If Green is out then Qadir will play games and it’s goodbye Farooqi
Their was talk that Jono Cook was going to be their last local signing.

Replacements for Sangha & Warner so maybe they can still look at someone like Fawad as well to provide a few spinning options.

Eskinazi 40 (24)

Agar batting 6 for the main team , maybe they do play 4 + Hatz

du Plessis takes Hobson's spot , but where does that leave the new OS ? probably sign another quick just to confuse things even more 😱

Can you paste the link? Or is it subscriber only?
Subscriber only. "Chris Green is under investigation as of today again for his bowling action. If he doesn’t play, it’ll leave the Thunder without a front line spinner, meaning they may have to pick Usman Qadir. Only three internationals available and they already have Hales and and Rossouw. Monitor news on Green the next few days, because I’m not quite gravitating to any others."

Bancroft/Hobson, Faf, Hardie, Inglis, Turner.

You’d think they’d want another batsman sacrificing one of the quicks or Hatz surely.
Who knows what they will do , not sure why they got Mills when Kelly & Morris both are waiting in the wings.

Jhye probably the only quick that can bat reasonably well in any case , although did I see that Tye made a 50 somewhere recently ? 🤔

Wonder if their is anything more to Hardie not bowling ?

So much confusion and uncertainty around.

What’s the consensus on Lynn atm?

Reason I ask is considering taking him down to Larkin (loop with Wade) and going Green to Matt Short

I'm starting him due to his DGR in round 1. Only needs to have 1 good score out of the 2 games to be worth the punt at his price. I don't want to have him go big (which he can on a night out) and be spewing I didn't take him. If he does well, I'll hold him after roufd 1 as coverage but if not, I'll use him in my trades to get Faf in for round 2.

Another spanner in the works for Thunder bowling line-up with the news on Green. You would think this has an impact on a few players, Qadir plays as their spinner which thus impacts on Farooq not playing which therefore should help players like McAndrew hold their spot. Say Green doesn't play, the other option is they play Farooq still and get some of their spin overs out of Sangha and use Cutting as their 6th bowling option? No certainty on their line-up for any game during their 2 rounds of DGR in rounds 1 to round 2?

Yeah I’m almost at the point now where other than Sams I’m skipping on the Thunder bowlers in general now I think

Really don’t want to with games vs stars, strikers, then gades and Strikers. I want to be taking advantage of that. Green news will be very interesting.
I agree, but it’s really hard to know who’s locked in and who isn’t. As you say though, if Wadir does become the main spinner, then that could potentially be a good thing for someone like Mcandrew as takes away the Farooqi threat
