*Official* Big Bash League 10 2020-21

[Prince EWS]

that was wide

Like your face.

 

[Gnske]

The fielding of Nabi is a spectacle worthy of this great competition

 

[Burgey]

Prestwidge is a name long feared - and revered - by all followers of Aus FC and ODD cricket bits and pieces players since the 1990s.

 

[Burgey]

Optus Stadium genuinely looks a great place to play cricket

Not a great start for TJB’s bois here

 

[Burgey]

Gonna be funny when they ask Arun why Harper opened instead of him and he says he had the squirts

edit: hahahahahaha holy **** that’s the worst way to get out

 

[Gnske]

If batsmen in T20s focused more on hitting big runs rather than scrambling for sad singles you'd avoid that type of dismissal entirely.

 

[Gnske]

Rossouw is a big flop

 

[_Ed_]

Another quality showing from the Renegades so far.

 

[Burgey]

Wow, they’re ****ing terribad

 

[_Ed_]

Bloody hell. Has any team been bundled out for less than 100 three times in a season before?

 

[Gnske]

Eliminate the Melbourne teams and you have a pretty good competition

Hell combine the Stars and Renegades into a new side and call them the Canberra Comets, more bang for buck

 

[Burgey]

Presto gonna get them close here

 

[Nintendo]

Would be very Melbourne if you gave a bbl team a lineup of
1.Marsh
2.Finch/Stoinis
3.Stoinis/Finch
4.Maxwell
5.Pooran +
6.Nabi
7.Prestwidge
8.NCN
9.Hatcher
10.Kane Richo
11.Zampa

And they still managed to lose.

 

[Burgey]

Presto gonna get them close here

Disappointing tstl

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Great strategy by the Renegades here. In electing to field first against a better side (as any side is better than them regardless of on-paper strength), they ensured that they might have at least a shot at the Bash Boost® point even if they lost eight wickets in doing so. If they batted first, they'd get no points at all. If you can neither defend with the ball nor chase, best go for the option that will at least get you something.

 

[Gnske]

Low key great catch from Behrendorff there on the boundary.

 

[Gnske]

Great game, yet another close finish.

 

[Burgey]

Good to get the undercard done early so the main event can be brought forward

 

[NotMcKenzie]

The thing about a combined Melbourne side is that they have very different styles:

The Stars are a bunch of very (?) talented players (and Adam Zampa, and Billy Stanlake) who should theoretically put up a very strong performance but manage to choke a lot of the time. In short, they get results like Brisbane, only more extreme and with better fielding.

The Renegades are a pathetic, hopeless mob who somehow manage to play even less than the sum of their parts, hence their tendancy to crash and burn in a spectacular fashion like they did today.

You don't want to deny us the spectacle of seeing both styles in action, surely?

 

[Daemon]

Is this TJB's team. Why are they so bad?
