It’s interesting, because I’m pretty sure the conventional wisdom early on in 20/20 was to chase. But it does look like at least in Australia that batting first is a viable decision. I still feel like batting second is better and that teams just don’t know how to chase effectively - way too...

Don’t know why anyone is talking about cramps. He pulled up on a run like he did his hammy. Looked obvious to me.

What a disappointment. Sixers have been pathetic, but Brisbane have been the best team all year so happy they take it home.

Run rate was still around 9.5-10 an over, which with the power play to come is achievable. But Philippe just gives the game away. That’s ****ing pathetic. Well done to the Heat though, they deserve this. But that’s brutally bad from the Sixers, they’ve been let down by Philippe and their...

That is an atrocious shot from Philippe. Absolutely no need for it at that stage.

Why is Joel Davies playing if you’re not going to bowl him? I would have thought you play the extra batter in Patterson.

Poor shot from Hughes. He’s been good in the past couple of games but that’s a howler.

Good finish from Renshaw. I’d say that’s a decent target, Brisbane marginal favourites. Sixers pace bowlers will be nervous, they bowled some poor balls across that innings.

Sixers pace bowlers have been poor imo. Probably cost them the game if this ends up around 170-180.

Is SOK retiring because he wants to, or no other team is giving him a contract? Because if teams like my Renegades or the Thunder think they’ve got four better bowlers than him they’re sorely mistaken.

Has Murphy been picked just to bowl to Renshaw? That’ll look stupid if you’re a batter short and Brisbane are 150/1 before Renshaw even gets there.

Why is Kerr being bowled? And if he is, why is he bowling there to Brown? Stupid captaincy, and even worse bowling. Horrific.

I didn’t think I’d be up for Nielsen batting like he’s protecting run rate when his team needs three runs a ball but it’s somehow compelling.

There’s a reason why he doesn’t play every game. He’s a flaky batter and fielder. No fact checking required, thanks though. 👍

My son just said “hey, Kelly just hit a 4 and a 6 maybe they can do it!” Tv graphic shows next three batsmen are Bazley, Neilson and Manenti. Yeah nah. That’s without having to rely on Weatherald to bat for a while in a pressure situation. Which he can’t do - as he’s just proved.

Abbott better bowl well, because that was ****ing atrocious.

As a renegades follower I didn’t think there would be a team as poorly coached, and with no real pride in their performance, that would keep us from the bottom spot. But fair play to the Thunder. They are ****ing pathetic.

This is embarrassing. Have some professional pride ffs. Going through the motions, the whole team except maybe Green and Sangha. Sams is meant to be a decent 20/20 player but he’s looked hopeless all year.

Agree on all points. Ponting does call things out occasionally, but can pull his punches a little (maybe a bit more when it’s Hobart as well). The problem for me is that as soon as things don’t go to plan in a chase there is rarely any clear thinking by coaches, captains and batsmen (outside...

It’s so frustrating watching terrible decisions from supposedly senior players. This comp is barely a contest outside of three teams, and even then I think Brisbane have been pretty fortunate on a few occasions this year. Scorchers or Sixers will win it, as usual - Heat a possibility. But...

Absolutely atrocious chase. Only a rookie stopped it from being an utter embarrassment. McDermott and David in particular should be embarrassed from how they got out. And wtf was Ellis thinking? Nudging the ball around when you need a boundary?!

Shithouse from David.

Jfc. That is a nonsensical shot from McDermott. No need to start swinging, run rate isn’t that bad and there’s a power surge over to come. Pathetic.

That was brainless from Anderson. I understand this is incredibly difficult bowling to face, but just swiping at that is pathetic when your team needs you to stay in.

They played the Strikers in their last game before this. It was about four days ago and is their only ****ing win, you’d have thought he’d remember it. It’s crazy how shitty this franchise is 😂

Because the Renegades. Not having Zampa bowl the three overs early, and Sutherland not bowling, would be baffling if it wasn’t so in line with the nonsense decisions this team makes all the time.

Need a boundary from the last ball to get to the ton…..miss and a single. 97? Pathetic. Stars will chase this in ten overs max.

Have the Gades run any twos tonight? You’d have to think that was how to get the innings ticking along once the spinners proved hard to hit to the fence.

Renegades are the worst-coached and captained team in the comp, and have been for a number of years. If there’s a way to make it harder for the players to win they’ll jump at it.

Game is already done. Pathetic batting from the Gades.
