I'd like to see the Hurricanes and the Heat both make it, though I agree the latter have a tough road. Overall, the Sixers look the strongest team to me - they are one of the few sides to have real batting depth. In contrast, the Stars and the Strikers are looking like one-player teams.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00489755837723091274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4896684740062197881.post-84906549215432631192017-01-02T17:43:45.737+00:002017-01-02T17:43:45.737+00:00I think it's a decent call to say that the cur...I think it's a decent call to say that the current top four will still be there at the end. For me Strikers have been disappointing and lucky to pick up extra points from no-results. They are the weakest batting team apart from Renegades and without Edwards rely heavily on Devine and Beaumont, who has only just started to produce for them. <br /><br />I can only see Strikers moving down the table. Hurricanes my go up a place or two but Scorchers, with 2 games in hand have a great chance for qualification now and have been quite impressive at times. Brunt especially impressive for me. Most of the England bowlers (Hazell, Brunt, Grundy, Shrubsole) have looked good but the batting from England players has been disappointing apart from one knock each from Knight and Beaumont. You say that Renegades internationals have floundered, but they've been better than some others. Harris hasn't contributed much yet but Priest and Tahuhu have had some good matches, and Wyatt has actually been quite consistent so far with a few solid contributions. Heat have been unpredictable, scraping though when I thought they would lose but, like this morning, losing 3 wickets in 3 balls and just falling short when it looked like they might make it. Overall though it could have been worse for them. They still have an outside chance. Kimmince hasn't been as good as I thought but both Barsby and Short look very neat players.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952597754091672288noreply@blogger.com
