the Strikers

YES 6/11

Best figures for a Striker.

Best figures for a Striker.

By a long way too

That's the trick we've missed, getting Polly in early to let him settle in before he let's go.

Not sure how we've missed it when he's been coming in around the same time in most games. He's been sent in in the 14th over or earlier (including the 13th tonight) in all games except one.

The difference tonight is he was in with a set batsman, it was the first game we haven't lost a bunch of wickets at once.

 

[hey shorty]

Sodhi unbelievable last night, he was helped a bit by the Thunder having to go flat out for net run rate but he bowled superbly.

 

[PykeDream]

We'll do well next season if we can keep Sodhi, Laughlin, Hodge, Dunk and Stanlake while attracting a genuine star international (MS Dhoni?) without having to rely on plebs like Neser.

 

[hey shorty]

Dhoni wouldn't play here, his IPL team wouldn't allow it.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

A wasted season in the end. We may not have the cattle compared to last season but we should have beaten the Stars, Gades and Heat and playing finals. We were cruising against the latter but fell away and the piss farting in the middle overs cost us against the Melbourne teams.

 

[hey shorty]

Does show names don't necessarily mean results. The Melbourne teams have been stacked with internationals for years yet are yet to win. The Renegades have been largely garbage.

 

[hey shorty]

C10 reporting Brad Hodge has been given the flick.

Think that is a good decision.

 

[hey shorty]

Think that is a good decision.

He was still good value this year, but at his age the cliff can come quickly. Struggled against genuine pace at times.

Apparently the Strikers have denied he's been sacked though, so this could get a bit messy.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Just announce it. Don't try to 'manage' the message. People find out anyway.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Ross not much better under pressure than the players we kept.

 

[hey shorty]

Pollard, Hodge and Simmons out the door.

Bit of cash to splash and some room in the lockers for the rest of the lads. Operation Sign Ish Sodhi should be in full swing.

Do we give Rashid up? We can only have two imports and we definitely need a batsman.

 

[Moonwatcher]

I didn't like the idea of city based franchises originally but it does mean under performing teams can be rebuilt quickly. Keeps all supporter bases interested year in year out.

 

[hey shorty]

Rashid is unlikely to be available for the entire tournament though, and that's what we need.

Personally I'd go with an out and out batsman, a De Villiers or Guptil alongside Sodhi.

DeVilliers could captain as well

Christ, they've got to sort the schedule out.

The BBL is clubs, that need their players and have massive numbers of supporters. The ODIs are just friendlies, at the end of the summer.

The BBL should have scheduling integrity.

Certainly a change from the days when 20/20 was the hit and giggle and pension fund and playing for your country was more important.

I'm of the Micky Arthur school that T20 should largely be franchises and less internationals. You want the best players playing as much as possible, bar the Indians of course.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

DeVilliers could captain as well

Is it too late for him to become an Australian...

Ask Uzzie

 

[Danoz]

Ask Uzzie

What? Why ask Uzzie? He's been in Australia since he was very young. Wouldn't it be smarter to ask someone who's done it recently like Botha?
