Stars still got an international slot left?

Stars still got an international slot left?

Yep

 

[hutchy31]

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.

 

[Some Idiot]

Stars might chase this in half the overs

 

[candyapple]

Every team should be mandated to have a Tom Rogers on it

 

[tigs2010]

Yep

Need a fast bowler. Paris and Steketee

 

[eddiesmith]

Maxy wants some runs in game 100 so gifting the Gades a few cheap runs so he has something to chase.

Thought they might get back the Pom who only played 1 game!

 

[danstar]

Paris is just absolute filth, no wonder scorchers were so happy to see him leave

 

[Some Idiot]

The Renegades cant pick Dan Lawrence. Lawrence is having his Paddy Dooley moment here. I sense other teams in the BBL might struggle to pick him.

He's bowled plenty in England, more than enough footage to pick apart

 

[troybe]

Never going to drop that

 

[eddiesmith]

If the Stars win anymore games then Maxwell will find himself running the drinks against the Windies.

 

[hutchy31]

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.

If the Stars find a way to lose this match, I'll go back to calling them Spuds. Stoinis and Maxwell should open as the Stars need a NRR boost.

 

[Some Idiot]

Zampa will need to bowl out of his mind to give the Renegades a chance based on what we've seen.

Not playing the Strikers, Stoinis should be back to no11.

 

[Voice of the G]

If the Stars win anymore games then Maxwell will find himself running the drinks against the Windies.

Sadly will never happen,to important for the white ball game according to the ACB.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

The Stars really aren't that bad. Pretty strong batting line-up and not the worst bowling attack getting around (still not great, but serviceable enough). This could very well be the season they finally win a title if they catch the Scorchers or Heat on an off night.

 

[troybe]

Is arsenry a real word Richo

 

[NYRB]

Jason Richardson or one of the Comms on Channel 7 talk about the Melbourne Stars chasing this to improve net run rate.

But even if they Stars chase this target in 1 over, their Net Run rate will be -0.328. It would still be below Hobarts Net Run rate of -0.235. The Sixers Net run rate is +0.167.

They still need to improve it.

 

[NYRB]

I dont see the need for the Stars to go hung ho and chase this inside 5 overs or whatever. They are already way down on NRR. In a shortened season it will be hard to make back that NRR too.

Just need to concentrate on the W tonight. It could mean it might be a bit of an ugly Stars chase.

[The Sultan]

The Gades couldn't even make it to 100, that run chase should be a walk in the park for the Stars.

It’s the stars good chance they lose by 50 runs
