This is a good rule.

Nope, because they had very superficial knowledge of South African players it seems... Don't think Ruan de Swardt or Mihlali Mpongwana were signed either...Did any teams sign up beyers swaenpool?
Royals have a good team. Roy, Jones, buttler, van Burren, Adams vilas and Bosch is a top 7 that picks itself and Ngidi, shamsi, fortuin and McCoy is a solid 4 man unit. Batting down to 8 with fortuin aswell. Only issue is Bosch as the 3rd seamer. Anyone know if Jones can bowl upfront ala Washington Sundar?Paarl Royals: David Miller (C), Jason Roy, Mitchell Van Buuren, Evan Jones, Eoin Morgan, Wihan Lubbe, Ferisco Adams, Codi Yusuf, Jos Buttler, Dane Vilas, Obed McCoy, Corbin Bosch, Lungi Ngidi, Tabraiz Shamsi, Bjorn Fortuin, Imran Manack, Ramon Simmonds
Only real thing I could think of was weather... if they only need to pick the team before going on then if weather intervenes between toss and play it could make a difference. Also maybe bat first vs chasing might change things...I dunno why you'd have a 13 man squad lined up and then pick the 11 based on the toss, so I don't think it'll change anyhting. In a test match, maybe you change the bowling attack a bit depending on conditions, or maybe you play a more defensive bat if you're put in. But in a T20? It's not like the pitch is changing in 90 minutes' time.
It could be that they're testing it out here with a view to see whether there's any merit in trying it in other formats, even if I don't know how well you can judge its success since I agree that it's not going to have a huge impact in T20s.I dunno why you'd have a 13 man squad lined up and then pick the 11 based on the toss, so I don't think it'll change anyhting.

Mccoy pulled out due to injury.Royals lineup looks better but starting the raymond guy over mccoy feels weird with both being windies internatiols, also no idea why there not playing one of bosch or jones, both are better cricketers than wihan lubbe.
Smashed in his second over by butler and Roy.Archer not injured yet, and Oh he took a wicket.
Some problem with Livingstone.What on earth is this mumbai batting lineup? Poetgieter-Curran-Linde as the 5 6 7 in a t20 batting lineup is filthy. Especially when you have liam ****ing livingstone sitting on the bench.
