BBL Match 34 Hobart Hurricanes v Melbourne Renegades 14/1 1900hrs @ Bellerive Oval

[cats_09]

Cricket Victoria need to get their grubby hands off each team

Let Private ownership run the tram with the aim being to genuinely win.

Go back to that all Melbourne final - if it's the Stars who win instead, the team that was meant to be the dominant force at least from this state, and seemed like the favourite chold, do they still make the decision to dissolve the seperate boards & bring them under CV?

The best thing that could happen for both teams is as you said, remove them from being under the same operation & allow them to be independent teams again

If they did that, it would be interesting to see how things went for both teams

Gades batting like normal, shite.
I’ve been switching between Fox and 7 for this game. Fox have the duds in Sydney on and are boring as bat Ch 7 have the ground mics switched up to maximum and have commercials every sec. I’m sticking with Fox although it’s in a studio and boring they have the ground sound right down so you can’t hear the dj that’s a bonus for me but if Hads mentions the surge again I’m going throw my remote at the tv.

What happened to Dooley?

Hatzoglou is a strange bowler. I work a bit with his brother who is a great bloke.

Was found out last year

Renegades batting has been very disappointing

Brown started well but has fallen away dramatically
JFM hasn’t shown up
Seiffert started in a blaze of glory, then hasn’t been sighted since
Bethell getting starts but hasn’t gone on with it
Harris why is he getting a game in the BBL

I think Dooley got figured out after his initial novelty value. If Stanlake is gone for the season with a shoulder Hurricanes might have to try Meredith, Ellis, Jordan, Hatzoglou and Dooley as the attack.

I wonder whether you try Owens and a few part timers and think about and extra bat

 

[Hamingja]

It would be good to see a team that hasn't won a BBL title win it and I doubt the Stars or the Strikers will be winning it.

Strikers have won before. Hobart to win so Stars are the only team that haven't!

BJ is stealing a living calling games

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Surely you have to call the surge now

 

[Hamingja]

I wonder whether you try Owens and a few part timers and think about and extra bat

If the extra bat is Wakim or Doran it doesn't have a lot of value to me. Maybe they will give Carlisle a run. Decent red ball bowler but going to be hittable in T20 I'd say.

Harris why is he getting a game in the BBL

Brown missed the trip out west due to "soreness", and he hasn't looked likely in either match since returning. Even when he wasn't going on with this starts earlier in the season, he was at least getting starts but now he's struggling to lay bat on ball - maybe not 100% at the moment

Harris came in after they finally acknowledged JFM simply wasn't working as an opener - problem is he isn't working either. Can go back to our match in Geelong & I called for Harvey to replace JFM as opener with Rooster coming in down the order. Would like to have tried that rather than going back to Harris

Who knows brings the other sides into it

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Why are you blocking singles

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Even if they get 150…that’s unders by a mile

Would be good to see something purple be successful too Freo are harming the brand.

 

[Hamingja]

Hurricanes have been awful on the reviews all tournament

 

[cats_09]

I wonder whether you try Owens and a few part timers and think about and extra bat

I was listening to the ABC radio coverage of the pre-match for tonight, they were talking with Mac Wright about tonight's match plus Hobart's current situation - he commented that factoring in Hobart's forced changes tonight, they have no reserve batsman available for a concussion sub if that arose tonight

BJ is stealing a living calling games

He’s really bad with two bad “experts”

Exactly, you can then build a genuine rivalry.

 

[10Dulkar]

Off-tube or not, it's staggering an ex-test cricketer could be so bad at judging where a ball is going in the outfield.

 

[boncer34]

Hobart strike when needed again.

 

[Hamingja]

He’s really bad with two bad “experts”

He was an excellent domestic bowler. It's hard to believe he ever played the game listening to him commentate. Like you might not like say Mark Waugh but he does have some insightful stuff about fielding and batting technique etc. I might as well commentate instead of BJ.

 

[Coasters7]

Fox coverage is shithouse again

 

[cats_09]

Fox coverage is shithouse again

That's the problem with not having the commentators at the game

 

[PoopingHindi]

this Bethel kid looks quality.
I doubt we see him in this competition again.
