There's no intent apart from the opening stand, seems obvious to me.

So when they were taking wickets and scoring runs, it was OK.
But when they lose a few wickets, they don't care?
Ok.

Don't go changing.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

I don't know what I was worried about never in doubt.

 

[FKASC]

Hobgod should’ve been playing all season obviously

 

[Ochre]

Shaun Marsh is apparently third all time runs for the Renegades which is a truly insane stat

 

[amazingjoshy]

AJ Pie hey,?

 

[RookiePick]

Jeez. Lucky we had visitors and I didn't get a chance to embarrass myself with the comments I would have made during our batting innings.

Classic Scorchie Bois defending a sub-par total and cantering home. Agar looking like a weak link barring his comedic fielding efforts.

Possibly the worst piece of wicket keeping to a run out I’ve ever seen just then

 

[Natho]

Great shot finch

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

I reckon Hobgod is improved, been very good for Claremont-Nedlands and can score at a pretty good rate. Definitely need some batting at 6 with how young Connolly is and how bad the openers have been.

For those who missed it and have no idea what I’m on about

 

[Ochre]

I never understand why teams are so quick to call the surge. Bryant and Walter had each faced 2 balls when they called this one.

Renegades cruising, calling it at the first opportunity and immediately losing 3 wickets, chefs kiss.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Having a bit of a streak, looking good for finals, then losing to the cellar-dwelling Renegades - this is vintage Stars.

Both of these teams are awful. They can't even blame test squad availability for being terrible either.

 

[ep2018]

Would love a crack at the Heat in a qualifying final at a neutral ground, as opposed to the Strikers at Optus in a knockout final.

Please dont lose on Tuesday scorchers

Wouldn't say they're awful.

Heat have lost 2 players for tests and both of their internationals.
Scorchers have lost MM, Green, Turner, Richardson and Crawley.

If you want awful, look at today's Melbourne derby for a start.

 

[Tugga27]

Really good article IMO.

Sack the lot – selectors do nothing as cricketers pick the team themselves

If it’s not doing anything beyond backing the senior players’ decisions, when is it time for the selection panel to be formally dissolved, consigned to the irrelevance it has so eagerly embraced?

Was referring to the Melbourne derby, not our game.

Calling it now, Tuesday is the grand final. Especially if the magenta team wins and if the scorchies do win it all , it’ll be a more impressive championship than the season they were on the road all year

Good late addition to the top of the order.

 

[THE A5]

WA legend Shaun Marsh has also announced his retirement from all cricket.

40 years old and still hitting good scores. Legend.

Not great but a definite upgrade on Whiteman.

 

[Wce17]

Forecast for Sydney on Tuesday isn’t looking too great. Could very well be a washout which would give us second spot.

It's being played in Perth.
