BBL Match 10 Melbourne Renegades v Perth Scorchers 23/12 1845hrs @ Docklands

[eddiesmith]

Would be surprised if many chasing teams lose at Marvel this season. Seems like the place where you want to know what you need

Only 1 win from the last 12 for teams batting first. Then again, that was also Perths record v the Renegades before tonight!!!

When the toss decides the result we may as well pack it up

It didn’t. Poor cricket shots did. Why were half your batsmen play across the line slogs. Connolly showed your side how to bat and ended with a solid contribution. Toss made very little difference

Zach Merrett looks like a handy spinner.

Whole comp is fast turning into a coin toss for the win. I think we’re at 1 team defending a total so far this tournament. Teams just know what they need to get a chase done and are getting better at it.

That’s how a coin toss decides it though? Especially in games like this.

Batting team doesn’t know how hard to go to set a total and it becomes easier to assess that as the innings progresses.

The total was fine. You just want to be the chasing team so you can pace yourself better

Ie. they know it was under par otherwise they wouldn’t have said anything trying to defend it

He played in a number of rep teams as a batter and medium-fast bowler. Before he made the switch to focus on footy.

I would have never guessed that. Im gathering he was one of these multi-sports talented kids growing up eg Luke Hodge, Heeneys

Hope you're enjoying your travels. Sticking around for Boxing Day?

They need to do some work on these pitches, massive advantage batting 2nd at the moment.. what’s that 10-1?

Dad was a handy sportsman - cost me a one day catching me at slip in the 90’s. Uncle was a dead set gun and if TAC Cup was in play back in the day would have played AFL.

The BBL is NOT a good competition while the playing surface of Marvel Stadium is not up to standard. This game was laughable, we can't get our top players playing and one of our main stadiums can't make up its mind if it's a sporting venue or an entertainment venue? They need to move all remaining games from Marvel to another venue now!!

Or and here’s an idea don’t recruit brainless sloggers who have you 2 for nothing. The toss doesn’t make you make 11 runs in the first 4, nor does it make Turner play across the line and he should know better.

Perth have to be angry with Finn Allen don't they., 3 hits and has lasted 10 balls if that?

7 balls. 2, 2 & 3.

Reading the you tube comments of this game are refreshing.
People lauding the BBL from India as the best comp in the World and enjoying the game.
Marvel hopefully will get better as time moves on.
Both teams scored 140 plus so it can't be that bad.
I thought it was a terrific pitch and both bowler and batsman could get something from it if they dug their heels in.
The slow outfield gave us a 4 all run.
Do we always have to have a lightning fast outfield and batsman favoured pitches?
Nowhere near as bad as suggested the conditions.

Pitch was very difficult to bat on early and in T20 it’s simply too much of an advantage to the team that one the toss

the ball was seaming sideways early doors..keep trying to convince yourself the toss wasn't a massive factor

 

[JackFlash]

These BBL pitches are rubbish...

Nup just left Melb this morning. Heading to see some more BBL around the country.

Sydney on Boxing Day then possibly Manuka on Saturday.

It was made to look worse by players not playing smart. Hit it on the ground get your singles, Connolly showed how to bat

The bloke at 3 is just as bad. To think they let Ho of Evans for these two

Too many complain when T20s not a slog-athon from ball 1

Nothing wrong when there's bit of an early contest between bat & ball, where the batsmen who put in the work early get the rewards later in their innings

connolly played down the line to one 2nd ball he faced..He missed it by half a meter

and its xactly what the renegades didnt have to early on batting..try and work it out if it was an advantage

lol
