BBL 2019/20

We have this habit of talking up our good players when they have bit of success, saying they should be playing for Australia, only to watch their form plummet.

Done it with Weatherald, Lehmann and now watch Jono Wells fail for the rest of the comp!

Harper gets concussed when he trips over and above a fieldsman
Cooper replaces Harper for the concussion rule , seems fair enough
Had Harper done a serious knee or serious shoulder injury or broke a fingernail, he would not have a replacement though

Dont mind the concussion rule, but where do we draw the line ?
Cricket is a team sport
In most or all other team sports, that I know of , there are interchanges and reserves
Yet if you get injured and not concussed in cricket, you cannot be substituted

Not sure anybody ever said Lehman should be playing for Australia, plenty have said he shouldn't be playing for SA and wouldn't be if he had a different last name.

Richard Earle from The Advertiser was continually writing articles pushing Lehmann to play for Australia at the time, he gets fixated on certain players!

Salt dropped first over!!

Last time that happened he made one of his two 50's.

[The Dark Knight]

Strikers in a great position with best two players at the crease now, Salt and Weatherald were smoking them.

Another scintillating 50 from the best in Oz

Helps when you get to face one of the worse overs in the BBL this season!!

How does Stanlake keep getting a game??? Thought Conway had done a better job anyway.

They were apparently favourites to win it

ABDV has never played at a successful T20 franchise

To be fair, Lehmann was in red hot form in the BBL a few years back, the season that he came out with 1 ball remaining and he needed to hit a 6 to win, he had some good innings' either side of that.

I wonder if they take T20 form into consideration when selecting an ODI team?

I wonder if Peter Siddle re-evaluates his decision to step out of the international arena if CA offered him a spot on the ODI or T20 squad?

If you're picking an Aussie short form XI then Wells would have to come into the equation, He'd be pipped by Stoinis, D.Short, S.Marsh and Maxwell though IMO.

Out of Australia's last ODI I'd take out Marnus, Starc, Turner and Agar and have the following line up.

Warner
Finch
Smith
Stoinis
D.Short
Maxwell
Carey
Cummins
Zampa
Siddle
Hazlewood

Pattinson, Lyon, Wells and S.Marsh would make up the squad, we really are lacking in the bowling department.

It does make a little bit of sense when you pull it apart, only a little bit though.

The winner of the 1st vs 2nd goes straight into the GF and the rest of the bullshit is to extract every last dollar out of the public.

Would think Kane Richardson a certainty for this team. And looking to future Jai Richardson from WA worth a go ahead of Siddle.

Future being the operative word, I've often wondered the fascination CA have with Kane, his numbers don't set the world alight, as for Jhye, yes he is a work in progress, seems to be injured a lot, just like most Aussie quicks.
