Daniel Drew - SA
David Grant - SA

Only 2 spare batsmen on the interchange.

We would have to have the worse list going around!

Be surprised if we win couple of games, think bottom two finish this year.

Hope the crowds don't drop off too much when we start losing!

I can certainly see where youre coming from with worst list.
But Weatherald, hasnt been given a go yet, should have the weapons to be successful at this form. The top 5 are ok, albeit inconsistent, they may just click and away we go. Bowling has 3 international standard players in Stanlake, Rashid and Laughlin but then falls away, i dont see what they see in Neser with the ball, hes good for 2 overs for 30, i dont know oconnor, whats he bowl? Siddle, meh average T20 bowler. So to sum that up we could be at either pointy end haha. Cant afford any injuries to the top 3 bowlers

Make enough comments youre bound to get something half right half of the time

[Spargo]

Plenty of pressure Laughlin

He is the most underrated player in the comp.

[Eagles2014]

No Head or Rashid on Sunday, so going to be tough! O'Connor will play, maybe Agar as well which is a worry.

[DOC]

Head may be available

[Eagles2014]

Head may be available

Hopefully common sense prevails and he plays, would not have won tonight without him!

[The Bedge]

BANG BANG!!

[Computer Crashed]

Can you pull in a player out of the squad ?
Sam Miller.
Bang Bang if he gets going.

[northerner]

Thank God Pollard didnt hit the winning runs on that last ball... very average cricketer with plenty to say and would have whooped it up big time. Actuually his lazy attempt with the boot in stopping a boundary was the difference in the end.

I will defend Neser... but hard to build any case for Lehmann. Has not had any impact with the bat and certainly would have been the villain if we lost. We cant afford to be a bowler short ... and Agar or O'Connor would probably get at least as many runs as Lehmann and also Wells.

Weatherald is another Aussie international in the making.

Big difference in guest player for ATCA T20 and BBL mate

Hard to disagree with any of that. I made mention of the foot effort earlier tonight was pathetic and reeked of arrogant laziness we have come to expect from West Indies players.

Lehmann probably on borrowed time, but losing Head (potentially) and Rashid for the final, don’t know if we can afford to suffer around too much. Dean should’ve been in for Lehmann from the start.

Smith, Winter & O’Connor in for Head, Lehmann and Rashid - gives us another bowler and a spin replacement

4.10 start on Sunday be it here or in Melbourne.
Going to be interesting if it's here as the basketball is on that afternoon too and the SMA provide staff for both the basketball and cricket.

The staff there are sooo slow it wouldn’t matter anyway.

You go to the wrong bar! I'm amazed how quick and efficient my bar is, not surprisingly people come from the hill which is two bars away to get served there quite often. I swear we serve 90% of the eastern side, well the smart ones anyway.

Please pardon me (I have not been to the new & improved AO) is the bar set up not like the MCG & Etihad, where Beers are pre-poured, you select your poison & pay on the way out?

The concept of mass serving food and beverages to large crowds hasn't made it's way to SA yet.......
