M Owen, N Ellis, R Meredith, N Chaudhary, B Webster and G Maxwell to come
hopefully, they all play as I don't have backup thanks to the rained-out match at the SCG
5/439 (Short). I have dropped off H Manenti's 3, as I rolled the dice on him over E Rogers' 30.
Aside from that yesterday went pretty well. New recruit Johnson wasn't outstanding but Short was excellent, new recruit Hardie decent and Renshaw very good. 6 to come in the final game today. Can update one trade if someone is unexpectedly rested.
I reckon don’t even worry about the pitch, worry about the XI picked! Serious chances of players being rested. Meredith at the top of the list. Wouldn’t even be surprised if Owen was given a rest personally.
I’m quietly hoping for Chaudhary to be rested so I can trade Maxwell back in, but that’s a pipe dream.
He didn't open the last two games (bitter double round VCer here) so I find it unlikely it will happen tonight. Especially given Jewell did quite well in their last game.
Re Hobart batting order, McDermott named to bat 4 every game he has played this bbl
Every game Wade and McDermott have played together this bbl Wade has opened.
Wade opening obviously has appeal vs him batting at 5 or 6.
