Post your provisional predictions for Season 12: 1. Vipers Kept most of their first XI from their successful season last year. Maybe their 5th bowler issues could hurt them, but probably not. 2. Pumas Should continue to improve. Only risk may be their lack of good seamers, but it didn't really hurt last season. 3. Allstars Bowling looks gun, but their balance is a worry and their batsmen are getting 'old'. 4. Crusaders The big improvers. Not a lot wrong here, though lack the absolute quality of other sides. 5. Ravens A lot of young players should take the next step up this season. Should be no worse than last season, at least. 6. Stingrays Depth could be a worry here. However, should their youngsters improve they'll surprise. 7. Sticky Wickets Improved massively, but there are reasons why they only won one game last season. Their bowling still feels very weak. 8. Gamblers Something feels wrong here. Their squad doesn't 'train' very hard, and their bowling looks quite weak. 9. Cyclones Appears they have only four players of a decent quality. Will struggle to win many matches. Most runs: Morgan Most wickets: Hunt
Yep, we're heavily reliant on our younger/inexperienced players performing. I'd be surprised if at least two of Tkp, Weeman, Veez, Jager, Rask, Starris, Shiv etc didn't come good at some point this season though.
Ravens under-performed last season and the majority of their players are improving. They'll be better this year and compete for 3rd place. Cyclones will scrape into 7th, Gamblers to spoon.
Saders to get to finals day. Me to have another mediocre season averaging 33. Howe to break into top 15 for bowling and 150 for batting.
