YTD 6-3...I dont know what the f##ck that was last night, but it wasnt a cricket match. Hurricanes simply didnt turn up. I have noticed t20 is a little like that, teams not turning up.
Tonight we have arguably the worst cricket team i have probably seen v a good side in the strikers.
If i was the Thunder, i wouldnt open with Gayle. It seems that if he gets out early, the rest of the teams confidence falls through the heep. I would bat him around 5-6, that will give confidence to the rest of the batters above him knowing he still has to bat.
And why on earth does chris Rogers bat 5? By the time he gets in, the field is out, is he going to clear the boundary? And why does abbot bat so low? No wonder this team cant win a game, managament have NFI what they are doing. If Rogers is in the team, have him open. He can face the new ball and he can find gaps with the field is up and he can clear the 30 metre circle. Thats where you have him. The bowling is....Nannes is good, i rate Mahmood, Doran was the most economical last year and Tremain is ok. They have a better bowling lineup that Brisbane IMO.
Tait is back for the Strikers, like Gayle, he could be anything.
Strikers at $1.80 look like good value. Botha has given Gayle fits in the past...Most off spinners do early in the game, he gets out LBW alot...Maybe 1st wicket method LBW @ $5 is good value.
Usman is also out. Strikers are a good all round team.
Anyways, like always, wait for the toss.
