Can the next person to hit it please do so hard enough that it breaks and doesn't get seen again...

Hope Rooster & Harvey are watching this innings from Wells

Remind me why he wasn’t in the side the whole season

 

[Plugger35]

Lara like shot from Bethell.

 

[cats_09]

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

He didn't have a great first half of last season, got out single digits a number of times but had a couple of strong innings to finish the season

Can't say for sure, got no inside info on anything, but can only think that they opted for Harvey to start the season as he was the younger option and coaches had half an eye to the future

Wells will stay for the rest of the season now though

Bethell is timing the pants off them.
not sure if Gower but certainly looks good.

 

[Plugger35]

Great back hand throw, why are they reviewing this though.

Until then

Great back hand throw, why are they reviewing this though.

I'm going with, "because the crowd got excited"

There's sorry no other reason

 

[madjoe]

grades time to blow this and get to 140

 

[PoopingHindi]

fudge

 

[Plugger35]

The pitch did him in, even Bethell can't bat on an up and down pitch.

 

[gtrxuone]

48 runs off the last 4 overs
Stars needed that wicket.
Bethell looks another Pom that can play.

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.

Early game.

Who threw that in?

 

[Plugger35]

Evans and Sutherland with less than 4 overs to go, what a waste.

Good knock by Wells

To be fair, Wells did his job tonight

And with 3 overs to go it gives these two absolute freedom to go big and not have to rebuild things

 

[gtrxuone]

Recon the Gages need another 30+runs

Gower was a superb timer . Sublime player. Bring him.

At the sokka but based purely off the output then Wells in one innings did more than. Harvey has done for the whole tournament.

My only gripe is that Sutherland is in too late.

Recon the Gages need another 30+runs

From the 140 at the start of the 18th over, or their current 148?

It's a travesty JFM has played for Australia.
