Hey boys rank these as starters for tonight - Thornton, Boyce, Allen and Lynn

Allen
Thornton
Lynn
Boyce

Think you will do ok with any of the four though, just how I rank them in terms of upside.

Tempted by Allen but i would need to find 15k to get from Thornton to him so i think ill just stay with what ive got. I am not taking a WKP donut with Seifert on field and Peirson on my bench. My 1 loophole is Salzman who i am using this round to take Connolly's score and will use to loop next round.

It's an interesting team... Not sure there's much cavalry to come through is there? Pope for Neilsen?

Dogget for Bazley, although he might now go back to the test squad with hazlewood injured. Think Abbot is ahead of him though

 

[Dravid]

Where have you been ? 😉

5,000+ mentions of someone called Doggett the last few days 🤗

Kick up the butt for D Short seems a bit tough already

I guess they got Ross for a reason though.

Haven't seen anything more on Buckingham since the practice game so this could be full strength until the Pope arrives.

Perform or you will get dropped

Yeah I'm assuming Doggett is doggone... But thats to be confirmed.

Weathers finished the BBL off well last year and has scored some runs this season so probably not a bad shout.

Looking like they either go Bazley or spin on the power play, assuming they save Overton for the end (maybe 1 in the power play).

Short's opening the bowling isn't he?

 

[madmunza]

Nielson or Wildermuth?

 

[mike89]

Only M Short on field tonight, Konstas and Thornton on the bench.

 

[Darkie]

Nielson or Wildermuth?

W easily

Did he get his chance when Lynn did his hammy ?

Then took it , big Shield century recently (different format)

Always thought he would play for Australia , didn't kick on for a variety of reasons

I have no idea on their PP , surge , death bowlers (got the pen & paper out)

Warner C & b Short 🦆

Don’t like to sound like a broken record, but Allen’s got history bowling with the new ball, with that lineup only have 3 seamers, I’ll be surprised if Allen doesn’t bowl at least one Powerplay over while it is swinging.

Have Doggett in my team at the moment because before the hazlewood injury he was a lock to come in with there extremely weak fast bowling lineup. Hence why i didn;t want Bazely because i think dogget will take his spot. Now with the hazle wood injury i need to decide in 15 minutes if i keep dogget or flick him back to bazely... Striker do play there double on the 20th and 22nd.... boxing day test is obviously not til boxing day so i wonder if theres a chance that even if he is named back in the squad they would let him play both and then join the test squad on the 23rd

Cricinfo has allen as slow left arm orthodox..... is he a medium pacer?

Fabian Allen's recent matches don't inspire much confidence ... :-

Does anyone think Spencer Johnson will be back before Sunday? If so, I might use him as my loop.

The Heat meanwhile will be without star paceman Spencer Johnson who has failed to recover from a toe injury that flared up after bowling 45 overs for South Australia in a Sheffield Shield match last month.
The reigning champions will also be without Australia-capped allrounder Michael Neser who could be sidelined until mid-January with a hamstring injury.
Despite the early challenges to their title defence, leg-spinner Mitch Swepson believes the Heat have options to cover the loss of their star quicks.
"I don't think Spencer's is a major injury so I'm assuming he'll be back sometime in the next couple of games," Swepson said at the MCG today.

But even if he comes back, will he play both of their DGR?
He's pretty fragile.

I read that, but I might take the gamble and at least he should be available for their double then

 

[Tamuhawk]

Matt Short OUT!

 

[T43597]

Damnit

 

[Inside50]

Oops

 

[Old Big 'Ead]

Woohoo!!! For those who don't have M Short. We can now breathe...
