BBL Match 32 Melbourne Renegades v Melbourne Stars 12/1 1845hrs @ Docklands Stadium

[tigs2010]

Usama having game of his life. 80 run partnership and ripper catch.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Fitting end to a 10 ball over.

Shit gets wickets.

 

[Plugger35]

That was an awful innings from Brown too.

 

[Around the Wicket]

That is the worst 2 wicket over you will ever see, 2 dud balls for wickets and 4 wides.

 

[cats_09]

Looks like Seifert has taken over the Evans down the order hitting role

 

[Aussie_boy]

The worst 2/6 over ever?

And brilliant catch, but that doesn't make up for him costing Maxy a ton!

 

[010203]

2 wickets, 2 singles and 4 wides. One eventful over.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Losing your wicket to this pie chucker should see you sacked.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Lol bowls rubbish wides. Gets Harris off what have been a wide. Then gets brown off a full toss that should have gone into the stands. Maybe the stars are a chance after all.

[Blightys Barrel]

Love the Stars slips cordon of Harper & Webster - wonder if there's a team with a bigger height differential in that area

Height and ability to play cricket as well the way Harper is going atm

 

[Pure_Ownage]

JFM looks out if touch here.

 

[cats_09]

That was an awful innings from Brown too.

And while it was only the second over, felt like there was a bit of pressure on Harris to try something as Brown just didn't look like scoring

He didn't have a great match against the Stars last week, then missed the clash against Perth due to injury/soreness - wonder if he was maybe not quite right, but having lost Evans & Wells they decided to risk him hoping it would work

 

[Around the Wicket]

JFM needs to relax, get your eye in and catch up later

 

[ptrg]

It's actually swinging a fair bit.
The second wicket and that ball both tailed late

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Fraser-McGurk is awful.

 

[010203]

Usama having game of his life. 80 run partnership and ripper catch.

It was somewhat reminiscent of Ben Stokes and Jack Leach at Headingley in 2019. Difference being Leach scored a run and ended not out, Mir didn't.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Siddle looks like a old man now

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Time for the extremely overrated Fraser-McGurk to actually do something for all the hype

 

[ptrg]

Siddle looks like a old man now

With his 20yo hair transplanted on.

Don't think I've ever seen a bloke retain the same hair style as regimentedly as Big Sids has over a career

 

[nobbyiscool]

I reckon it's fair enough, when a batsman tries this on.

I never quite understood it.

You're not trying to cheat anyone, it's not like you think you're getting away with anything, especially in the 3rd umpire era.

So what's the penalty for? How's it different to getting halfway down the pitch for a run, changing your mind, and going back? Is it tip 'n run now, where we're telling the batter in that situation that he has to take a run, rather than take 0 and get back on strike?

I'm glad that it's a weird one we don't see often, cos it's very strange.

 

[ptrg]

Imagine if they called that beamer.
Maxwell would have rioted

 

[Around the Wicket]

Fraser-McGurk is awful.

Renegades have 3 young players Brown, Bethell and JFM who are all hit or miss and there all missing at the moment.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Wow that took off! Harper can't even do his primary job lol

 

[010203]

A jaffer goes for 4 byes. Unlucky Siddle.
