Jackson Bird? Only one of the brightest fast bowling prospects in the country. Maybe as good as anyone on his day. I am trying to fit him in my team right now.

Ok popey. Ya weren't happy about my Shane warne joke but help me out here anyway. Which two.
1.Hopes as my all round cover and putland/cutting as my 4th bowler or
2. Obrien as all roun cover and bird as my 4th bowler ?

No Maxwell?

Maxwell is in the Chairmans XI so cannot play first game. Got 91 off 77 for them though

Def Hopes, Cutting and Putland. Definitely. Hopes may turn not the biggest cash cow of the tournament and Putland and Cutting are on fire. But Bird is an absolute gun and should be tried to be fit into most teams.

while putland is on fire in the other forms of cricket he is quite expensive at times in t20 and remember that darren berry builds t20 teams around spin. With Richardson and Tait in the strikers line up, possibly neser and pollard, this might see Putland on the outer. Richardson Tait, Pollard, Neser, Botha, Ajmal are all bowling options

Ajmal is only there for one game because Pollard (I think) isn't playing first up. Saw it on the news the other day.

Bird, Putland and Cutting - if you had to pick 2 who would you get?

[Clyde Frog]

Does anyone know how many games Azhar Mahmood will be playing?

[Popey99]

Bird, Putland and Cutting - if you had to pick 2 who would you get?

Look, probably all three! I would say Cutting and Bird, just because they are both a little more proven in this form, but don't get me wrong, Putland is great value. Another thing, Cutting has the Scorchers (a rabble!!) and Putland has the Hurricanes (one of the strongest batting lineups, so much so that Blizzard may struggle to get a game).

I'd go Bird and Cutting, like Popey said, they're a better chance for games/points than Putland.

Yeah, he'll miss the first, but I'll be looking to get him in after that as I think he should slot straight into the Stars XI.

Just so everyone knows, no Pakistani players will be playing Big Bash as the PCB has withdrawn them from the competition. Also Dale Steyn will not play any games as the South African Board has withdrawn him also to play domestic in South Africa.
