arun finch disagrees

Well yeah, they have to use him or Cooper, but it doesn't work.

 

[NUFAN]

Finch and Cooper are perfectly reasonable 6th and 7th bowlers. Realistically if one bowler gets smashed in an over I don't think it necessarily means he won't do well again. I would be looking at bringing in Beaton ahead of Ferguson btw. Ferguson is one of those SR 110 max, type of players.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Nah, last year in the finals you had Shane Watson/Jacques Kallis, and Marcus Stoinis as the sixth bowler, with Dave Hussey the seventh. Hussey's a far better bowler than either Cooper or Finch. The Scorchers ended up underbowling Agar a lot, as well as Ashton Turner - the best sides have a proper bowling option as a sixth bowler; it allows them more flexibility when things go wrong.

Easy for Qld, SA, & Tas & WA fans, but how do NSW & Vic fans decide which of the franchises from their states to cheer for?

I've always wondered that myself as they're plastic teams. Do you just go, ''yes I choose that one'', or throw a coin?

NSW there's at least marketing/location differences, Sixers clearly represent the eastern part of Sydney, Thunder the west.

Victoria, not sure. Guess the players that play for them I guess?

 

[S.Kennedy]

I read that the two Sydney and Melbourne teams have been purposely demarcated between 'establishment' and 'rebel'. One is more establishment and 'star heavy' - family friendly perhaps - whereas one is supposed to be more, ehh, Ned Kelly-esque.

 

[Burgey]

Noted outlaws and anti-establishment figures Mike Hussey and Jacques Kallis of the Sydney Thunder no doubt agree with this.

 

[Spikey]

nair cruelly left out of the thunder squad, meaning he can't prove he's the best nair in world cricket for at least another week

 

[Burgey]

Has to be said the surf at Pipeline for the quarterfinals of the Masters is rubbish right now.

Nothing at all to do with cricket, but I cbf going to the general sport subbie.

 

[Spikey]

Bbl07 to feature a surf park imo

Big Bash 2016 on iOS is great fun.

Okay, I thought it would have just been a case of who their fav players play for, or as S Kennedy said, toss of a coin.

 

[GirtBySea]

I think this will finally be Melbourne's year. The champions will be the ones who wear red and this will be a red year .

Yeah outdoes Stick Cricket. Would be good to have a feature where you only bat though.

I like red more than green but I'm not from Melbourne.

 

[Spikey]

Roy, Hughes, Henriques (c), Haddin (wk), Billings, Botha, O'Keefe, Abbott, Dwarshuis, Mennie, Bollinger
Patterson, Gibson, Morgan, Rohrer (c), Russell, Doran (wk), Green, Cummins, McKay, Sandhu, Ahmed

i'm not saying everything depends on morgan and cummins, because russell is also the other good player in the team

 

[TheJediBrah]

That Thunder batting line-up is cringeworthy

 

[Gnske]

That's an odd way of spelling Clint "I have a hat-trick in ODIs you know, in a loss though" McKay

 

[Spikey]

patterson often looks rubbish in t20, but at least he won't be embarrassed by hogg this time

"clint mckay isn't really that good"
"but but but odi player of the year!!"
*mckay disappears from team*
