Let’s be honest, the Stars-Renegades merger really is ridiculous. For 15 years they were constantly billed as arch rivals by the promoters, and then one day the powers that be are just like, “Meh, let’s merge ‘em”. How can Victorian BBL fans possibly be expected to be invested in the next incarnation of T20 teams in their state? They’ve been taken for an absolute ride
@declanmartin75 Great! I think if the option’s there for three storey it’s a win for all, but obviously not always feasible. Would love to see more verge gardens here given the floor area ratio 😅
Today was the end of the @StarsBBL and the @RenegadesBBL as we know them.
Staff were informed the Stars & the Renegades are merging into one brand new Victorian franchise to play at the MCG & likely wear navy blue.
The club will be called the Melbourne (insert nickname), but it won't be the Stars.
Cricket Victoria has committed to selling its second license entirely.

@gwynne007 Nope. Australians just won’t support the other team, given it’s privatised. If I’m a Renegades fan, I’m going straight over to the rebranded Stars.
