Might as well scratch Lyon from our squad list - wonder if we can sign a replacement player

Thought Hardie might be out injured, so Mitch in for Hardie.

How much would Lyon have pocketed from his deal 2 yrs in for the Renegades?

We've got him for another year - it was 3-yr deal he signed

I'm hoping the deal was for minimum wage with match payments but that's unlikely

odd considering he had a extremely light Test series.. it was a fast bowlers series.

 

[Around the Wicket]

+ or - 10 runs for JFM?

Not sure there are too many spinners around, maybe Ejaaz Alavi? Captain of Fitzroy Doncaster in premier

We've got Harry Dixon in the squad - why not give the youngster a go

Playing for the Gades against Pakistan back in August he scored 13 but more importantly took 2/2

Harry Dixon isn't really a genuine spinner though.

78 overs in the last month. Must be knackered.....

it was a dumb signing in the first place.

Wonder if there was some pressure from CA for the test players to be signed to different Big Bash teams?

I think most, if not all have got a BBL team they're aligned to, but unless you're a batsmen you rarely get to play

probably. it's just a marketing ploy.

 

[Around the Wicket]

This pitch looks flat, hopefully Renegades bat first and the two park cricketers go bang.

The fair, common sense thing to do would be to let you sign a replacement. I'm not sure about the playing conditions say mind you

 

[Cleavy]

fair/common sense and CA don't usually go together

 

[Cleavy]

d'oh

Bring Fawad Ahmed out of retirement!

Renegades won the flip and have elected to win the game.

Hold that thought with the blokes in red

How does JFM keep opening for

How does JFM keep opening for

Brown is out - so Harris will be replacing him at the top, and guessing they didn't want to make a double change

If Brown was available i would have dropped JFM down the order, or just dropped him

Will be interesting to see what happens next match
