Now who to captain? Connolly or Allen? Need a POD

Connolly, could have the best role in the comp

 

[Woosie]

Bazley last 4 t20 games 0/40 off 3 overs, 0/57 off 3 overs, 0/42 off 3 overs, and 0/19 off 1 over. He's an absolute spud of a bowler, makes it even more bizarre that they didn't pick doggett. They have just Thornton and Overton as reliable quicks. Wouldn;t be surprised if Bazely gets dropped for Dogget next game.

totally agree. I was bringing in Doggett, but nearly missed locket by about 3 mins. Went Bazley

 

[Dravid]

Interesting decision for Perth to go 7-4, after being 6-5 forever. Maybe this is the new rotation strategy for them?

 

[Old Big 'Ead]

Connolly, could have the best role in the comp

Allen scored 137 not out in Jan this year, so I am going Allen go be a super POD.

Connolly.

 

[Slacker]

Trade Abbott or Tye...

Originally had Abbott out but can reverse him back in to get Tye out.

Reckon they're possibly setting up for Jhye out Tye in for the second game of the round.

Connolly, could have the best role in the comp

For this game... Not sure how long it's going to last (especially with Hardie on the horizon, although seems he'll be bat only for a while longer).

 

[Shannon]

Have Short VC with his 62 first game on the double

Tempted to put the C on Connolly …

 

[Herbie66]

Stick to the plan even if it is in disarray

Abbott - > Connolly via Edwards

HH - Doran (C)

PS - Connolly , Richardson (hope for 2 games) , Turner , Tye (hope the old war horse returns and this isn't a sign)

Named Squad of 14 , you would think they would have flown Beardman , Fanning & Jackson over as well given they might lose Inglis & Richardson for the Renegades game.

Be careful , don't want to get warned again

Losing interest so Tye out , Sabba back in

I thought he wasn’t back until after Christmas/bowling until Jan, but that may have changed.

Certainly better than an overseas batsmen who only does one thing either way!

 

[mike89]

Oh wow, didn't see Tye out coming!

That becomes a phenomenal role for Connolly, but I'm still not taking on 60 + game in hand for Tall Short

 

[Darkie]

Have Short VC with his 62 first game on the double

Tempted to put the C on Connolly …

Same. If I knew they’d repeat this structure I’d probably do it.

 

[Herbie66]

Me too. Picked him in my original side for this exact reason. Combined with a crap round 1, it has certainly backfired. I have decided to set up for next round and bring Abbott in.

You do realise Abbott will join be joining the Test Squad so may not be available for Round 3 ?

 

[Melmo]

Struggling to decide whether to take Short’s score or jump to Conolly

 

[Dravid]

Brad says it's a used pitch and it's dry... May not exactly come on to the bat.

 

[Dravid]

Last I saw was no bowling until January, but they were talking about him as a bat only earlier than that.

Not sure if that's changed though.

 

[Melmo]

Short has managed to scrape a 40 and a 60 from games going low with the bat. Just needs a decent batting performance next game to go big

 

[nmh94]

Right, no I missed that, thank you. I'll make sure that is changed before tonight's match!

 

[Shaunpro1]

Id still be going Short if I had him personally, just think when you're taking him on you should captain the bloke thats got basically the identical role.

 

[Woosie]

Allen scored 137 not out in Jan this year, so I am going Allen go be a super POD.

There is no doubt Allen will want to out score Seifert and Munro.
