BBL Match 5 Melbourne Renegades v Hobart Hurricanes 19/12 1845hrs @ Kardinia Park

[Cleavy]

Ellis a chance for MOTM in a losing cause?

 

[Around the Wicket]

The bloke at 6 can easily be left out easily

I think the rules of the selection was position v position.

So Joe Root v Steve Smith for 4. Travis Head v Harry Brook for 5 etc.

If you’re doing a combined XI, both sides play all rounders, it’d be like the AA team and filling the forward line with midfielders.

Nothing to lose there, paid off for them.

That's what their body language suggested - a couple of interested players, but after calling for the review they all went back to their fielding/bowling positions in prep for the next ball

They seemed as surprised as anyone that it was out

 

[MJG14]

Not Hobart but that Whiteley fella (not Richard) was one of the worst overseas I've seen.

I was thinking about him the other day! Ross Whiteley was his name and I genuinely thought he was a bog average Brisbane grade cricketer at first.

Ellis a chance for MOTM in a losing cause?

I’d have the Kiwi atm, runs and a pretty good stint behind the stumps.

He has arguably been the best player tonight, top scorer with the bat for the Hurricanes and he has been their best bowler too.

Just a pity he has been playing with 10 other purple potatoes.

Thunder have had the worst though!

We've all given the Spuds some stick but across the entire history of the BBL, the Hurricanes have been shithouse too.

There had a gun side a few times but just never performed

Has to be a bowler didn’t see much of the bowling till 8 down but who bowled the best out of the ones that got 3. 3 wickets is nearly worth 80+ normally

We didn't quite know how the pitch would play and what demons the Gades may have, it was then Seifert's hitting in the second over from Stanlake which put the match firmly in the Gades grasp

 

[Around the Wicket]

Duckett
Khawaja
Smith
Root
Head
Brook

Would be my combined Top 6, Stokes could easily miss out, been crap for 18 months now.

O'Neill looked harder to get away than Rogers

 

[10Dulkar]

What's the go with this Waqar fella? Apparently spins it off a long run up?

There we go him then

I think he's a specially fielder based on how he was used tonight

 

[norway blue]

I know he’s a slogger but I hoped JFM played I little more conservative to shore up his career.

Waqar walking off with Stanlake reminds me of Bavuma batting with Jansen.

 

[juss]

That game was weird as ****.

And crap viewing too.

TBH I think his already shored up in T20, already has a 1.6 million IPL contract, he only needs to fluke an innings here and there.

 

[Plugger35]

Rogers getting the MOTM, Ellis and Seifert stiff to miss out, Rogers took early wickets when the pitch was helpful for bowlers.

 

[cats_09]

Should be a good little NRR boost at least

Rogers MOTM

Had to be a bowler was just which one

 

[largebus]

Not that most convincing chase apart from the one Stanlake over with 3 single figure scores. I guess it's a good thing in a way that they won without JFM or Brown going big but we need to see them chase a real total.
