[hey shorty]

Rashid Khan we love you.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

The Strikers are going to win

Lol, reverse psychology not watching them & they (Rashid) beat up the Heat 2nds.

Crazy system we are in finals contention with 3 wins in 11... not that we are going to be a threat.

 

[Redline]

Rashid Khan we love you.

How good was that.

Thornton (who?) bowls absolute gas

Injury call up for Spencer Johnson

I know Chris Lynn isn't what he used to be, but the pill to get him did so with pure pace.

Very good game for Thornton. Got the early wicket then helped create the scoreboard pressure with some lively bowling.

Rashid gone but Head & Carey back in a week, you never know.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Rashid gone but Head & Carey back in a week, you never know.

Nesser too?

 

[hey shorty]

Nesser too?

Plays for the Heat now I think.

 

[Mego Red]

Plays for the Heat now I think.

Yeah, he does.

Agar seemed a good prospect a year or two back. Had a good Shield season a outlet of years ago. Took wickets for the Strikers albeit went for a few runs. Impact bowler.

Falling back in the pecking order in all formats.

David Grant looked much better filling in for the Heat and is preferred to Agar in the Shield now

I suspect he'll get more games with Franky moving on

When does Rashid announce he’s playing for someone else next year?

Yeah but how many times have you lost the toss and been sent in on a pitch like that only to find it plays really well for batting? I know some of my better scores have been on pitches that looked like that

 

[MarcusP2]

He has a multi year contract and literally just said after the game he loves playing for the Strikers and will be here for the foreseeable future.

So at least a couple of months at least.

Never

Ah good news

 

[hey shorty]

Ah good news

Yeah he wont leave

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

For his own good he should leave

Don't teams get one marquee signing outside the salary cap? Why is our squad so thin?

Or did I just imagine that marquee player rule?

Khawaja to open in Hobart with Head back in the no.5 position. Common sense prevails, Harris just isn't a test cricketer. Boland also under an injury cloud, and could come out for Richo. I'd also rest Starc for Neser but I doubt the selectors drop him for the pink ball test. It was silly not to rest him last test.

If only the selectors has listened to me at the start of the series.

This Cockbain guy might turn out to be a star but Dizzy needs to look outside English Cricket for recruit. The good thing is it won't take much to offer more than Garton.
