We're done for the day. On behalf of Sudeep and myself, I'm signing off.

Player of the Match Tom Rogers: "The other night we weren't too happy with how we executed it (Powerplay), so Fergus and I went back to the drawing board and really wanted to make an impression tonight. Great effort for the team to put the best foot forward and hopefully get the boys a win. And the boys in the middle took care of it. I think we put the ball in pretty good areas. A little bit of luckier times as well. I think that left-side catch from Seifert was an absolute Screamer! (Hattrick Chance) No, Obviously you want to tick that box off, right? I don't think it's coming from me. But I reckon Fergus got one in it. And it will be a hell of a celebration when he does."

Mustafa Moudi: "The entire Feedback was all about Ponting. He was be glad with such a tribute from Cricinfo on his 50th Birthday !!" Punter is undoubtedly having a great time celebrating his birthday with his family. If he has time, he will check the cricinfo communications and feel delighted.

Renegades, however, was cruising towards victory. How quickly they could seal the match was the question. They accomplished it with 66 balls left. Despite losing JFM's wicket early on, the Renegades had no more trouble chasing the 75-run target. Seifert scored 37 runs off of 19 balls to take the lead in the batting lineup. In addition to taking two wickets and being economical, Nathan Ellis was outstanding with the bowl in hand. However, the Hurricanes bowling unit was unable to defend the target because it was far too low.

Melbourne Renegades won the match by 6 wickets

Half-volley on the off stump, driven softly down the ground to mid-off, Jordan tried to show a bit of his footwork and failed to stop the ball, the batters complete the double comfortably

Ellis to Seifert, 1 run

Fuller length on the stumps, forces it away through the square leg area for a single

Jamie: "Punter definitely has one of the best cricket brains around. In the Thunder game the other day on comms he said before Warner's first ball that the reverse sweep looked to be on. First ball and he nailed the reverse for 4. Bet he was pleased with himself after that. "

Slower bouncer wide outside off, Seifert attempts to reach it and only managed to find the toe end of the bat back to the bowler

Meredith to Harvey, 1 run

Back of a length delivery battered through the cover region for a single

NicF: "I don't understand why Ellis didn't get the ball immediately, his skillset exactly matches the balls that got wickets in the first innings. Every Cane bowler that's bowled on pace has been smashed, they've not bowled anywhere enough off pace."

7.4

Meredith to Harvey, 2 runs

Back of a length outside off, plays it square of the wicket wide of the backward point fielder, deep extra cover comes around and cuts it off

Mustafa Moudi: "Jagannadh: Of Course I am enjoying it the most because by the time our discussion is going on, the entire match is about to be over. Let be reiterate my point for the Final Time (because the match will be over soon). To be the Greatest Cricketer, one must excel in multiple fields. He might not be the Best Batsman but he is indeed the Best Cricketer of Australia !!"

7.3
Meredith to Harvey, no run

Length ball around off, turns it down to the on-side

Meredith to Evans, OUT

Short of a length ball, moves away to make room, tries to play through backward point, beaten by the extra bounce off the pitch. Half-hearted appeal from the fielding side, opts to review the decision. Wait a second! Ultra edge confirms a spike as the ball passes the outside edge of Evans. Good awareness from McDermott behind the stumps to convince the skipper for the review.

I noticed Matthew Wade earlier trying to walk while wearing an ice pack on his leg.

Meredith to Evans, SIX runs

Lovely piece of timing! Full in the slot on the pads, uses the pace of the ball and flicks it well over the square leg fence

Ryan: "Not Rob here, but Ponting has the best cricket brain going around, sure he had amazing players in his team, but his field placements, tactics against players and use of those superstars certainly helped win games, or dig them out of holes."

Aashish Calla: "@Rob: Bryce McGain - 101 FC wickets, at an average of 35 and SR of 62, what's so special about him that him not getting games ahead of Warne and MacGill is any surprise?"
