Labuschagne blocking , Steve Smith 50 off 150 odd is more of a snore fest.

Each to their own but games like tonight there is nothing interesting in the bowling, just cannon fodder.

Like both forms of cricket but you will struggle to attract neutrals in 2023-2024 to test cricket if they are leaving balls alone. And people would have scoffed at the suggestion 15 years ago that Twenty20 cricket would be on par with Test cricket for entertainment.
The big hits, the razamatazz, the lights, the fielding aspect and generally having to be switched on in every ball as it has added weight means alot. T20 cricket isnt all about slogging - there is real cricket skills involved as well as tactical nous. In test cricket, you can drift along, which can test the patience of your neutrals. I can understand why it doesnt appeal to some as we live in 'instant satisfaction' age where we want pleasure in a shorter time space.

Isn’t past your bedtime?
It feels like there are only 3 good sides so they're the best of the rest at the moment.

It seems like we could just finish the season and go back to Perth vs 6ers, and we'd be no worse off.
We're playing for the next 3 weeks to decide who hosts the final between the 2.

Adelaide have got Perth in their next 2 games.
Perths strength is their bowling over batting.
Adelaide strength is their batting over their bowling.
Adelaides batting v Perth bowling will be where the game is won.
Do feel guys like: Crawley, Hardie, Inglis and Evans might have a day out against them. Im not too confident will want to rely on 7 onwards to score runs, as their middle to lower order hasnt fired in this tournament so far.

For whatever it's worth, I suspect they might lose Renshaw for the West Indies series too.

I reckon Bancroft is ahead of Renshaw, it would hurt the Thunder losing Bancroft more than Renshaw being lost to the Heat though.

McDonald said today it was between Green, Harris and Renshaw.
Even with him, only rain is keeping the Chunder from their rightful place at the bottom.
They’ve played the Thunder twice, the Renegades and beat the Stars in their only game with their full side.
Reckon they’ll come crashing back to earth pretty quickly in the new year.

Should be Green. Would be happy with Renshaw for the love of goodness sakes not Harris
Pretty sure they lose Munro as well.
I'd be stunned if he actually said that and didn't mention Bancroft.
