Twitter reacts as Harvey auditions for David Corenswet’s upcoming Superman sequel with mind-numbing direct hit

The Scorchers lost Finn Allen early inside the powerplay as Fergus O’Neill removed him on the third ball of the match. The ball moved laterally for a long while, troubling the batters – Keaton Jennings and Cooper Connolly as they collected just 12 runs inside the mandatory field restrictions. The woes deepened when Mackenzie Harvey pulled out an impeccable runout to remove Jennings in the fifth over.

After three singles in the over, Connolly tapped a back of a length delivery near backward point and tried to sneak a single. Mackenzie from there, swooped in and enforced a direct hit with only one stump to aim from square of the wicket. Jennings was running at the danger’s end, and unfortunately, his bat got stuck in the crease at the wrong time. With the bullseye being nailed, Jennings was a goner and the Renegades group erupted in ecstasy. The Twitterverse, however, lauded Mackenzie by stating to audition for the next Superman sequel.

What a throw!

Not fit

The Big Bash be renamed the The Bog Bash based on this wicket and outfield. Not even fit for village second XI cricket #BBL14 #farce #bigbash #bogbash

Ruined it

The Big Bash and 20/20 format in general has ruined the quality of Australian cricket. This is basically the talent that will be competing for the next generation of test cricketers, and they are encouraged to try and slap 6’s non stop. And bowl slower balls. 🤦🏼‍♂️ #BBL #auscricket

It is

Marvel pitch and field deplorable.
However do they cater to 15,000 for 4-5 Big Bash games or 10-15 concerts with 40,000 to 60,000 people…
Perhaps simply sharing the MCG would be a more elegant solution long-term.
