Strikers to be eliminated

 

[Nathan Barley]

Strikers will win this. No way Evans can hit brilliant bowling at a striker rate of over 300 and Morris rip through a strong batting line-up two times in a row

I'm probably biased because I go for the Scorchers...but part of why we're so successful is we 'generally' don't need the same people to perform each time, someone else tends to step up. Time will tell of couse!

Sorry it was tongue in cheek. Someone in the thread for the last game thought we bowled really well

 

[NYRB]

Id be tempted to move Laurie Evans up the order given what he did against them last game . Maybe move Whiteman down to 5 .

This is Little League after the Test day

 

[THE A5]

He’s a specialist late order hitter. Those guys are harder to come by than anyone else. Plus we are carked if we find our self in an early collapse

 

[NYRB]

Adelaide dont have destiny to make the Finals in their own hands even if they win their remaining 4 games in a row.

Need a favour but first things first they need the W tonight to keep chances alive.

 

[madjoe]

how is pope in the team lol ?

 

[010203]

According to BJ, Ollie Pope is playing for the Strikers. It's the red-headed leg spinner Lloyd Pope who's playing instead.

 

[dogs105]

2 spinners. No Manatee

 

[dogs105]

how is pope is the team lol ?

Do you mean "how does he get a game?", or "when did he join the squad?"

 

[Moonwatcher]

Thought it pitched outside leg

 

[dogs105]

I've tipped the Strikers tonight. Should make a difference to the outcome.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Hit the glove?

 

[Moonwatcher]

lol we've had one ball in 2 minutes

 

[dogs105]

Thought it pitched outside leg

I didn't. But that's because I don't have Kayo at the moment

 

[Moonwatcher]

The ball tracking was available before the snicko

 

[Moonwatcher]

lol

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Ball bouncing that high is simply unbelievable.

 

[010203]

Surely it's not going over by that much?! It may have hit Crawley's thumb anyway.

 

[Moonwatcher]

This is why Short should take the first over not the second
