[cats_09]

Surge next over please

 

[skipper kelly]

Hammired that one

 

[cats_09]

Perfect placement Wells

 

[Plugger35]

My boy Bethell going alright here.

Barbados.

Hope Rooster & Harvey are watching this innings from Wells

 

[Plugger35]

Jono Wells is underrated, why wasn't he in the Gades starting line up ahead of Harvey.
