Gough, just a small thing

Thunder have Toby Gray in for Tanveer Sangha who is injured. He's a replacement leg spinner. He's just a replacement till Tanveer is fit

Opening game at Manuka? Jeez, they do themselves a disservice every year...

Anyway, potentially 8 internationals for the Stars and 6 for the Thunder. Handy sides.

It’s our home game and we split games between Manuka and Showgrounds. I prefer Manuka flatter pitch helps Hales

 

[juss]

Need to see the Thunder named side before giving a tip. I would lean towards them, but this should be a well contested opening game that is hard to pick.

 

[NYRB]

Finding it hard to motivate myself for this years Bash. Players like Hales and Rossouw will likely leave around the half way stage of the comp.

Plus you have a T20 league on at a simultaneous time as the Bash( The Lanka Premier League)

It's just off-Broadway, if you know what I mean.

Suits the BBL flat pitch short square boundaries and high scores. Better than Marvel or some rubbish

 

[nobbyiscool]

Strangely excited for this, I enjoy the routine of having BBL on every night. Plenty of teams I don't care about who you've given up on by New Year's, but for now they can hook it into my veins, especially when I'm really angry and upset about what the A-league has done to our other big summer sport.

Same old squad for the Stars.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Thunder bowl first

Thankfully finally dropped Cutting, Davies in

Sandhu gets the fast bowling spot over McAndrew

 

[Tugga27]

Looking forward to watching Ollie Davies today.

 

[magpiemaniac44]

Stoinis, Cartwright and Webster will have to bowl 4 overs between them.

Does Cartwright even bowl these days?

Should be a close game

 

[Voice of the G]

Couch and Rogers

2 Stars have covid,how come they can play?

It’s NSW we don’t care about that now.

Should be a close game

As long as he’s not too unwell Stoinis can easily bowl 4.

 

[juss]

Tipping Thunder, but should be a good game. Stars to make 160-170 and Thunder to chase it down in the 19th.

 

[juss]

On another note, surely in Canberra on a Tuesday night is not the optimal way to hype and begin a new season?

Should be a Friday night either a local derby or a double header with a Perth game to follow a 6pm game.

 

[010203]

Same old spuds for the Stars.

[Rob R]

Here in Canberra, people didn't seem to know it was on. Terrible publicity and looking at the team lists, almost no star players outside of Stoinis.
