BBL Match 46 Melbourne Renegades v Sydney Sixers @ Kardinia Park Tues 11 Jan 1845 ACDT

[Tugga27]

Who has to go for the Gades next season- if they can get rid of:

GO:

Shaun Marsh (38 years old and one can clearly see he doesnt have the same agility in his younger days)
Nabi
Reece Topley
Will Sutherland
Maddinson (there is a reason why him and the Sydney Sixers parted ways)
James Seymour
James Pattinson (too fat and looks overweight to be in the team)

KEEP:
Finch
Zahir Khan
Prestwidge (dont know why the Gades refuse to play him)
Mackenzie Harvey (good fielder but hardly seen him fire with the bat on a strike rate wise stat)
Kane Richardson

Give them 1 year to prove themselves:
Sam Harper (simply doesn't have the power game despite his experience)
Fraser-McGurk (too young and inexperienced- he may thrive under a better team I feel)


HAVEN'T SEEN ENOUGH TO PROVE THEMSELVES (could easily be flicked or kept):
Boyce
Lalor
Merlo
Z Evans

Marsh is going nowhere.
Finch is one of his best mates and the Gades offered him a 3 year deal in 2019 whereas the Scorchers off him a 1 year contract.

 

[Tugga27]

Still been one of their leading runscorers this season but admitedly his runs have come at a slower pace.

1 decent innings from 8 games.

If you were grading the Renegades this season, Finch would get a C grade. Hasn't been their worst, and he would be closer to their top 3 or top 4 players this season- which goes to show you how pi$$ they have been.

Finch has pretty much been out of form for 2 years.
Averaged 13 last season and is averaging 26 this year.

Add this to the fact that these days, he's a liability in the field.

I think some teams will target Nick Hobson after how he batted today for the Scorchers.

alot of the Scorcher players who aren't a regular first XI will be targeted by the bottom teams of this campaign.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Been poor since BBL09. Past it now/doesn't care enough for the domestic league.

His last 15-20 knocks domestically and internationally are a cause for concern. In a bit of a rut but seems to be unfazed by it and it's not being scrutinised anywhere near as much as it should be. Did pretty much nothing at the world cup bar a few reasonable knocks and so far in the BBL has had 2 decent innings of note with one 50. If he wasn't the captain of Australia and had the runs on the board from past deeds there wouldn't be a grace period right now.

Yes but as one of the best T20 players in the world not just Australia for many years now you shouldn't be accepting of autopilot batting performances from him. There's an expectation you need to reach as a leader and the best player in the team and he hasn't done nearly enough to warrant a pass. Maxwell is the same bar 1 fantastic innings he has been terrible.
