Brad Hodge currently going nuts.

He certainly is... and some dill wanted to drop him.

McDonalds bowling isn't as effective as it should be now. I wouldn't think he is in any danger of being dropped but he isn't in great form.

With Ross Taylor coming back in for the prelim, I think his spot is in a bit of danger.

The obvious first ten picked for me would be:

Finch
Hodge
Taylor
White
Hussey
Bravo
Wade
Hastings
McKay
Nannes

That leaves a battle between McDonald and Holland. McDonald offers batting depth and Holland adds variety to the bowling attack with his spin. I mainly see McDonald as a batsman in the side but with Bravo and Hastings to a degree, his value is diminished. Without him we would have Hastings at 8 and even McKay at 9 which is pretty good. Definitely a (goodish) dilemma for the selectors.

Just a bit of pointless info. They sectioned off a bay in the Northern Stand for people in corporate boxes/invited to the game/celebrities. I sat in the last bay before it and saw Callan Ward, Sam Reid and Liam Picken (and Marcus for that matter!).

I also saw Dustin Fletcher, Glenn Archer, Ricky Olarenshaw (who is doing his darnedest to top Terry Wallace's most cringe worthy fake tan), Grant Thomas (surprisingly getting food), Dean Jones and a guy from Thank God You're Here and radio.

Convincing win tonight by Qld over WA.

Simpson got them off to a flyer with 76 from 38 balls. Qld made 203.

Odd dismissal when Gayle went out hit wicket. Most batsmen hit the sumps on their backswing, not Gayle, the cut his off stump!

Qld v Vic to face the rampaging Redbacks.

As good as SA have been I wonder how they'll go in the CL without Pollard and Afridi. I think Victoria has the best chance of winning so it would be (extra) good if we beat Queensland Tuesday.

Pretty sure I heard that Afridi is unavailable for the T20 final as he will be added to the Pakistani squad for the one-dayers. (D.Hussey & White could be in the same situation with the Aus squad)

It takes a big dill, I mean man to admit when they are wrong!

Dwayne Bravo out of tonights game with a fractured thumb.

Re: 20/20 KFC Big Bash

Dwayne Bravo out of tonights game with a fractured thumb.

Is it a great loss?

His bowling hasn't been real flash, his batting has been OK & his fielding is fine.

So, what changes?

In: Ross Taylor, Matthew Wade & maybe Peter Siddle.

Out: Dwayne Bravo, Ryan Carters & maybe John Holland.

Hells Bells, you sound like a Collingwood supporter with undeserved arrogance like that!
