Big Bash - Perth Scorchers v Melbourne Renegades - Perth

Sad news about Tony Greig losing his battle with Lung Cancer. True great of the game .. Will be sorely missed.



So, the Renegades, unbeaten so far, play the Scorchers, who have 2 wins from 4 games.

Baking hot, as ever in Perth .. A lazy 40c.

Renegades win the toss, and decide to field.

Renegades 1.88

Scorchers 2.10

Scorchers run line - 154



Money seems to be with Scorchers .. Which, I find odd. Maybe they think home pitch will help their bowlers .. I don't like the batting, and am happy to be with Renegades at 1.91.
