Not sure if we replace Doolan, or grab another bowler

Even a international specialist fielder would be fine by me after tonight

I think ideally they want a batsman.

Short has scored runs all 3 games.

Wade has scored runs 2/3 games.

Can't do that all tournament.

Then again I guess they just need to get the best player available whatever they are as there probably isn't a lot out there at short notice.

Listen to Paine, grab Rishabh Pant.

 

[Hamingja]

Listen to Paine, grab Rishabh Pant.

He is definitely Tassie's type

Can never have enough keepers...

 

[Danger in Texas]

Listen to Paine, grab Rishabh Pant.

Can’t, not allowed to get Indian players

Wonder what Eoin Morgan is up to

 

[Hamingja]

In before Alex Hales or Michael Lumb or someone like that.

Oh god help me if it’s Hales, was fed up with him after his first Hobart stint

 

[Hamingja]

He got about 4 seasons of big bash based on one knock for the renegades.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Mark Cosgrove is technically an overseas player...

Almost as bad as Pollard continually rocking up despite doing SFA.

What about Kevin O'Brien?

Pretty sure Ireland's tour of Afghanistan starts in early Feb

Pretty sure Ireland's tour of Afghanistan starts in early Feb

Can't be the case seeming Khan and Nabi are here the whole tournament.

Looks like Ireland have some sort of T20 series in Oman.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Evin Lewis? An opener I know, but surely Wade can be moved to 3

 

[Blues_Man]

Wouldn't have brought Bailey in, he usually tends to be a slow starter.
Thunder now in control with two new batsmen, which is unfortunate for my tipping.

And thats why you aren't captain

 

[Blues_Man]

Good game. Hurricanes did it slightly easier than I thought.

Those couple of free hits really turned the match

Thunder were lucky the Canes had a very very ordinary night in the field ..otherwise the game would have ended a lot earlier.

 

[MJG14]

Yep, not a good call in hindsight. Although there was some putrid bowling.

Hurricanes fielding was worse

Don't forget that the BPL starts and finishes during the BBL so there'll be a heap of professional T20 players would rather go there and earn more money in a shorter time than coming here

 

[Hamingja]

The Bangladesh Premier League? Even if you got more money who would prefer to go there...

Lamicchane for one, aparently

He would be used to the poverty though. I'd be surprised if western players preferred to go there.

Look at the squads - https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-series/2772/bangladesh-premier-league-2019/squads

There's a few English, West Indian and South African internationals signed up. Steve Smith and David Warner are both going too

What, do you think they're staying in a shanty town?

 

[Hamingja]

What, do you think they're staying in a shanty town?

Nope but can't exactly stroll down to the beach or hit the cafes or go out and cut a swathe through the local lasses. Basically just be confined to your hotel prison and let out to play cricket.
