Agree about Bailey. He deafinitely should not be in the team even if he is a decent batsmen. He bowled absolutely pathetic last night, every ball was half way down the pitch. Bailey just asks to be belted when he bowls tbh. I think Putland can do a job though with the ball providing he doesn't open the bowling, he will prosper if he comes on at about the 6th over and bowls that really full length at good pace. He has shown he can do a really good job doing that.
I'd have George in the team myself, him and Tait can open the bowling.

Don't expect anything smart from the SA selectors.

To be fair, which WI side can cope with a bouncy pitch? Trinidad's a good side, but they probably only did well, because they played in the CL when it was on Indian pitches....
Until we in the West Indies go back to preparing bouncy pitches, i.e. at Bridgetown and Kingston, we're forever going to be languishing in the bottom half of the rankings.

Eagerly awaiting Victoria's first game.
The bowling has few issues, probably the strongest T20 bowling line-up in the tournament. They key to winning some games is for the batsmen to place some good targets. Victoria struggled in the Big Bash last season with the usual performers like Hodge, Hussey and White not in the greatest of touch. It wasn't until Finch showed some class that Victoria looked a good team again.
Too many unknowns going into this tournament. Wade struggled opening the batting last season, Quiney is seriously overrated as a T20 batsmen and Maxwell is unproven. One of those guys will need to match the output of Finch for Victoria to do well. I don't want to be left in the situation of only being able to cheer the South Australians on.

Hmmm, good mate told me to load up on the Vics at the innings break because of the dew and Warriors having two spinners. Lucky for me I had withdrawn all my money from my betfair account so couldn't bet.
May have saved me a bit of dough, because it's going to be tough for the Vics.
