Strikers all over the Renegades now. Looked to be in serious trouble when Gayle was out there but now the Renegades batsman have dropped like Flies.

Diabolical batting by Renegades

They really spudded it up!

[LBT]

The strikers lost Pollard, Botha, Putland and Zampa before a ball was bowled remarkably have a big shot at the title!

Not bad for a side that were given no hope at all

rashid and jayawardene are fair replacements though. But the form of head is what has got us there

Adelaide Strikers vs Sydney Thunder @ Adelaide Oval

Melbourne Stars vs Perth Scorchers @ MCG

[Mr Beefy]

Got out of jail there. That total should of been a walk in the park. Will not win a final with Ludeman at the top of the order

Was 5th highest run scorer on this years BBL, equal most 4s too....

[The Bedge]

So any chance of perhaps dropping West, moving Ludeman down the order a bit and then having Dean & Jayawardene open?

Would still leave us Neser, Laughlin, Rashid, Head, Holland..

Or does West and Lehmann go out for a Putland and Jayawardene, and Ludes down the order?

Or is it just a simple swap of Dean for Jayawardene?

Strikers v Scorchers.
Paris has been released by Australia to play and Behrendorf back also. They will skittle the Stars cheaply

Got my tix, front row of the 2nd tier on the wing on the Eastern side. Still have a couple of unused strike force membership numbers that can be used for up to 8 tix if anyone wants to get tix before they go on sale to the public. Can't wait!

Would have to be the most UN inspiring list of players to watch i could think of.

What people see in this crap has got me F*****D.

The fact that the captain is a 40 y.o. Victorian sums up how much of a JOKE this comp is.

Exactly. I dont think Mark (Spud) Waugh has picked us once.

I do love Junior as a commentator as he is usual very accurate and tells it how it is but f**k me he has been extremely biased against the Strikers all tournament, hasn't given them a chance. Too caught up in his Sydney Thunder governor bullshit, needs to get his head out of his arse.
