[Hamingja]

See if Hobart can piss away a finals spot against the Renegades two years in a row....

I think from here they would qualify if they took the bash boost point against the Stars but really should lock it up with a win tonight

Should win easy, Renagades don’t value there wicket, most of them get out with dumb shots

Surely the invisible man Unmukt Chand isn’t going to mysteriously appear

[GoldenMagpie16]

Caleb Jewell was fine batting at 2. Why fix something that aren't broke

 

[Cleavy]

Chand is alive!

 

[GoldenMagpie16]

The BBL will do whatever they can to fix this match.

 

[NYRB]

no Maddinson, No Richardson, those outs enough for the Canes to cement their finals spot tonight.

 

[NYRB]

Hurricanes can mathematically finish 2nd on the standings if all results go their way. Highly unlikely though.

 

[Plugger35]

The Hurricanes should win this game easily, that Renegades team is one of the worst BBL teams I've ever seen.

 

[NYRB]

A 100-110 run win by the Canes tonight might put them in calculations for a Top 3 spot.

 

[NYRB]

Michael Hussey motivation for the Gades?

Most of these players are playing for their contracts next season.

 

[NYRB]

the reality is, bar Finch and maybe Boyce, none of them are good enough to make a Top 3 side in the BBL for me.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Hope Strikers finish fourth so a bonus point win to the Renegades tonight.

 

[NYRB]

this looks like the same pitch they used last night for the Brisbane Bears and Perth Scorchers

 

[Hamingja]

Hope Strikers finish fourth so a bonus point win to the Renegades tonight.

Are all the finals in Melbourne too? If so no difference 4th v 5th is there.

 

[Crashy]

OMG catch of the tournament

 

[Moonwatcher]

Didn't realise that but at least the 4th placed team 'deserves' finals. Even if we Bradbury

 

[NYRB]

superb catch from Evans running back with the flight.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

That Evans catch is right up there.
