Looks like Bairstow and Pooran will be unavailable...?
Correct. Bairstow gone for the whole tournament. Pooran quoted as saying he’s available from Dec 26. Although that date may be pushed back based on that Honeyball tweet.

Reckon the Stars will be announcing two OS signings shortly. One will be an OS replacement for Pooran and the other will just be a standard OS signing.

Sounds like D Hussain will be one of them.

Far out brussel sprout

That article on Holder says clubs can have up to 6 OS players this season with a maximum of 3 players taking the field in any one match so he , King Carlos , TC & Vince will all be available on the 26 & 29.

Squads are supposed to be 16 local + 2 OS + 1 OS marquee = 19

then replacement players as the name suggests

Who is Holder replacing ?

Maybe the Hurricanes can rotate any of their 5 players at any one time , even if 2 are specified as replacement players 🤔

But why then do some clubs only still have 3 signings ? surely they wouldn't agree that one club has the choice of 5 to pick from any match depending on circumstances/situations

Too confusing

Just make it similar to the IPL (8 available , maximum of 4 allowed to play each game) so 6 and 3 here.

Amazed he is not a regular in the WI T20 Squad.

Not good news for the DC fan club.
It definitely doesn’t help - although if it’s 3 games out of 14 it’s probably not a huge issue. Presumably they were always going to sign someone, albeit Holder is maybe better than most/more like for like with DC.

Presumably we’d be holding Christian for his DGR at least, so if he went through a flat spot price-wise (due to Holder), he may make a bit bat through that period.

Obviously nothing official

I guess that could limit DC's overs and where he bats.

Brathwaite , Christian , Dwarshuis & Holder + 2 spinners.

Bird will be available , Abbott could even be released.

Henriques might even have the bowling bug again.

Assuming Curran is cleared to play ASAP I still can't understand how they can play 3 out of Brathwaite , Curran , Holder & Vince on the 26 & 29.

Makes it hard trying to pick OS players if their is a lack of clarity around when they can and cannot play.

I think I read DHussain was C19 positive so he’d be unlikely to be available until next year you’d think.

No C?

Looks like a good starting side, probably to be expected. I currently have a lot of the same players, and of the ones I do have different, most I'm not entirely happy with.

I'll try and finalise my team this weekend, but I expect I'll end up with the majority of these players in my team too. Guessing a lot will...

Stoinis
Cartwright
Larkin
Maxi
Gotch
Dunk
Zampa
Coulter-Nile
Hinchliffe
Stanlake

............of course that's of Stoinis fits up?

You have any change to this starting 11x ?

No C yet , hoping Mr Short makes the decision for me 😀

Might wait and see how the Manuka wicket plays for the ODI & T20I.

Likely candidate will be Stoinis or Maxy or Zampa

Will need to wait and see who their new OS players are going to be and when they are available.

Currently they have 6 bats available.

Coleman or Morris would be the only change I can see.

If Stoinis doesn't measure up for round 1, ain't that going to put pressure on their batting list.........................and Maxi. With today's 'Bairstow/Pooran' news, the wheels are moving in the wrong way....................hope those signings 'soon' are real goodun's.

Bairstow and Pooran were never a factor for the first 3 games.

They probably will need a LRP for Pucovski & possibly even Maddinson.

Hopefully they give us a update about Thursday week otherwise it will be a mad scramble.
