Please put a knife in this strikers season.

Probably Head and Carey will fire just in time for them to leave again.

 

[SaintBilly]

Please put a knife in this strikers season.

I feel you. After the great start both of us have really tapered off.

 

[Cleavy]

at least they won't have rain interruptions unless the roof leaks

Renegades showed a bit with the bat the other day against Perth. Sutherland is underused batting down the batting order. If the Gades promote him up at the right times, they should be winning more games.

Carey and Head havent looked interested and I guess I can understand with a tour of India coming up.

If the Strikers win, the Renegades have the awkward prospect of barracking for their cross town rivals tomorrow night.

Don't give players an out.

They're paid good money to care.
If you they don't want to play, don't take the money.

Anyway, I don't think it's an attitude thing, they're just not in good form IMO.

That week where Brisbane got Labuschagne, Khawjaha and Renshaw back, Head and Carey should have played the game the same week. I agree about that. Its not a good look for Channel 7 or whoever had the broadcasting rights about them promoting the pair on adverts when they didnt play after the test match.

Smart decision. We can still make it if we lose depending on nrr so this gives us two targets tonight - I’d prefer to win obviously but really I’m just happy to not be last for a change. Three wooden spoons in a row is more like sone other shitty sports team I support.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Hoping for a loss tonight or nothing will change. Making up the numbers in the finals is the worst possible outcome.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Toss pivotal

 

[010203]

From a Strikers perspective, Short has come up short tonight.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Great start

 

[Moonwatcher]

In Carey and Head we trust ...

 

[Moonwatcher]

From a Strikers perspective, Short has come up short tonight.

Unless he takes 3 in the first over.

 

[11kgm]

Don't know why we went Ahmed over anyone else

 

[11kgm]

Will this be the one random good Carey and head game

 

[010203]

Some quality bowling by the Renegades.

 

[MJG14]

Rogers looks unplayable. Looks to be a very tough pitch to bat on.

 

[Torz]

Is this day 4 in Ahmedebad? The ball is gripping square, from the pace bowlers no less...

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Has to be the worst start for any team this year surely

 

[Foreign Legion]

Great over by Rogers

 

[LukeParkerno1]

This has got more life in it than the test pitches.

Not want you want for a T20 game.

Yes it is. Great for a change

 

[BACCS]

If they want high scoring contests, then producing pitches like this ain’t helping… it’s swinging too much to even take the edge of Head’s bat
