Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

Renegades fall behind the asking rate for the first time. Finchy is playing the anchor, but he surely needs to be getting a wriggle on... he is the set batsman after all and the others are all starting to commit hari kari

not sure the switch hit was the right option for AF. he now leaves Dan 'the finisher' Christian, who had just come in, with no-one to bat with. It will take something extraordinary for Melbourne to win this from here

looks like he might be about to do it, though. 4 off 5 balls has become 30 off 13. Sixers are now dropping catches and bowling wides under the pressure

although DC is not on strike and Boyce has done a Warnie and trodden on his stumps first ball. not over yet. 7 needed 5 balls

the only thing up for grabs is the coveted 8th place. GJ firmly in charge, but he would lose it if the Big Ponce were to score 122 points in the final........... which is not beyond him, tbh

Close but no cigar well done RD and thanks DFM

this has been a very keenly contested FL.

straight across from the super smash, and the Big Ponce does what he does best..... scores one run and wastes an over doing it, in a modest run chase

he really is a great big tool.

Dan's your man in this game. He's dragged the Renegades kicking and screaming all the way to this title. If you are a one man team, then you'd better make sure it's Dan Christian.

Not sure he has an IPL contract, which seems a waste
