Can we not keep recruiting Pom spuds

The poms turned a perth lad into a spud

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Bancroft looks better than anybody else who’s been opening this year tbh

Remember when the BBL had elite overseas players? Now the overseas recruits are Ross Whiteley and Adam Lyth.

Hopefully the shortened BBL seasons ahead coincide with the visiting test teams playing BBL after their tour ends

A crime that he was left out for Lyth

Lyth's nickname should be Sunk Cost Falacy

 

[Agent93]

Scorchers in front after 9 overs. Well batted Bangers.

Man Hardie’s ball striking has really improved. Pretty excited about what he could become if he keeps getting better.

Turned a corner 18 months ago. I used to give him flak a lot but I thought he was like 24 like 2 years ago

 

[SloppyJoe]

Who needs Faf, Agar, Marsh, Evans, Salt, Jhye, et al

Edit: And Sabburg

 

[THE A5]

Didn’t need that wicket at all

I think his batting is better than his bowling

And Hobson.

 

[Agent93]

Getting a bit sick of the constant Sixers comments.

 

[Agent93]

Esky on the fence. Surprised Stephen hasn't been around to assess it yet.

 

[Agent93]

And that's game.

 

[squashface]

Killed them.

Unlike this board to assume defeat well before it is possible to actually predict it.

 

[Barrybran]

Good knock by Bancroft. Nice to see the top end fire.

If it comes together for him he could be a poor man’s Cam Green, which would be pretty damn good considering that Cam Green’s the best all rounder that Australia has seen in a generation and, after the IPL auction, is now a very wealthy man.

Could very well be Cams competition in the test side as well. Same age as him to

 

[Tugga27]

Great win by the boys after deciding to chase.

Thought we might be in trouble.
Banners and Hardie in form makes a huge difference.

Agar next game in for Connolly I imagine.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

And Hobson.

I have still yet to figure out what Hobson brings. At least Lyth has played well at times overseas. Hobson is a local guy who has very little potential for the future, he doesn’t bowl, and he only bats above the bowlers.

 

[Truckosaurus]

I do, I'm not expecting a huge total if they bat first so put the pressure on Brisbane to decide when they have to go against some good bowlers.

Intel

 

[KBLT]

Banners and Hardie were both very impressive.

Good signs.

He’s a pretty good fielder
