Australia were set to host their first-ever T20 World Cup in October and November of 2020.
The 18th of February saw another incredibly exciting IPL auction take place.
After an extremely troubling start to the season, Manchester United have turned it around.
The 2021 NBA draft is already being hyped up as one of the best classes in recent years.
On second thought Mitchell Marsh would be a quality option. I wouldn’t mind if he got the nod over Stoinis. Even Alex Carey would be a shout if we just decided on a pure batsmen for that spot.
I agree with your point on the batting friendly pitches for entertainment purposes, but I still expect the wicket to turn a fair bit. If Finch can return to form this series vs New Zealand I don’t mind if he plays, but I honestly don’t think he would be successful in India.

I urge you to look up his record in the sub continent, particularly his record against spin in the subcontinent. its dreadful. His strike rate against spin has always been lower than his strike rate against pace, and almost all of his dismissals in the sub continent have been by spinners.

Yes I expect it may even be 22, which would allow for a lot of chopping and changing throughout the tournament.

stoinis has a pretty bad record for Australia, and Warner is a great player of spin with a lot of experience in India.

who would you replace who with?

While I get your point, Finch is an incredibly bad player of spin, and has consistently failed to bat in India. Carey too has consistently been average for Australia. I’ve personally watched Finch and the Australian team play in Sri Lanka before, and Finch cannot handle the subcontinent turn. His record in India is even worse apart from one century in ODI. That combined with his poor domestic form is why I left him out.
Stoinis is a ‘locked in,’ because of his ability to bowl as well. Otherwise, i’d lean towards replacing him as I feel there are better players of spin.

I think the fact that his base price was so high meant teams were hesitant to buy

I mean for perspective Virat Kohli has the exact same strike rate as Smith in the IPL and an average of just 3 runs more.

He’s gonna have a hard time getting consistent game time.

Hi John and thank you. The start date is estimated for the 11th of April, but players would probably have to arrive at least 6 days prior due to quarantine restrictions. So yes unfortunately, this will affect shield cricket

A common trend you will see in these IPL auctions is the value of all rounders. The three most expensive players from the auction yesterday were Chris Morris, Kyle Jamieson, and Glenn Maxwell, all all rounders. Coulter-Nile is therefore pretty valuable. In addition to that, many of the teams batting top orders were already full, so Dehli only needed one bid to get Smith.

i’d say thats pretty harsh on Smith to be honest. He has a pretty decent IPL average of 35 for his career, so is certainty valuable.

he is definitely another option. I expect him to anchor the Portuguese Defense very soon
Two improvements for Manchester United in the transfer market
Head is the future. I’d play him over Wade in the fourth test
Matthew Wade's latest shocking shot might be the end of the line
I think Garland on the Cavs is a shout for Most Improved.
Way-too-early NBA award predictions: Sixth man of the year and most improved player
Agree fully. I laugh when people say Lillard is better. He never was never will be
Stephen Curry: The disrespected superstar
Thanks! While Cade may not be as hyped up as Zion, i’d argue he is actually better at his age than Zion was when he was in college. And definitely better than Edwards and LaMelo too. Not Doncic though.
A way-too-early 2021 NBA mock draft
with how he started the season he probably will be a top 5 talent if he continues this

i’d have wade opening the batting IN INDIA over Stoinis any day of the week. Same with Phillipe, given how good he is at playing spin
When does Aaron Finch’s form become a World Cup worry?
