good luck

Would be a fitting end to both their seasons

Last game of the season and we won't even get a game....

At least finals coming up. Fingers crossed none of them are rain affected.

 

[largebus]

Would've liked to have seen Marsh bat one last time. POTM in your last actual game isn't a bad way to go out.

The Sydney weather ruining another game of cricket.

Thankfully this game doesn't mean anything for either team other than deciding which one of them gets the wooden spoon.

Same old Sydney, always raining.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Never even considered a washout.

What an absolute joke of a season for the Renegades.

2 wins
6 losses
2 no results.

I genuinely preferred the 14 game model.

Even the new jersey signs turned me off this year. Please bring back the block colours for every team.

 

[Plugger35]

A 10 game season is all well and good but there have been a total of 8 games that have been no results due to bad weather and a bad pitch.

This looks like it will be a 9th game that will be a no result without a ball bowled, I wouldn't be too happy if I was Ch7 or Fox with that return

It's been very unlucky in that sense.
Not great for the fans either.

Would be interesting to see an analysis of if it has effected finals, have some teams benefited more or less than others from the no results?

7 have gone to normal programming which is ominous in its own right. Off to Fox to listen to the fluffer, Vanilla and Huss.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

If it rains we don’t lose

That’s winning

 

[eddiesmith]

Typical, turn on 7mate and they’ve got some American crap on, bloody Sydney!!!

Ch7 knew there wouldn't be any play tonight but they still had to do their half hour intro saying they were still hopeful there would be play.

They did the usual interviews with the players and the umpires carrying umbrellas still pretending they might still get a game on tonight.

Once they go to their normal programming you know there won't be any play tonight, they aren't coming back from normal programming.

 

[Cleavy]

abandoned. Thunder can enjoy their wooden spoon.

 

[NYRB]

And its officially game called off .

We didn’t lose though that’s a positive

Wish it rained every game would have been a chance

Would have missed finals by a point

Not sure where you're pulling an extra 4 NRs from.

There were 2 in Sydney, 1 in Adelaide, 1 in Brisbane, and 1 in Geelong.

Renegades v Scorchers in Geelong was called off due to bad pitch
Adelaide v Brisbane rained off
Stars v Thunder - DLS reduced game
Hobart v Stars- DLS reduced game
Thunder v Sixers at Showgrounds - No result
Brisbane v Sixers- no result
Stars v Renegades- rain reduced game
Sixers v Heat in Coffs Harbour rain reduced game
Brisbane v Hobart- rain reduced game
Thunder v Renegades- Abandoned game


9 games in a 40 game season where weather/external factors influenced the game with 8 of those in the states and territories of : ACT/NSW/QLD and VIC.


Compare that to the Scorchers last 35 games at the Perth Stadium- where rain has never affected a game.

People around Australia underestimate the weather in Perth in summers . It never or barely ever rains there.

Yeah so five NRs, like I said.

Would be a fitting end to both their seasons

Both where so determined, neither lost their last game.
