Flem's pre game chat put Cam White in an avenue of apprehension.
Fmd Webster, end this.

Umpire is more worried about the bail then he was about calling a waist high no-ball when Maxy was batting.
Went to the game tonight.
Renegades proved they are the world champions of dumb cricket. Congratulations
To allow Maxwell to milk the strike with singles at the end of the over (pretty much most overs) with zero pressure is laughable. Is this team actually serious?
I thought some of the field placings were not great.
Then with the bat - surely the job of Harris was just to rotate the strike and keep things ticking over. As opposed to trying to play the hero shot.
Our first 4 overs with the bat of most matches is pathetic. Can't even go at a run a ball with 2 fielders out. heck the Stars face us half the early runs through extras. In four overs there was barely 1 good cricket shot.
And another horrible power surge with the ball and bat. Took it maybe an over too late today but the real problem was the execution - horrific .

Renegades are bottom of the ladder, who would've thought?
Strikers would be 3rd without that Pope over to the Thunder.

It was stupid by Harris, but I think in part that shot of his came from Brown looking lost & not being able to time the ball
Probably felt a bit of pressure to try and get the scoring going with his teammate struggling - right idea but not smartly played
And as for Maxwell - it become clear pretty quickly he was going to farm the strike for the first 4/5 balls each over. Would have loved to see Sutherland bring the field in come that stage, even for an over or two, just to see if Maxwell would try for a big shot or hit a gap for a single
I think there's some things Sutherland has done well as captain, but also feel like he's been found out a few times this season, and I mentioned it during the game but not sure which teammate he can turn to during the innings to run things past. I know he talks to Richardson a bit, but not sure if that's more bowling based rather than general tactics/ideas
Could be good to look to bring/trade in an experienced player this coming off-season to fill what is now an obvious gap following last seasons retirements of Finch & Marsh - it wouldn't be about taking the captaincy off Sutherland, but someone he can lean on at times during the innings, especially when fielding

Renegades were terrible tonight. Best thing they did was get 4 byes off a bowled free hit lol.

At the 10 over break they would have discussed tactics.
Surely you learn brining the field up at some point in your cricket journey.
But I do agree they need a veteran presence.
They also need a stronger batting line up. Siefert is the only genuine class batsman. He is coming in to late. It's a bit of a shit show at the moment.
Even more reason to get him off strike.

Maxwell said he didn't want to risk 2s on the slow outfield didn't want to risk exposing Osama for 4 balls an over (don't blame him).

I don't get why we played with the batting line up as much as we did tonight
I understand against Perth why we made slight changes - Harris was clearly in to open, JFM needed to drop down the order and with Brown out it made sense to bring Seifert up to open
What I would have liked to do tonight was Brown return to open, Seifert back to 3, Bethell stays at 4 with Sutherland moving up to 5 and JFM down the order
Not sure why Seifert has gone from batting at 3, to opener to 5 tonight - he's looked solid when coming in to the order, so which we stuck with that
