BBL Match 27: Sydney Thunder v Melbourne Renegades

[LukeParkerno1]

The one positive is I always back White for most runs lol

No I called it before the game. Sandhu is shocking. Green should have played. We have Watson, Kallis, Russell and McKay as seamers that's enough

Kallis does a hammy every 2 seconds doe

 

[Cudi]

Has Hussey just retired???

Last home game for the Blunder.

 

[CD__]

Renegades have to beat Strikers in the last round for that to happen, which opens the door for the Stars to finish on top.

And the Stars would have to beat the Scorchers in Perth which is no easy task!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Kallis does a hammy every 2 seconds doe

Even so, without him that's enough seamers

 

[Sydney Bloods]

That's just marketing hype. I've never seen a paint colour chart in Bunnings with 'awful green' listed as an option.

you know studies have shown people who only have a few words for colours can't distinguish between them.
there's an africa tribe that deadset can't see the difference between blue and green for example.

I thought their only hope was Gayle making a big score, but then the Thunder made about 30 below par which really brings White into the equation

Last home game for the Blunder.

Cheers, I just looked up and saw the guard of honour so wasn't sure what had happened

Hey we get a better captain next year! About time!

 

[2006_Eagles]

Hey we get a better captain next year! About time!

So much disrespect for the great man

 

[Kram]

Hussey's overall captaincy record must be pretty ordinary.

 

[Hinkstuff]

Renegades still haven't won at home this season

Sixers was a bad loss but otherwise you got the top sides at home and the bottom sides away

 

[Big Bryza]

White was plumb tonight but good on him for standing up in the tournament. Back to his best which is great to see.

 

[Sydney Bloods]

Hey we get a better captain next year! About time!

still stuck with Sir LBW.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Great player dreadful captain. Rather Kallis or Watson captain

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Better than Hussey captaining. Rohrer might captain though

I must admit I didn't know that.

It will probably be Watson, is much of an improvement on Hussey as captain? Wouldn't have thought so.

Although Huss did elect to bat first tonight for some odd reason.

I assumed he was thinking, opposition have s**t bowlers, very flat pitch, they had a strong batting lineup, lets get some runs on the board and make a big total of 190-200 and it was on track until the last 5 overs

Watson or Rohrer would be 10 times better than Hussey and his love affair of Sandhu! We better let Sandhu go after this season, he is an absolute pie thrower.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Would happily take Sandhu if the Thunder were foolish enough to cut him after one poor season.

McKay is the prime example.

 

[Mr Commissioner]

He can not select him...

Come off it Green was good last game ffs

You're emotional and reactive - Hussey has been excellent for the Thunder.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

You're emotional and reactive - Hussey has been excellent for the Thunder.

As a batsman yes, as a captain he has been dreadful. That is 3 games he has lost through poor captaincy.

 

[Mr Commissioner]

Just quietly - you are aware that Sandhu was dropped and prior to this BBL was considered a short form specialist - so much so that he was awarded a CA marketing contract to help in the promotion of the BBL and upcoming one day series.

I'd suggest Sandhu's elevation was a encouraged by higher powers hoping to get him back in with a shot of Australian representation.

That window closed tonight.

Hussey is not responsible for releasing the ball from Sandhu's hand - the wicket was slow.

Bashing back of a length should have worked but Sandhu couldn't execute his changes of pace, so much width too often.

You're also creating a narrative that Hussey picks the team himself.

It's a little cringeworthy to be honest.

 

[Mr Commissioner]

Sorry, but that's absolute rubbish - not continuing this with you.

Keep the pitchfork sharp!
