#2 Bravo suffers fielding mishap, blow for Renegades

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - DECEMBER 29: Dwayne Bravo of the Melbourne Renegades is taken from the ground on a stretcher after injuring himself in the field during the Big Bash League match between the Melbourne Renegades and Perth Scorchers at Etihad Stadium on December 29, 2016 in Melbourne, Australia.

In the 11^th over of Scorchers’ innings, Klinger struck a short pitched delivery from Hogg towards the point boundary. Running a long way from deep extra cover, Bravo put in a valiant attempt to save the boundary but ended up landing on his shoulder as well as pulling his hamstring.

Though he did manage to save two runs on that occasion, it was a body blow for the Renegades, who would have banked on his expertise as a death over specialist when things went down to the wire.

Finch filled in for Bravo’s overs and picked up the key wicket of Mitchell Marsh but one wonders whether it would have been a different script for the Renegades had Bravo been on the field.
