I dont see how we wont finish in the top two tbh. We've lost two batsmen who are both on the decline. We have a host of youngsters waiting to step up.
Yeah we know that. You need to learn how to read situations, you seem so naive about many things. Of course he is referring to the fact that he has three test bowlers in his side (notice how he didnt say 'current'), because he is trying to swing it around to make Gamblers seem superior. You'd make a shit Judge, FTR.
Gemmell is not on the decline. His batting is as good as ever, he just is failing to make the most of his starts.
I'd like to see the Cyclones in the final again. If they lose, it would be lolz and if they win, well, it's about time.
It's got no relevance to the current discussion. Even at the time he only came in due to an injury iirc. Now he doesn't even make the Qld side. He's a good bowler, but he's not great. Your bowling has question marks afaic. Even Tyson only averaged 35 with the pill for most of the season in a team that dominated with the ball, moreso than you will.
Season 6: 36.44 Season 7: 56.35 Season 8: 62.36 Wow, that's a shocking decline...But speaking of decline let's have a look at your bowling Season 6: 21.62 Season 7: 24.33 Season 8: 27.55 Should be good seeing you average in the 30's next season.
The Vipers are on the rise and it gets a bit lost imo. They've lost no one from their firsts side and gained a decent opener. It'll certainly be more open next season. If things stay as they are for the Rays in terms of signings, we'll most likely look at a different strategy. Our top 6 will most likely be improved upon and we'll be relying on our batting a bit. If myself and farny have similar seasons to this one, there's no reason why we can't challenge the top teams. Welker averaged 20 all season in alc and will most likely come up to the top grade at least in home matches. Steal a few away from home and we'll be right.
@ Bedsey's strangely deleted post. I'm happy staying at a team where I have the least chance of being dropped for now. Anywhere else, and my record could be broken. <.<
Oh ye Short, but hes no replacement in all honesty. Masters looks promising though. You can't deny losing the pair of them will hurt you. You'll be up there no doubt but you won't dominate like last season.
