love to see o'neill in the one day team asap

 

[sherb]

bit sad wells never made it.i feel like he had the skill to make it at the top level or close too

He was given plenty of chances but simply wasn't good enough at first-class level.

He's certainly found his niche in the 20/20 format however.

McDermott has good memories of the Docklands, his ton here a few seasons back was a top knock.

 

[NYRB]

New balls please.........

McDermotts 6 stuck on the roof.

naa fully agree mate he was given plenty of chances and batted in different spots to. just feel like his game was good enough was more mental imo watching him play in the 20/20

Farcical

The ball stuck in the roof, that's a new one,

Wonder who's working tomorrow, and gets to wait for it to drop when they open the roof

 

[Barrybran]

Probably the first time in history a ball has been lost under the stands and in the roof in the same game

I thought hitting the roof was back to being a dead ball?

 

[cats_09]

What are we trying to bowl at the moment?

Pitch it up and at the stumps - don't give them room to get underneath the ball

Did we learn nothing from the Hurricanes bowling in thy first 10 overs

If the umpire deems it looks like its going for a six, they shall call it a Six.

 

[cats_09]

Umpires call

If they believe it was going for 6 without hitting the roof they're meant to call a 6

If it goes straight up, then it's a dead ball

 

[NYRB]

Unpopular opinion, if its not raining in Melbourne for games at the Docklands, they should leave the roof open. Unlike AFL, sunlight shouldnt be too much a problem for a night games. Who is with me on this one?

 

[NYRB]

Thats a ripper from O'Neill! and he gets his first ever BBL wicket.

 

[madjoe]

tell you now get on the ferg train kids got it.

No way hurricanes lose from here. It’s like Renegades are bowling on a completely different pitch. Hurricanes had it hooping and Renegades are barely getting it to move.

Great toss to win it seems. Once the swing goes it looks like a 180+ pitch.

Night yes, open the roof

But if we have any day games (not sure we do this season), then close the roof - we had one day game last season and they kept the roof open. It was so hot sitting the stands & worse out in the middle as seen when Handsome had to be subbed out of the match when struggling with the conditions

There's so many tall buildings around Marvel stadium that when the roofs open during the day, not only are you dealing with direct sun, but also the reflection off all the glass windows

Elmo music and Renegades games is there anything more iconic?

Gades made it look a lot worse, should not have been blocking out the powerplays

 

[LukeParkerno1]

If he hasn’t hit this..

Sutherland coming in about 5 overs too late

 

[CakeEater]

If he hasn’t hit this..

Then Oxenford hasnt made the Wright decision?

 

[smasha]

[Aussie_boy]
