Be interesting to see who Channel Nine would find to commentate though, as they couldn't use their Test guys for a lot of it during Sydney and Melbourne.

But I hope we never, ever have to find out.

The Renegades list has been built around Bravo, they're in some serious strife now.

They already had to rely on an over or two from Cooper to be able to give them some flexibility with the ball, and not be forced into bowling their five specialists for four overs each. They have to replace him as a bowler more than as a bat at the moment, so then you've got Nevill at six and Rimmington at seven - that's a long tail. Be interesting to see who they can call up.

They might have a sneaky crack at getting Trent Lawford back - at least as a bowler he's a chance of maybe getting a quick 20 at the end of the innings. Although it's pretty easy at that level for these guys to stop him hitting to cow, which is his main go to.

If Nine had both I think I might scream. Unless it meant a lot of the Ten guys came over as well.

If Ten and Nine swapped their coverage of competitions, what do they do with their commentary teams? Can imagine a number of them move to Ten. It'll also probably mean the revival of Brett Lee and James Brayshaw at Nine :sick:

Oh jesus I haven't posted about it but having no Brett Lee in the box has been such a blessing.

Any chance that an overseas pro could come in or short notice? What's Brathwaite/Sammy doing?

Matthew Short will probably come in. It is not ideal, but 4 overs out of Short, Cooper, Finch looks possible.

Certainly a big blow though, I had Bravo as my fantasy captain too which is equally devastating.

Lee is worse.

Mark Waugh plays the "old school boofhead" role OK, it's just a worry when he's a national selector.

is that honestly something to get upset about? Everyone knows he means 2006

pretty good commentary from him there too, verbally picked Tim Paine's strengths and weaknesses apart and was proven completely correct over the next 2 deliveries
