Lucky he didn't listen to you. :ROFLMAO:
Haha...

I told him about the rain.

He checked bom and said.

"We'll be right."

Then came in at the start of play.

All the while I'm frantically asking questions, looking at BOM, other radars, checking live streams, getting annoyed with Dan and Matt, Fox. Then reversed everything.

Going to miss the Dooley points after the switch, and the Kerr points for benching him. Thems the breaks. Happy to be a Kerr owner. Really good BBL player.

Rejigged Webster back to the original Star I owned in Tom Rogers. Doesn't have the dual position but has a negative BE, just might be a bit of a slower burn with only a BAT role. Getting the trade back and having Sandhu in the pocket has allowed a move back to Rashid. Feel a bit more comfortable with this move given the Heat matchup and chasing points that players like Shadab and Dooley have gotten tonight.

The Sixers look a shadow of themselves this year. Don't look a finals side this year for the first time it seems in forever.

Given he has been bowling medium pace as well as spin in state cricket this year, I reckon they keep giving him a go given the flexibility that provides.
You would think so. Can see Stoinis bowling if he’s ready to bowl though. Would imagine the Stars would want as much depth as possible in that department just to call on options if things aren’t going well.

Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s Webster that misses out. It might be NCN or Wood that is getting taken to the cleaners so they look to a different option.

I don't think we'll see more than 2 from Stoin, he's an accident waiting to happen.

A six just hit against Murphy, I'm really annoyed about not being able to swap Naveed for Dooley, Would be simple enough to have lockout after team announcements made.
Multiple seasons in a row it has been suggested to SC top brass and they just won't entertain it, it's a total non-starter and I honestly have no idea why.

I agree. Zampa also seems to rate him.

Aside from that, I’ve been surprised at people seeing them as mutually exclusive.

Stoinis hasn’t bowled four overs in the Big Bash in almost five years.

Maybe not in the Big Bash, but he did in the World Cup and I'd suggest the Australian team had even more bowling options...
