Early wickets for the Stars here are crucial, there aren't too many form players in there with the bat capable of chasing down any sort of total. Expect to see an opening partnership between Lyth & Shafiq in excess of 50, so if we can get in first with the bat, hopefully our middle order can finally capitalise on the start, Indians in particular are due.
Tremlett is a massive loss here for the Stars though, would add some serious firepower to an otherwise solid bowling attack, that could actually be capable of limiting a strong batting performance from the Prycers.
Indeed, Swan has been sound without being outstanding to date this season, and a big game here could see his side vie for victory. Joubert has easily been the sides best bowler this season, although it's hard to see him having an impact against the Prycers top order. Sharma has actually had an impact with the ball since coming into the side, so hopefully can pick up a few cheap early wickets.
29 wickets at a tick over 34. How big a blow is McDonald being out for you? He's been pretty dire anyway, am I right?
Yeah, McDonald being out means I have to use Katto/RaviBopi as my 5th bowler but McDonald has been absolutely turd so far this season anyway. Was averaging like 120 with the pill at one point. Probably Trott but Ramps will do it in both digs.
Spinners that are better than Graeme Swann: %Michael Clarke %Ravichandran Ashwin %Virender Sehwag %Chris Gayle %Monty Panesar %Ravindra Jadeja %Jean-Paul Duminy %Simon Katich %Sachin Tendulkar %Danish Kaneria %Pragyan Ojha %Nicky Boje %Johan Botha et al.
The way I see it , Prycer should win this quite easily , that is if the 5 or 6 score runs because your bowling is average it will be hard to get 20 wickets without conceding more than 700runs , nice to see Shabbir Ahmed and Ravi Bopara in the line up , hope they can do something , but I need them for the Leapers in Round 11 so they shouldnt over perform IIRC ,Trott has been out of sorts , wasnt in form but surely he will have to hit a ton if not this match sometime in the season Good luck to both teams
