a crippling blow to their pursuit of 3-185 at Optus Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;What a catch, we&#x27;ve seen some brilliance in the field already in the BBL and it&#x27;s just been matched,&quot; Adam Gilchrist said on Fox Cricket.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;What a brilliant catch, lit up Perth Stadium.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Mike Hussey compared it <a href=\"https:\/\/wwos.nine.com.au\/cricket\/bbl10-melbourne-renegades-mackenzie-harvey-classic-catch-sydney-thunder-alex-hales-metricon-stadium\/316409d9-cec7-4e7d-9d64-0a2bb92db724\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"to the spectacular grab from a Renegades youngster this week.\">to the spectacular grab from a Renegades youngster this week.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&quot;Could this be better than Mackenzie Harvey&#x27;s just a few days ago?<\/p>\n<p>&quot;It&#x27;s pretty similar to Harvey&#x27;s,&quot;

Symonds said.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;But Jason Roy there, magnificent effort away to his unnatural side, right handed.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;That&#x27;s the end of the dangerous Shaun Marsh.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Got his leap in well, his head up to nearly the height of the ball.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><img data-video-id=\"6219686817001\" src=\"https:\/\/vms-network-images-prod.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/2021\/01\/335106\/pickerImage.jpg\" alt=\"BBL ball in a beer cup\" data-vms-id=\"ref:ckjfe3j0t006i0gpgpsxajec0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Fox Cricket team then crossed to Roy&#x27;s compatriot Liam Livingstone, who joked that Roy had &quot;put a bit of mayo&quot; on his dive.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Everyone was laughing because we&#x27;re scoring our fielding and he&#x27;s two from two, he&#x27;s won both games at the moment so everyone&#x27;s trying to out-do him,&quot; Livingstone said.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;But he&#x27;s getting himself into great positions and our fielding coach I think has a soft spot for Jase.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;But to be fair he works really hard on it.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;He&#x27;s one of the best in the world at it, fields there for England and does a great job.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><img data-video-id=\"6219790090001\" src=\"https:\/\/vms-network-images-prod.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/2021\/01\/335182\/pickerImage.jpg\" alt=\"Spinner shines on 16th birthday\" data-vms-id=\"ref:ckjgqaxso006r0guxwblr2uc8\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After Roy and Livingstone both departed for 20s, Josh Inglis and Colin Munro combined for a decisive, match-winning partnership of 117.<\/p>\n<p>Inglis top scored with 72 not out from 41 balls while Kiwi import Colin Munro blasted 52 off 31.<\/p>\n<p>Perth have now won two straight games after dropping their first three to creep up the BBL table.<\/p>\n<p>But the Renegades remain stone cold last after they crumbled to be 96 all out.<\/p>\n<p>Jack Prestwidge top scored with 33 for the Renegades, who were embarrassingly bowled out in the 13th over.<\/p>\n<p><img data-id=\"2ced2686-8765-4f78-8590-5a53478853e8\" src=\"https:\/\/prod.static9.net.au\/fs\/2ced2686-8765-4f78-8590-5a53478853e8\" alt=\"Jason Roy takes a screamer.\" data-width=\"1280\" data-height=\"720\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&quot;They&#x27;ve been disappointing,&quot; Michael Hussey said.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I must admit, coming into the tournament I had them as the big improvers because (captain Aaron) Finch was going to be available the whole season, same with Kane Richardson.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;They got a few overseas players, they got Josh Lalor from the Brisbane Heat, who&#x27;s a good operator as well, I thought Shaun Marsh would be better again after a second year at the Renegades.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;They&#x27;ve been disappointing again.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Symonds was even stronger.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Their batting was a disaster,&quot;
