So much depends on the Rebels top 3/4 here imo. If the Canes take early wickets the game could be all but over early on. Hartley at 5 is very optimistic, though it isn't a bad 7/8/9 to have who could capitilise on a sound start from the top order.
Looking over this again, I'd go as far to say the Rebels actually have a much stronger batting line up than the Canes. True, they lack a proper middle order, but they more than make up for that with a much stronger top 3, and a 7, 8, 9 that could probably bat much further up the order in this form of the game. Too much, however, rests on the eratic Mitchell Johnson for firepower, and essentially wickets, with the pill. If the new opening pair of Keereeveezee & Gibbs can see out the new ball, it should be plain sailing for the rest of the line up until the only real strike weapon returns to the popping crease. If Tendulkar can stride to the wicket with some sort of start on the board from the previous bats, there could certainly be some carnage offered.
