There's an entire middle order who are on the precipice of having a career or not. And they all batted like that's what they were concerned with.

Either fighting over who got the token rapid 60* in an easy chase, or paralysed with the fear of being seen as the one to **** it up.
 
I also thought they took the surge too late, should have gone 12th over when they had the two in for a while and had Overton next in. Leaving it late put too much pressure on them to try and put a huge dent in the total when they could have had the instructions of getting 24 out of the two overs; that would have put the pressure back on PS

We are playing a batsman short.

Didn't even use 2 bowling options last night.

They still nominally bat down to 9. Ideally you wouldn't have two genuine #11's in the side, but it happens.

That said, if Manenti isn't going to bowl then he shouldn't be in the side on form. I'm sure Alex Ross or Thomas Kelly can just bat normally instead

Back home tomorrow. Anyone going?

So Hassan Ali is back... Shamsi out. Strange, I assumed that Ali must have headed off somewhere.

I guess that Ross will replace Manenti
The whole Ali/Shamsi thing is completely weird.

The only rational explanation I can think of is that they must have kept him around for when Wood/Overton leave. But that isn't until the finals (assuming Adelaide qualify)

Hes a decent cricketer, theres players like him in every team.

Its a league whereby if your imports and local stars dont fire you dont win.
He's clarified as an import though.

Manenti is not an import by the BBL rules. He's an Australian citizen, it would be illegal to treat him as one.
Check out the playing XI on cricinfo.

He's classified as an import.

Lol, illegal. It's a CA classification system. He plays internationally for Italy.
