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

[Cataholic]

Maybe the pitch isn't that bad to bat on after all

The Gades are making this pitch look like.....well, like a road.

Jeez I cannot get used to Theo Drop getting a national tv gig.

Has been popping up everywhere on Seven in Melbourne, especially on the news.

This combined X1 Vaughan came up with is getting way more mileage than it deserves.

Glad I ended up watching this one from the sofa.

Well don’t should leaving Head out is farcical to say the least and we won’t talk about him leaving CareY out

Prior to this series Head was in as bad a form as the rest of them

Poor shot

They've shown in this pitch that you don't need to slog to score runs - as soon as players have gone that option they've generally got themselves out

Sure but you surely just pick both him and Brook

 

[10Dulkar]

All the hype around Bethell and then that...

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Finch talking about the dud international players that they Hurricanes players have signed.

He forgot about Sangakkara, even a great player like him turned into a dud player for them.

There’s been worse than him as few bowlers have been bad

Not sure we've been much better at times - the Gades themselves have turned star signings into duds

And leave out the no1 batsman in the world?

And leave out the no1 batsman in the world?

The bloke at 6 can easily be left out easily

 

[10Dulkar]

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

 

[cats_09]

David paying no attention to his teammates - Meredith trying to call him to get inside the circle, instead he's got his head down ignoring him

There was a noise. Had to be bat on ball.

 

[Coasters7]

All the hype around Bethell and then that...

Can’t wait for Bethell, Brook and Duckett on Aussie pitches next summer

 

[LukeParkerno1]

This umpire is a shocker

 

[cats_09]

Don't think the Canes even thought that was out - they were all back in position waiting for the not out signal

 

[MadMundy]

Nothing to lose there, paid off for them.

Was very audible live on tv.

Granted, stump mic.

 

[Cleavy]

Ellis a chance for MOTM in a losing cause?

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.

 

[cats_09]

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

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.
