BBL Match 38 Melbourne Renegades v Brisbane Heat 18/1 1630hrs @ Docklands

It's 15 from 20 why do this?

They want run rate

 

[MarcusP2]

Wtf they need a run a ball. Why go for the slog

Because they need NRR to qualify for finals.

 

[ep2018]

Wtf they need a run a ball. Why go for the slog

They need NRR buffer. No point going a run a ball for the win when the winner of Scorchers/Strikers will beat it anyway.

Because they need to win as quick as possible if they are any chance of making finals

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Can they make enough NRR up to win finals if they get it down quicker?

Not sure anymore now that Fraser-McGurk and Sutherland are gone.

Think they would've really wanted the game to be over now.

I could kinda understand if it was Rogers on strike, last ball of the over and Sutherland told him to take a swing at it

But as captain you need to know better - you've just lost the high scorer, be the one to get your team home

I mean I only care because of Strikers

 

[Moonwatcher]

Will the Perth game be delayed?

 

[H00t]

WTF was that Sutherland - take the captaincy off him for that shot

Need less than a run a ball, so WTF you doing

They would in a normal game but they need to win quickly to get their NRR up.

Only just winning is the same as losing

 

[StillAtLarge]

NRR has made the finish here more compelling. Renegades can't slow up

Been great this BBL but had a horror day today

Not sure anymore now that Fraser-McGurk and Sullivan are gone.

Sullivan? I must have missed his innings.

 

[cats_09]

O'Neill didn't like his demotion to drop down the batting order behind Rogers

 

[pacemaker]

 

[Moonwatcher]

2 from 13

 

[Plugger35]

Fergus showing them how to slog a six and he goes again to finish it, the Gades into 4th and the Heat are done.

The Scorchers, Strikers and Stars are still alive.

 

[NSWCROW]

Now ****ing come on Adelaide !!!!

 

[Moonwatcher]

Thank you Renegades

 

[ep2018]

Now ****ing come on Adelaide !!!!

Nah lets not.

Have they done enough if the other match is close?

 

[10Dulkar]

Those T20 coaching gigs look like money for old rope.

Great seeing that Marvel can be a viable cricket venue for a change.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Hobart will tank their final game anyways, it's all academic. But super win that, especially given renegades had two strike bowlers pulled out of the attack

 

[Blackhawk42]

3rd best win in Gades history, behind winning the title and the Perth game this season.

Played against 12.

 

[MarcusP2]

Have they done enough if the other match is close?

If it's 1 ball or a super over (plus some margin) Gades are through.

Yeah but it is the Stars. Hobart could rest their entire 11 and the Stars could still find a way to lose it
