Big Bash: Please don't mention the Manenti in the room

[Cap]

Wtf did the Thunder elect to bat 1st?

Thanks Green as we are capable of chasing anything down.

Good return to form by Weatherald.

When is the last time Pope took 4 in any format for us.

 

[spenze]

Pope just needs to keep his variations going, they weren't picking him

 

[FR0GGY]

Chris Lynn who?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

We lose Hose and Overton now I think but can bring in replacement imports.

I know we've used Ian Cockbain in the past. Pretty sure he's in Aus playing club cricket.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Been a very unfamiliar experience watching us methodically close out games

You mean him bowling wronguns every ball lol.

I couldn't watch the game, but did he have any variations tonight? A big reason why he hasn't come along yet is because he's been a one-trick pony only bowling wrong-uns and he got found out pretty quickly. He seems to be dominating for Kensington now though so maybe he's worked on some variations a bit.

He was getting wickets with wronguns.

Cleaned up the tail with wrong'uns. 3 bowled in 4 balls

His last 3 were but he was bowling to tailenders, what do you think the one to Hales was?

Didn't Boyce get Hales with a leg break delivery. An important wicket too

As a SA product I just hope he can make it to be at least a good quality state spinner

Why do we lose them?
We would have lost Rashid and lose Lynn too?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Don't know as didn't see whole game.

He was bowling all wronguns when I was watching... including all 3 wickets in an over.

 

[Cap]

Surely the upside here as well, we can finally just not like David Warner

 

[spenze]

Boyce and Pope, practically twins, can't tell them apart.

He did get Ross out, which was handy

Strange that these T20 leagues can't align themselves so there is no crossover... particularly when have players miss finals to play in non-finals in another league.

Overton will be a huge loss as been one of our best 2 players & only decent all-rounder.

Do we have replacements?

Has Wes Agars played a match yet? I also think Henry Hunt is in the squad.

Agar played 2-3 early games... I would play him ahead of the other import... who I gather we get to keep the one who isn't performing.

Bazely probably needs to come in for Overton, with the Shorts bowling more.

I think Hunt is the only other batting option, but not really suited to middle order/late hitting.

 

[The Perfect Stranger]

Love this competition but some of the commentary seriously sucks.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

The Fox commentary certainly. It sounds like a pub discussion.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

So our finals side likely to be something like...

1 M Short
2 D Short
3 Weatherald
4 Kelly
5 Hunt
6 Bazeley
7 Nielsen
8 Agar (please not Payne)
9 Thornton
10 Boyce
11 Pope

Significantly weaker.

Yep, I'd go with something like that. I think we will.pick Payne though. Bazely gets a game because he can bat.

Others available are Kaan, Manenti and Doggert.

Don't know much about Kaan, except that he is an all-rounder, so gather he may be a chance.
