Could get ugly like last night.
Gades need this win big time but Scorchers should be too good.

unless the early start throws them off

If the Scorchers win, they will definitely finish on top. A Scorchers win gives me a perfect week of BBL tipping. So from my perspective, and I'll put this as politely as I can, don't * it up Scorchers!

Fair to say I've never wanted the Scorchers to win more than tonight!

 

[ep2018]

Would much rather play the sixers at Optus than a tricky SCG pitch, I hope we get the win tonight.

Agar not playing, interested to know what the go is there.

Melbourne Renegades (Playing XI): Shaun Marsh, Martin Guptill, Sam Harper(w), Aaron Finch(c), Matthew Critchley, Jonathan Wells, Will Sutherland, Jack Prestwidge, Tom Rogers, Corey Rocchiccioli, David Moody

Perth Scorchers (Playing XI): Stephen Eskinazi, Cameron Bancroft, Aaron Hardie, Josh Inglis(w), Ashton Turner(c), Nick Hobson, Cooper Connolly, Matthew Kelly, Andrew Tye, David Payne, Jason Behrendorff

Melbourne Renegades have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[NYRB]

Corey Rocchiccioli is back in his home state from what I gather.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Soooo, if Perth win tonight, Strikers could still sneak in???

Asking for a friend.

Wells isnt a west aussie

 

[NYRB]

Wells isnt a west aussie

he played for WA i think in one dayers didn't he?

 

[Saints4ever]

Wells is Tasmanian

 

[CakeEater]

he played for WA i think in one dayers didn't he?

According to Wiki hes a Taswegian.

 

[Tugga27]

Agar not playing, interested to know what the go is there.

Morris as well.

Maybe not playing them both ad they won't be here for the finals.
If that's the case, Iike it.

Hatzoglou very stiff IMO.

Yes

 

[NYRB]

i dont think that combined Renegades have played a lot together as a first XI.

Scorchers might just be rotating Agar with their bowling rotations.

Agar and Morris won't be here for the finals.
Maybe that's why they've been left out.

 

[NYRB]

im surprised David Moody didnt get more game time, after playing well down in Tasmania

 

[NYRB]

Agar and Morris won't be here for the finals.
Maybe that's why they've been left out.

yeah i guess thats a good point. So the point would then be thrown, will Steve Smith play in the BBL finals?

if not, then thats a huge loss for the Sixers.

 

[ioppolo]

he played for WA i think in one dayers didn't he?

He was on our list for a while but he moved here from his home state.

 

[NYRB]

im not sure if the Gades can give us a game tonight, if they had: Fraser McGurk, Harvey, Dre Russ, Akeal and Richardson maybe.

Guptill, Shaun Marsh and Finch are too old and are past their prime.

 

[Tugga27]

yeah i guess thats a good point. So the point would then be thrown, will Steve Smith play in the BBL finals?

if not, then thats a huge loss for the Sixers.

I'm not sure if he's available for the finals anyway.
I think he only signed for 4 games.

 

[NYRB]

My thinking was they were going to be here up the end of the finals. From memory think there was a 4 day gap between BBL Final and 1st test in India.

 

[NYRB]

thats a lovely shot from the Eski!
