it is now!. Little nudge to the onside sealed the one. Comprehensive win against a heavily depleted Brisbane Heat side. Hard not to feel sorry for them. But they had one or two who acquitted themselves well. It's the Renegades, however, who cruise to victory
Heat vs Renegades, 35th Match at Geelong, BBL, Jan 06 2022 - Match Result
Renegades won by 5 wickets (with 30 balls remaining)
smashes it over midwicket, finally gets that shot he'd been trying all along. Sails away for six. They thought it was all over...
eased down to fine leg
dragged down legside
Harvey spoons it to cover-point. The Heat are picking up a few wickets as the game approaches its conclusion, though it's all obviously too late
full toss driven back down the ground on the up
targeting midwicket again, but thwacks into his pads
Ronan McDonald's back in for a, ahem, second helping
driven straight to extra cover, and that's Grant done, too. 4-0-20-3. So Mujeeb and Grant's figures 8-0-37-4. The rest: 6-0-81-0. Ouch.
squeezed down to square leg
carved past extra cover. The man in the deep does well to keep it down to a couple
gets that higher than he does long. It goes a mile in the air but Mujeeb at square leg adjusts very well and takes a good catch. Grant's face breaks into a wholesome smile, he's done well under the circumstances
slapped straight to mid-off
tried to smite it over midwicket again. Gets an inside edge only, which has the corporate boxes heaving a sigh of relief
darts through, pins him in as Maddinson defends. Really good spell from Mujeeb. In an innings where the other bowlers have gone for just under 11, he's gone at just over four. Staggering
eased through the offside and the pair exchange ends
Dave: "Much respect for publishing my earlier, somewhat critical comment - I definitely agree with your reply, his record isn't wonderful - he's always had the talent, but not really the application. "
a bit too much turn there. Beats the keeper and that allows them a couple opf extra runs
gets the broom out to get himself off strike
made room and tried to work it through the offside against the turn, but Mujeeb's a difficult bowler to get away like that. He ends up beaten
guides it down to deep point
Jack: "Given that 8 players are making club debuts, this has been a lion hearted showing from essentially a second XI. Hopefully Covid doesn't strike more for any team too much" Really? I mean, it's been all right, but nothing more. They're still getting thumped. Maybe that's harsh
slapped to extra cover and they scuttle through for a single
