T20 Champions League Draw

[Twizzle]

Steve Smith MOM

they replaced Sunshine with Neville, they sure have some depth and they made a mess of the star studded Mumbai team

 

[Patorick]

Auckland looking good for the title

:crazy:

 

[lockyno1]

sixers another win overnight, this time without Sunshine

Henriques out for 0

Only just...surely they have a better opener than Neville in T20

Id go with either Haddin or Maddinson to partner Lumb

Disagree on Haddin he is so good in the middle overs. Maddinson would be the one.

 

[aussies1st]

Maddinson should be opener, Smith up to 3.

 

[Patorick]

Phew.

Close one...

 

[Twizzle]

SOK the surprise packet at opener

4 run outs ffs

but made it through to the final in the last ball of the day

 

[Red Bear]

Haze 1/19 and SoK's 0/19 were the important figures, if they'd been towelled up as well we'd have had no chance

Cummins has been a bit shit, still a lot of learning to do for him.

 

[Patorick]

Yeah those runouts are a worry.

It seems Maddinson has been to the Shane Watson school of running between the wickets...

 

[Patorick]

Nice of Channel 9 to show two balls of it on the news tonight.

 

[TheParraboy]

SOK the surprise packet at opener

4 run outs ffs

but made it through to the final in the last ball of the day

there was only 2

 

[aussies1st]

SOK did well in the BBL final so nice seeing him back up opening again.

 

[Patorick]

Lions fighting back strong here.

 

[Patorick]

Sixers chasing 122 to win.

 

[TheParraboy]

good comeback by the lions, but a run a ball is all sixers need to do to win

easy peasy, they will be the world champs

 

[Patorick]

Unless...

 

[Patorick]

All over. Well done Sixers!

 

[Patorick]

Ahem.

SYDNEY SIXERS

Coach: Trevor Bayliss

Captain: Brad Haddin

Squad: Dwayne Bravo (WInd), Ed Cowan, Patrick Cummins, Brad Haddin, Josh Hazlewood, Moises Henriques, Brett Lee, Michael Lumb (Eng), Stuart MacGill, Nic Maddinson, Ian Moran, Peter Nevill, Steve O'Keefe, Ben Rohrer, Steven Smith, Mitchell Starc, Dominic Thornely, Shane Watson

Best XI: Shane Watson, Ed Cowan, Michael Lumb, Brad Haddin, Nic Maddinson, Steven Smith, Moises Henriques, Steve O'Keefe, Dwayne Bravo, Brett Lee, Patrick Cummins

Comment: The Sixers have signed the vast majority of NSW's bowling attack from the T20 Champions League, all of which have played some form of cricket for Australia, plus a few notable inclusions. The batting order will be weakened by Shane Watson, Brad Haddin and potentially Ed Cowan's mid-season exit, but still respectable. It will be interesting to see just how much Stuart MacGill features in coach Trevor Bayliss' plans.

Odds: $8.00 (Centrebet), $8.00 (Sportingbet)

Predicted finish: Eighth

:crazy:

Well that was pretty easy, didn't need Watto either.
