[Aussie_boy]

Daniel Hughes could also potentially open, read the other day he was batting well in their trails.

 

[eth-dog]

But he's crap.

 

[fantasyunit]

Ok I'll try from the OP's list.

Hartley (wk)
Hussey
Kallis
Morgan
Mcdonald
Blizzard
Borgas
Cummins
Hauritz
Sandhu
Nannes

Yep, solid. I'd probably have Patterson in for Borgas, but looks pretty right.

Floros is at the Heat now.

White, Beer, Bird, Boland, Faulkner, Hastings, Hussey, Maxwell, Pietersen, Rose, Triffitt, Worrall, Wright.

No Stoinis or McKay.

Rose and Worrall to miss you'd expect, really surprised about no Stoinis.

Wright
Pietersen
White
Hussey
Maxwell
Faulkner
Triffit
Hastings
Rose
Bird
Beer/Boland (depending on pitch)

 

[eth-dog]

Beer will play ahead of Rose.

 

[fantasyunit]

Strikers 13:

Botha, Hodge, Head, Kingston, Laughlin, Lawford, Ludeman, Pollard, Richardson, Ross, Simmons, Tait, Zampa.

No sign of Dean, probably two choices to make between Head/Ross and Lawford/Kingston?? Or maybe Head and Ross will both play with Laughlin, Tait, Richardson, Zampa, Botha, Pollard sufficient bowling?

 

[Aussie_boy]

Think Lawford and Kingston will miss which will make the team:
Simmons
Ludeman
Head
Hodge
Ross
Pollard
Botha
Richardson
Zampa
Laughlin
Tait

Batting lineup surprisingly deep but the inexperience of Head and Ross is a little concerning.

 

[TN25]

Is Strikers vs Stars tomorrow night?

 

[Smartys Power]

Is Strikers vs Stars tomorrow night?

Yep.

 

[TN25]

Yep.

Awesome. Shame the Scorchers don't play until the 22nd. Can't wait to see them play!

 

[JC Hawks]

Melbourne Stars
1. Wright
2. White
3. Pietersen
4. Maxwell
5. Hussey
6. Faulkner
7. Triffit
8. Hastings
9. Boland
10. Bird
11. Beer

12. Rose
13. Worrall

Surprised that Stoinis and Feldman aren't in the 13 man squad. Would have Stoinis in for Boland and even Feldman in for Boland.

Adelaide Strikers
1. Simmons
2. Ludeman
3. Hodge
4. Head
5. Ross
6. Pollard
7. Botha
8. Richardson
9. Zampa
10. Laughlin
11. Tait

12. Lawford
13. Kingston

Adelaide opting to go Head and Ross over Jono Dean. Strikers batting line up looks vulnerable if Stars can get Hodge and Simmons out cheaply.

Will be a close game I feel with Stars winning in the end.

 

[Smartys Power]

Very excited to see Alex Ross get a crack. Showed a bit in the One Day comp.

 

[thetradesman]

Strikers will really struggle this season.

Batting line up is poor.

 

[CricketFan]

Ok I'll try from the OP's list.

Hartley (wk)
Hussey
Kallis
Morgan
Mcdonald
Blizzard
Borgas
Cummins
Hauritz
Sandhu
Nannes

Borgas had his contract paid out.

McDonald
Kallis
Hussey
Morgan
Blizzard
Patterson
Hartley
Cummins
Hauritz
Sandhu
Nannes

McDonald opened in the practice match.

Not much in the way of bowling options if something goes wrong with the 4 front line bowlers or Kallis.

 

[CricketFan]

Melbourne Stars
1. Wright
2. White
3. Pietersen
4. Maxwell
5. Hussey
6. Faulkner
7. Triffit
8. Hastings
9. Boland
10. Bird
11. Beer

12. Rose
13. Worrall

Surprised that Stoinis and Feldman aren't in the 13 man squad. Would have Stoinis in for Boland and even Feldman in for Boland.

Stoinis has a minor finger injury.

Worrall played the practice match ahead of Boland so I'd say he'll be in.

Agree on Feldman. Expected him to be in.

 

[Commissioner Gordon]

Strikers will really struggle this season.

Batting line up is poor.

I don't think it's too bad at all, provided Simmo and Ludeman do well. Trav Head is a gun expect him to have a good tournament

Relying on Simmons too much for me, Ludeman is only average.

 

[CricketFan]

Relying on Simmons too much for me, Ludeman is only average.

Pollard's in the form of his life which helps. Shame they'll only get him for the first half of the tournament.

Think both Melbourne teams are in good shape.

And the thunder and Scorchers.

 

[fantasyunit]

Stoinis has a minor finger injury.

Worrall played the practice match ahead of Boland so I'd say he'll be in.

Agree on Feldman. Expected him to be in.

Have an inkling that something happened to Feldman in the shield match.

 

[thetradesman]

Is there going to be match threads on all the BBL games?
