Sack the coach.

 

[NYRB]

Looking like Stars v Hobart in the last round could be the decide on who makes the Finals.

 

[NYRB]

Hobart has a reasonable run home: Brisbane (GABBA), Adelaide , Adelaide (Adelaide Oval), Stars (MCG)


Probably need to win at least 3 of those to make the Finals for Hobart.

No clue why Sutherland is bowling this over.

 

[NYRB]

Looking at the Hobart schedule, if it somehow was an abandoned match up in Brisbane, that wouldnt be too bad a point to take away given their remaining 3 fixtures.

David can still lose this on form

Be lucky to win more than 2. They ain’t beating the Heat, doubtful beating Stars. Are they winning both against Adelaide?

 

[NYRB]

And its official: Melbourne Renegades are officially the first team that cant win BBL13.

On form you would say yes. Heat are favourites sure. Melbourne Stars at the MCG to make the finals with all stakes to play for, we know how Stars have performed in the past when pressure has got to them.

Nicholson saying this is the last game for Quinton De Kock too.

 

[NYRB]

Looking at the Ladder after Game 26:



If Adelaide lose tomorrow, they officially cant finish in the Top 2. They also cant finish in the Top 3 if there is a result on Saturday between Sixers and Stars.

 

[NYRB]

Stars v Sixers at the G on Saturday probably the game that will determine who makes the Finals. (or have 1 foot in the finals)

I haven’t been listening to commentary tonight, I’ve got the wrestling on.

Have they mentioned the conditions at all? I considered going tonight but feared this would be one of disgustingly humid nights under the roof.

It was warm, and could feel the humidity at times, but I think it was worse for the players in the middle than those of us in the crowd

It also seemed to cool down during the second innings

Good

Can we play some youngsters in our remaining matches - we saw how O'Neill went on debut tonight, so why not back them in, especially with our season over

Did not really impose as much as the Gades would have liked.

Renegades had the best looking side on paper, yet they have 6 losses to their name.

 

[GoldenMagpie16]

I'm happy to see the Hurricanes Internationals getting some runs for once.

 

[NYRB]

Did not really impose as much as the Gades would have liked.

For a player of his price tag, his body language, whenever he spoke on the mic, his commitment to the team was poor. Im struggling to think how you can justify his price tag hearing a figure of $500k for him for this season alone which is a joke.

A 45 year old Chris Gayle would have shown more commitment and better attitude than him.

McKenzie Harvey

 

[Snarls Barkley]

who's left to pick? only dixon left to play

He is probably unavailable now too with the U19 World Cup coming up. Not sure when they fly off

 

[NYRB]

The reality is there are too many oldies in that Gades lineup: Finch, Maddinson (out of form), Shaun Marsh, Peter Siddle, Jono Wells. I reckon the Gades need to bite the bullet and get rid of all of them to do better next season. The fact that they get a choice to retire , says a bit all about their culture.

If your going to blood youngsters, now is the time with the season over. At least try something for next season.

And David Saker right up there with Dizzy Gillespie with coaches in the firing line. I generally dont think he had great tactical awareness, did Saker.

Jono Wells aren't losing his spot. Been possibly their best batsman other than JFM

 

[NYRB]

And the fact that the Gades try to market Nathan Lyon as part of their squad (another oldie) but never got to play a game when it mattered was a bit cringey. Think if they really were going to get that marketing going, he should have played in the first game when Steve Smith played.

In reality, none of the test players were ever going to change the fortunes of the team.
