I suppose it's close enough.

I heard that instead of the coin toss this year they're doing the bat toss. Could be interesting, I think flats happens slightly more often so probably just call that.

I don't remember what I always did. It's been a while.

Supposedly they have specially crafted bats that land 50/50 either side.

Hills ftw.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Are they cutting costs by not using coins?

With today's bats I'd call "edges"

Some new captains this year.
Lynn for Heat, Maxwell for Stars and Wade for Hurricanes

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Strikers lineup looking fairly well settled, may not see a great deal of Head throughout the season due to national duties but I think Matt Short is a handy addition, was striking it well in his limited Renegades appearances last season and can contribute useful offspin as well. Bowling attack has plenty of variety to it, Laughlin to change things up, Siddle brings experience and reliability, Billy Stanlake is quick and hostile and Rashid Khan is arguably the best T20 spinner going around

I want to know why on earth the Hurricanes would sign David Moody.

Thunder looks like they will fall away once Root and Buttler have to leave. Then we'll have the pleasure of Patterson striking at 95 through half an innings.

Brisbane have finally gotten rid of Gannon. It's been long enough.

Net bowler to get the batsmen's confidence up

The Heat have such a stacked batting lineup.

BMac
Lynn
Bryant/ Ross
Heazlett
Labuschagne
Burns
Pierson
Pattinson
Steketee
Kuhneneman/Rahman
Swepson

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Question is whether they've had any fielding practice this year.

 

[TheJediBrah]

BMac, Lynn and Bryant would be hax

I'd open with Bryant and have Lynn at 3 though

 

[GoodAreasShane]

About time. His bowling action makes me want to vomit

 

[Starfighter]

I wonder if the catching's going to be less abysmal this year? Granted I've wondered that every year.

I saw Pierson and thought it was Pietersen

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Certainly a strong lineup, but tbh I'm not keen on Burns that low down. Didn't really work during the 50 over stuff, he's never struck me as the sort of batsman who can blast off from ball one
