The good Tom Rogers slaughters the Gades and is robbed of a boundary by Kanes waist high pie

That shouldn't be the case. It's still the same ball.

Is Merlo the leagues first ever no-rounder?

Bit of a silly format when one team has played 7 games and another side has played 4 games.

Round 2 lolz

It shouldn’t, but they’ve only counted the no ball.

The best BBL seasons are the ones where the Stars get their fans' hopes up

After hitting one of those huge sixes off Zampa, Maxwell didn't look at the bowler or even watch the ball land in the stands. He just smashed it and turned around to look somewhere near the stumps.

Such utter disdain for Zampa.

Reminded me of those BAD BOYS type movies where they walk away from the massive explosions in the background without turning around to look...

I don’t know mate something different in the air this year..

 

[troybe]

The best seasons are when the Stars live rent free in everyone’s heads

The final choke is still the biggest laugh

On a serious note Stars have finally worked it out this year it’s not the big name imports that win these tournaments but smart tier B imports.

Apparently it’s to break up Perth’s travel into two blocks, according to Cricinfo.

 

[NYRB]

He could be one of the most unselfish captains in history, bats himself well down the order and then doesn't bowl.

At least he has taken a catch.

Sutherland saying after the game that he thinks they are playing the Strikers in a couple of days, they are actually playing the Hurricanes.

It doesn't say much about the Renegades preparation when their captain doesn't even know what team they are playing next.

Ive come to the conclusion he might not be the brightest spark going around.

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

It’s crazy how shitty this franchise is

 

[NYRB]

Will Sutherland and his dad James, seem like juxtaposition of people.

Is Merlo the leagues first ever no-rounder?

Off the top of my head.... Chris Sabburg, Darren Sammy, Cameron Valente, Clint Hinchliffe, Jason Floros. Sure I'm missing a couple and some of those guys did actually bowl to be fair.

He's honestly not bad. And I understand it for them, with guys like Lawrence, Webster, Maxwell, Stoinis, Wasim and even him and Cartwright to an extent taking up batting positions you can afford to go in with literally two bowlers and have your keeper bat at 9. The only guys who can't bowl are Harper and Rogers.

The Gades may have a couple of import spots now open

Stars only need to win 2 of their last 3 to qualify, with all three in Melbourne too. Decent chance of a home final if they win all three.
