I think Local Replacement Players have to be signed immediately after the player they're replacing and named in the next match day squad too. So it would have to be for Short?

Harry Manenti is worth a try though. He did well in the top end tournament for the strikers. And is much better than his brother for Italy. Albeit mostly in beating up on low-tier nations. Does have a 3-for vs Ireland though.

I am glad you understand the local replacement rules. Very confusing.

I see Tom Andrews got picked up by the Thunder.

Harry Manenti is listed as an all rounder but is he more of a batsman or bowler?

Bowls some fairly innocuous medium pace (wicket keeper up at times)

Slogging batter mostly

I don't. I can't actually find the rules anywhere, and am piecing it together from multiple official press releases from Strikers/Cricket Australia. They only concrete thing I found was the bit about it being compulsory to immediately select a local replacement player in the match day team or 12th man if you use one to replace an injured player.

He was better with the bat for the Strikers team that played in the top end. But historically he bowls better against real opposition for Italy, and beats up on lesser teams with the bat as well.

So late order slogger who bowls an over or two?

Feel like Adelaide will regret not replacing their third spinner on a turning wicket.

Overton hits a pretty long ball

A defendable score in the end.

Sucked in Renshaw

Hmmph

We're 1-2 but had our chances to be 3-0

 

[crowholder]

Disappointing result, but we fought hard and just lost in the end. Great last over by Scott under pressure. He almost got us into a super over.

Great over by Scott. I thought all his overs were well bowled.

We probably didn't deserve to win but it feels like the second game this year that we lost from a winning position in the field. I think it might be part poor captaincy / coaching and part personnel.

Short is not having a good season.

Hasn't fired with the bat and has made some very questionable captaincy calls.

Thornton doesn't have a slower ball so is a bit of an all-or-nothing risk in a Power Surge and at the death.

Gets wickets or gets smashed. No Plan B

Maybe we're better bowling Scott along with Overton in those two Surge overs?

 

[Interloperer]

Thornton's the bowler I trust the least at the end of an innings, his reaction to getting smashed is to somehow think that the batter was 'wrong' and just bowl the same ball again. I feel like he should bowl his 4 overs in one spell at the start, where this is an admirable trait when seeking wickets.

I don't feel like Ollie Pope has been an amazing recruit either.
