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

[Plugger35]

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

I've got no problem with Wells but wasting a few overs with a couple of tailender sloggers like Brown and JFM is a problem.

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

Wicket looks ok with fast outfield
A few more,of them from Evans will be handy

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.

If you read my comments from last season I was of a similar mind and wanted him in around the 15/16th over mark

He's someone that can go big when given the chance and put on some quick runs

But I've also found when watching him that if he comes in too early he seems a little lost in how to structure his innings - does he go through a rebuilding phase, knock it around until going big or does he just go big type thing

Gades where 3-63 off 10 overs
Looks like a big final 10 over for the Gades.

 

[Tugga27]

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.

LOL

The total of runs is everything.

Everything else is dressing.

 

[gtrxuone]

Well done,to Paris keeping Evens of strike.

 

[Plugger35]

Great death bowling from P Siddy, the old veteran still has some tricks in the kitbag.

 

[cats_09]

Has Wells ever opened?

 

[cats_09]

We've made bit of a mess of this last over

But go the Superman dive

 

[cats_09]

Xavier didn't get the message of run no matter what on that ball - surely he knew he had to get Evans on strike

 

[LukeParkerno1]

lol this batting

 

[Rustin Cohle]

The **** is that camerawork?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Evans is batting too low

 

[010203]

The Renegades have put a very competitive score on the board.

 

[V_23]

Not a bad score, but probably 10 below par

 

[Mr Meow]

Score looks right on par.

Should be a close chase.

 

[Tugga27]

Laurie Evans has to be at 5.

 

[Gift]

Renegades waste Evans batting just like Strikers waste Overton by bring them on sooo late that they always at the end not out and barely had a hit

 

[Plugger35]

Bethell with an interview, he speaks with a combination of a West Indian and English accent, he's like a Lara as well as Gower.

 

[Cleavy]

Renegades may as well open with Sutherland if JFM is not getting any runs

 

[madjoe]

guess the risk of evans being at 5 is you waste the surge of wells and co which on paper is not great (great knock by wells tonight but)

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Bethell with an interview, he speaks with a combination of a West Indian and English accent, he's like a Lara as well as Gower.

Just looked up his wiki page :

Bethell was born in Barbados and moved to Warwickshire, England, when he was 12.

Renegades may as well open with Sutherland if JFM is not getting any runs

Can Wells open and play a role similar to what we saw from Marsh over his last couple of seasons with us?

Bring Evans up to 5 and drop JFM to 6

 

[Plugger35]

DG WGAF rocking the crowd at the G, they are bigger frauds than Stoinis and Maxwell, they just remix/replay other people's hits.

Just open with Seifert
