Yeah it's a fair point. Not saying he should be a definite starter, but just really surprised he hasn't been an impact player at the very least

I'm not too hot on Rabada now in T20s itbt. Seems to have regressed and become quite hittable in this format. Think Ellis is a better option than him
Impact rule is set up so you can't sub in an overseas player when you already have 4 in the side AFAIK, even for another overseas player. Otherwise you'de probably sub him out for bairstow.

On another note, the last few games have shown what happens when you go too hard batting first on tracks that are not featherbeds. And a lot of discussion has been about home advantage but its really been all about the toss advantage. At Vizag, teams batting first seem to have a clear advantage - same in Lucknow, and in most others batting second seems to be more favorable, esp. with the dew. Even the RCB game, there were clear signs the pitch got a lot better to bat on with more dew out there in the second inning.

I mean Nitish going hard let Samad settle in quicker. If anything this just validates aiming for hitting over singles/dots.

Seriously why would you not play Rahul Chahar and not bowl Sikandar Raza when Brar clearly was not having a good day.

Good job dropping Nitish as well, Punjab. :laugh:
