Tonight.

Renegades/Strikers.

[Donny]

Renegades won the toss and elected to bat. Kane Richardson is the captain for tonight's game.

0/41 after 6 overs.

Is this the first time Richardson is captaining?

Green & Peirson captained for the first time last night. Not a good night for Peirson. Lost and dropped a high ball... In the end, not sure he even got a glove on it.

What slogathons have shown is how hard fielders find it to catch the really high balls.

[Donny]

If you mean Peirson, he's captained Q'land, (before Khawaja) in Shield. Not sure if he captains the Bulls in BBL, when Lynn's not playing.

"Wicket-keeper / batsman Jimmy Peirson was Queensland’s youngest-ever Sheffield Shield winning captain when the Bulls won the competition in 2018. He is a dynamic middle-order batsman and excellent gloveman." - https://www.qldcricket.com.au/teams/que ... es-peirson

I was also surprised to see K Richardson named as skipper for this match. No idea if he's captained before.
