Peter Siddle must be 44 and still going but he still does ok

So no Finch, Marsh, Maddison

Verse no Carey and Head

 

[DEVO]

No Sydney team, so the standard should be poor, but it may be close.

But then it is Renegades (who are going for a three-peat as well this season) so we may see a more lopsided result than game one.

 

[NYRB]

The thing with this Sydney Sixers side, they have the balance of players who are unlikely to leave for national duty, and they are probably the next tier in line if chosen for national selection.


I hate to say it but after 2 games, the Stars and Brisbane teams look likely for the bottom 2. Stars with a bit more upside now with Haris Rauf likely to play this season.

I think these two teams tonight are lucky they are playing each other. I'd back the Stars and Brisbane to finish ahead of both tbh.

 

[NYRB]

Renegades won toss and elect to bat 1st

 

[NYRB]

Melbourne Renegades (Playing XI): Sam Harper(w), Mackenzie Harvey, Jake Fraser, James Seymour, Jonathan Merlo, Mohammad Nabi, Will Sutherland, James Pattinson, Kane Richardson(c), Reece Topley, Zahir Khan

 

[NYRB]

no Prestwidge which is a bit of a surprise.

Is it just me or the batting depth of alot of teams this season a lot thinner than usual?

Harper, McKenzie, Fraser-McGurk is handy, Nabi is an all rounder - they are all OK with the bat.

But i don't rate that batting line up of the Renegades

 

[NYRB]

On paper, Adelaide batting look a bit stronger than the Renegades.

Adelaide Strikers (Playing XI): Jake Weatherald, Matthew Short, Harry Nielsen(w), Jonathan Wells, Ryan Gibson, Daniel Drew, George Garton, Rashid Khan, Daniel Worrall, Wes Agar, Peter Siddle(c)

 

[Stig O'Hara]

No Fahwad Ahmed, injured??

 

[LukeParkerno1]

That looks a putrid strikers side lol

 

[NYRB]

No Fahwad Ahmed, injured??

im guessing he plays for the Renegades this season? Ex-Scorcher reject.

 

[NYRB]

That Renegades line up looks not that decent either. No Harris, No Finch to speak of. And their international imports leave little to be desired.

Strikers boom recruit.

‘Strikers coach Jason Gillespie said: “Fawad is not travelling with us at the moment. He’s just got a little niggle in his side. We’re hopeful he’ll be available when we get back to Adelaide later in the week. We’re just getting him assessed today.”’ - from the Interweb

Harris to be fair is awful in t20 and Finch's form….is it really a loss?

Nabi is Melbourne Renegades best player, and that tells you something about their depth.

Nope and Marsh is terrible just got starts and batted slowly

Harris, Finch >>>>>>> Merlo and Seymour

Any day of the week.

Pattinson and Richardson are a good one two punch

Looking forward to Harvey at least and Harper is good for 1-2 flukes a year

Richardson is a mile better
