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

Ellis a chance for MOTM in a losing cause?

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

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.

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

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

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.

 

[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.

So making a living slogging for franchises. I’d take it.

Sarah Jones looking fine tonight but she's definitely far more at ease presenting football.

Can someone tell me what these BBL players are on $$. Roughly?

What ever happened to Tom Rogers' first class career? He was pretty handy and just looks more of a red ball bowler than white ball to me. Could also bat a little bit.

There's bronze, silver, gold and platinum tiers, platinums earn max $420k if they're available for all games.
Most others in the 100-200 k range, salary cap is just over $3 million.

Appreciate that bus. Ticket sales are modest so is it all $$ generated by tv ad gambling rev. ?

Just like the AFL and NRL.

Unlike those though the BBL gets decent viewership in South Asia, so even if it's a fraction of the IPL it's still probably more than Australia's population. Youtube highlights vids get way more views than any of the footy codes and the comments are 90% Indians.
