What a finish as well.

Connor Sully is a Queenslander, get him in the Heat side next season!

Connor Sully is also a total gun.

Sully
Sangha
Fraser-McGurk

These guys will play a lot for Australia in coming years.

They looked dead and buried when I went to bed.
Harvey looked good from what I saw.

 

[Browny]

Made even better because it’s against England

Best T20 team from that squad -

1. Finch (c)
2. Warner
3. Wade / Marsh
4. Smith
5. Maxwell
6. Carey
7. Abbott / Agar
8. Cummins
9. Starc
10. J.Richardson

100% agree. We're a far, far more dangerous outfit when Maxwell is in the lineup. Great to see him back and hopefully he kills it.

 

[Sproj]

Best side I reckon would be:

T20
1. Warner
2. Finch (c)
3. Smith
4. Marsh
5. Maxwell
6. Wade
7. Carey (wk)
8. Starc
9. Cummins
10. J.Richardson/Abbott
11. Zampa/Agar

ODI
1. Warner
2. Finch (c)
3. Wade
4. Smith
5. Maxwell
6. Marsh
7. Carey (wk)
8. Starc
9. Cummins
10. J.Richardson
11. Agar/Zampa

Banton re-signs with the Heat for two more seasons. Hopefully he continues to improve and can play entire seasons going forward.

(No thread for general Heat/BBL stuff, only the yearly season ones)

Yay.

It's confirmed he'll be playing the whole BBL season for the next 2 years (as I've been begging for), probably means we won't be seeing AB again, but meh, I'd rather a fulltime international bowler to pair with our fulltime international batsman anyway... Not sure Mujeeb or Zahir are the answers though..

None of our internationals played the full season, which was just one of the issues this year (even though Zahir I think was still available after Mujeeb came down). I’m more sold on Zahir than Mujeeb, but that’s from only a handful of games for each.

no chance to properly balance out the bad games hurt them all

I think they need to up it to up to 3 internationals per XI going forward.

 

[Unbreakable]

I think they need to up it to up to 3 internationals per XI going forward.

Yeah, agree. The BBL has grown enough now that we can do 3x Internationals per team. It's not like we have an overwhelming amount of talent that would be missing out.. Have a look at some of the plodders playing in the penultimate game tomorrow night.. Jay Lenton, Brendan Doggett, Nathan McAndrew, Nick Larkin, Clint Hinchliffe, Seb Gotch..

There's probably an argument for 4 internationals per side like the IPL.

 

[Unbreakable]

I reckon Lara could still be playing test matches, what a weapon.

Keen to see how old boy Akram is gonna bowl

 

[Allo]

Should’ve been one over per player, bat and bowl. Give everyone a go

No doubt about it after seeing that. He'd still be easily one of the best Batsmen eligible for the West Indies.

Darcy Short? The guy who has barely hit anything for about 12 months? I don't like Stoinis (he's too beautiful) but come on, either him or Wells should be in for sure.
