    We're a bowler short here so it's a tough game. Hope we can pull off a win.

    We've been a bowler short all season, so here we're down by three.

    Both sides exactly the same in terms of balance. Not sure why the odds are so stacked against the stars?

    Billy returned to the forum briefly so it's bound to coincide with a decent knock from his player.

    Surprised his player has held up as well as it has. I can't remember him ever being active.

    Welker vs Bradford as spin options...

    He got dropped last season IIRC and was averaging around the low 30's for a little while. So it's not like he's been good all the time despite being inactive.

  12. Himannv LV Himann

    Yeah, he's surprisingly good this season. I felt his performances coincided with his brief return to the forum.

  13. Frizzed WC Welker

    Agreed.

    Allstars look full strength to me.

    Looking through the stats the form of the Allstars middle order is appalling. Might have something to do with it.

  15. Cribbage RG Cribb

    There's also the fact that Emm and Davis are out...

    :lol:

    You may be able to get away with only having four bowlers when three of them are ranked in the top 4, but that Allstars side is gash. The odds don't reflect the form of their middle order; they reflect the fact that you have a much, much better bowling attack than they do. And that's because they have two of their best four bowlers out.

    Don't get me wrong, you'd be favourites anyway. You have a better side overall even when they're full strength, and you're at home. But I'm not sure what point you're actually trying to make with these posts.

    Hope we get 2 bats, DOn't know how I've dropped a batting ranking after I tonned up and Flack failed.

    I know why I just dont like it

    I just figured the Stars were a much better side than what was being reflected in the odds. Hadn't realised they normally ran 4 bowlers until you pointed it out though so assumed it was simply Bradford instead of Emm as the weakness in their attack.

    Still think we can cause an upset. Or maybe bat for the draw. :p
