Season 2: T20 Trophy (Discussion Thread)

[Scrads]

Chris Lynn DGW as captain. If this doesn't do it for me, nothing will haha.

[Nige]

So I just noticed my brain fade in not making Peirson captain...

Not playing Dre is working out.

[Nige]

KP with a sore groin and not fielding. :(

[Nige]

Do we get Braithwaite to replace Dre?

[fanTCfool]

I'd agree to that if the Gades would hurry up and name a replacement for Bravo who we can claim.

[PowerBug]

Do we get Braithwaite to replace Dre?

Nope :(

*but something to ponder for future seasons maybe?*

Haha I knew that wasn't the case but thought I'd try my luck. :P

I think it's the fair thing to do for any player during the T20 trophy (obviously provided the replacement isn't already on a list which is unlikely).

If there wasn't a case this season where a player and his replacement were already on lists then I'd consider it :) (Chris Jordan is Adil Rashid's replacement)

[Nige]

Lynn's murdering us.

[PowerBug]

Might start updating now. By the time I finish the game will be over :)

[fanTCfool]

Very pleased with our double game boys, Wilder captain put up a nice score and Swepson was great, hopefully enough for our first W of the year.

Ladder


Round 5 Fixtures
SA Wombats vs NSW Platypuses
WA Swans vs V Possums
ACT Cockatoos vs Q Koalas
T Devils vs NT Kangaroos

So the scores are still rolling for the Swans, as they just edge past the Wombats to make it 4 from 4 and remain the only undefeated team. We say goodbye to the Koalas now who mathematically can't make it, the Wombats are hanging on by a thread and will need all 4 remaining Group A matches to go their way. The Cockatoos go down to the Devils, who were helped by captain McCullum. But the performance of the week is that of Chris Lynn (Platypuses C). 262 points went a long way to a win over the Possums, puts them back in top 2 contention and closed the % gap, which could be the decider in two rounds time. No break, Round 5 starts tomorrow with Strikers vs Hurricanes.

I'd like to thank the Heat selectors for not doing something stupid like naming Peter Forrest so I could bank Short's 92  :P
