What a way to end a joke of a match. Yep, I picked Hobart to win in a double points week for the BBL tipping comp but it's a joke that the Stars have all 10 wickets in hand when they start while the opposition have bowling and fielding restrictions. What a farce.
They had a significant increase in RRR as a result. Any larger total would have belied their bowling effort.

100% agree. The run rate went up less than 1.5 what a ****ing joke. They wouldn’t have been swinging their bats as hard if there was only 1 more wicket left which is exactly how many they should’ve had to be fair.

67/7=9.57
156/20=7.8

Go back to school
 
Less than 1.5? A grand total of about 10 extra runs despite the full complement of wickets.
As I pointed out, 9.57-7.8=1.77

Your maths is wrong.
 
The Stars still have 2 games v Renegades and another game against Hurricanes to come. Be interesting to see who comes in for the Pakistani duo, although unsure why they have to leave so early???

Prep for the ODI’s

T20 series against the Kiwi's starting the 12th
 
Which is ridiculous given the test side still has another game so they should be able to play at least until end of Test!

They are having some sort of mini camp. Thunder have lost our only good bowler too
 
Did Maxy say they had another signing to replace Mir? Wonder who.

Also cricinfo is acting as if the Tom Rogers for the Stars is the Renegades one.
 
tough. they should have cleared all that before they drafted them.

Yeah no way should BBL be favoured over internationals as annoying as it is.

But it’s not favouring BBL over internationals, it’s letting them play whilst the tests are still on, none of those players will be in the camp.

But Rauf was only a late signing anyway, one they probably assumed would be available until the end of the tests. I did think they always had someone else coming in January but can’t remember who?
 
The Stars wouldn't be half bad if they found a bowler or two, Paris seemingly always goes for 1-36 and they'll have to go to Steketee to replace Rauf and he's not much better.
Think Olly Stone is their replacement for Rauf
 
Stars best side from here probably something like:

Rogers
Harper
Webster
Maxwell
Cartwright
Wasim
Stoinis
Coulter-Nile
Dawson (or their Mir replacement)
Paris
Stone
