Both sides have agreed to bat the opposite hand this match, too try and get some entertainment

 

[troybe]

Both teams are playing so poorly that they won’t allow Ch7 to televise the game to avoid any embarrassment

Well Maxwell bats both but that is not helping him at the moment.Quite a few posters here have had enough of T20 cricket,perhaps most of the players have similar thoughts.

lol Renegades... such a spud team. Game over already

 

[k31th]

that sort of ricochet is fairly unlucky... Maddinson 2 ball duck

 

[Themanbun]

FFS LOL

 

[juss]

Can I resume my sack the Renegades management and overhaul the roster rant?

 

[Aussie_boy]

Maddo absolutely stinks. They'll do well to get 100 here.

No roof and at the MCG looking at the sky right now this game could have been a washout.

 

[ImissFrosty]

No substitute for pure pace. Seriously hard to face

 

[juss]

Finch as a late order hitter might have worked, if he wasn't going to be in by the 6th over anyway.....

Reckon that’d have been more entertaining. Reduced overs is the best thing for this match

You'd think he ends up being that 5/6 hitter as he winds down. The heat should do that with Lynn

Lynn could be good at that role yes, 25 off 10, then clean bowled, right up his alley but that's the job of the finisher.

JFM going to hit one? struggling out there

 

[Gift]

lolll this is getting unwatchable now

 

[Coasters7]

A lot of hype over JFM but I don’t really see it, in this form at least. Doesn’t really hit much cleanly

Maybe he needs to go to another team to develop. Loser culture at Renegades would make it hard for him to improve

He's just not ready. People trash this league, but it's not easy to be a dominant batsman in this format or everyone would do it.
Kind of feel for the poor kid, consistently struggling can't be good for his confidence and long term development.

Being a kid at the Renegades would be like getting drafted to the Melbourne Demons during the Scully/Trengove/Watts era. Impossible to build confidence to get better.
