would that be the same agar that has the third best economy rate in the tournament, inferior only to lyon (three games) and rashid khan?

He's good. We made him look like a cross between Shane Warne and Jim Laker. He's not that good. The Aus selectors today said he's not quite there yet. He is also used very cleverly by the Scorchers, as alluded to by Ponting when talking about Powerplays...helps when your team backs up in the field as well as they do...

It's like you're playing the entity, not just individual men, when you line up against Perth. That line was invented in reference to Hawthorn a couple of years back...wish it was still true...! Their players aren't THAT great, a fairly serviceable combined XI could be made from the other 7 sides without any Scorchers involved, but the whole is greater than the sum. Put him somewhere else, and Agar would be tonked, It remains to be seen how they hold it together missing a couple of players in the next fortnight...it's only the randomness of T20 cricket that allows you to imagine knocking them off in a final...!
 
How important is the Canes game against the Stars on Saturday!!


-WIN vs STARS and they're in.
-LOSE vs STARS and they could be out with their NRR (they'll need to hope for Renegades winning their last 2 to get in)!

sudden death HEAT v RENEGADES finale a real chance if Thunder and Stars get up. Hypothetical of course given the Stars inept ability at batting, bowling and fielding this season.

Given this injury was from the preseason I doubt it.

could be one of those injuries that Eagles players get and the club opt to not go the surgery route that doesn't improve and they have to get surgery again. I have a feeling Turner will miss the second part of the shield season.

Hohns was yesterday quoted as saying Agar was still in the "developmental stage of his bowling" and wasn't ready for SA (Cricinfo)...Holland got the backup spinner's job...

What's national T20 selection anyway? Most of you above are grumbling that a domestic comp which never features the best players in any case will be compromised by "meaningless internationals", and that the cap is devalued by constant Mickey Mouse selections...!

Ah yes, I remember BBL01 and BBL02 not so fondly...

Whereas BBL03 put the saw the undefeated Stars go down to the Canes in the Tim Paine v Eddie Maguire grudge match...it was worth losing the GF to the Scorchers (who also finished lower than their semi opponent) just to dump that s**t on Eddie...

Lets face it, everyone hates the Stars for that.

I don't have fond memories of that hack Blizzard belting it everywhere.

Blizzard continues to get underrated on here. It's bemusing.

He's only been selected by a struggling outfit twice all season.

He's past it now, but to call him a hack? He was a good T20 player for a while there
Agent93 said:
Beneficiary of being part of a very good team for a couple of years. Elevated his game, so when that team fell down, he disappeared.

He was a good T20 player for a while there. He wasn't a star, he wasn't s**t, just a happy medium.

What happened? I wasn't following BBL back then.
 
I hope Jhye doesn't become Pie again when he returns to the side. Bowled well in the ODI so hopefully that translates.

Will prove to be hard to restrict sides enough without a spinner
