And, once again, SPD BradSmith is named Player of the Match - this time for his 61 from 42 balls.

It's amazing how easy he makes the game look. While he was singlehandedly destroying the defective technique of the Renegades' bowlers, it looked like it was a 200+ run wicket. It wasn't, of course - the benefit of hindsight shows that only two batsmen reached 50, no other player lasted 40 deliveries and the wicket was about a 170 wicket.

For the Renegades, it looks like Jake Fraser-McGurk has the potential to become the Next Big Show, provided he can curb his enthusiasm. His 48 from 24 made the chase interesting, even as the batsmen around him were showing little resistance.

Tonight.

Strikers v. Heat.

Adelaide Oval. 7.15

[Donny]

Heaps of rain around Adelaide.

Expect at least a delayed start.

[Donny]

Still rain incoming. We'll do well to get a 5-overs a side match in.

[Donny]

Damn. Match abandoned.

[Donny]

Tonight.

Renegades/Scorchers.

GMHBA Stadium, Geelong.

Weather looks clear, although the big system over Adelaide could be a problem if it moves easterly.
