[Smbhayi]

For our home games we should go with Super bowlers all the time..

[Geil]

so the Hawks game will probably be a road or worst case a flat pitch we should really get the batting order right this time especially our diamond bat @last_knight and our super batsmen whoever they are going to be

Let's see what pitch Hawks want to play on.

[Geil]

Just a question popped in my mind so usually on flat road pitches we boost either batsman or double boost AR(again thinking of strengthening batting) , so boosting a bowler on road or flat pitches, will it be a waste of a boost?

We can do whatever we like. We won't go according to what other teams have done so far.
We can go with One Super Bat and one Super bowler.

Sorry, couldn’t congratulate you guys properly!

My head wasn’t at the right place at that specific moment

So hereby: well played Loose Cannons!

Very strong team - we will meet you soon!

Thanks skipper. All the best for your next matches.

[Geil]

if you need out of the box strategy then do have a look at it,we can go for a super bat and a super bowler maybe, now super bowler might be a gamble I dont know , we can bat @last_knight and a super bat in top5 and bat stokes as a finisher just get the feeling that stokes might be a good finisher

Go with 2 super bat.. Super bowler not gonna work at all on a real road.. Should go with 2 super bat.. BTW if you want to gamble boost 2 bowlers ..

When we play on devilish pitch which should be comparable to road in terms of aiding one specific facet, we tend to not use boosts on bowlers (right or did I get it wrong?) as we think we are getting enough help for the bowlers from the pitch then why is it not so for batsmen on road?

[last_knight]

@Smbhayi we are going with one super bowler and 1 super bat.

[Watsupdoc]

Road has thrown such a spanner on these Cannons they can’t decide k how should drink the boost

[last_knight]

It simply impossible to adjust 2 super bats in line up. 1 will fail anyway.
@TeymurBlake and @Ismailtoca will get boosts.Batting AR Stokes will not play on a road.
Toss call is still undecided.

[last_knight]

Give line up for this match to me @Smbhayi
Consider this an experiment. I'm prepared to accept a loss for this experiment. It will be a win though.

Toss Call : Bat First

[Square Drive]

No pressure Cannons. The goal here should be to lose by as little as possible so that your NRR remains respectable

[Smbhayi]

@Smbhayi we are going with one super bowler and 1 super bat.

On a Road they'll score 350+ regardless the boosted bowler bowled well or not.. By boosting two bat one of them have a great chance to score a daddy hundred... Also their pitch not conductive
for spinners, swing bowlers may found little help there..

Devilish pitch is a lottery, team who bat first will win most of the time regardless their team strength..

[Smbhayi]

Opening with a boosted bat give us a flying start (hopefully) while 4th one most likely to score big..

[last_knight]

Alright then. I'm going with your line up but stokes can't play. No way a batting AR will be included as 5th bowler for a Road.

Okay then , since they also playing a spinner it won't be a much of worry I guess..

looks fine. but why waste batting skills of both super bowlers at 10-11. one of them should open in place of @Geil

and Stokes we need in Middle Order.

In this line up, opening with @Titan24 and @Ismailtoca will be better. With Stokes at 5 and @Azan Basit at 8.

Most likely first 3 wickets will go cheaply (whatever their skills are) and if we win the toss we may needed these tails hangs a little bit for main bat..

I think even for 2 super bats , one fails if they bat together. So 1 super bowler at 10 should be good enough. Or we can open with @Geil and @as-95 with another RHB @Azan Basit at 3 and LHB @Titan24 at 8

Stokes without boost batted well at spicy so I think we need not exposing him at top. He has more utility in Middle order.

Another plan to consider in-case u are short of ideas: we play pure AR hafeez and drop fast medium Azlan khan and boost hafeez only one time that makes a three man spin attack on spin friendly road

if we do this then we have only one super bat

We now play away against Assassins.
suggestions @Smbhayi @Geil

[last_knight]

Deadline is 5pm PST, Tomorrow.
All can give the suggestions and we will post line up tomorrow.

[Geil]

We have three boosts left and 4 matches with 2 home and 2 away

we could go with 5 man pace attack with Ben stokes(to add depth in batting) @Smbhayi toca azlan &me

I guess using boost on devilish would be a waste right? playing silentkiller on devilish assassin pitch would be useful?? or better to play with all pace attack

All pace attack.
Both teams most likely to get all out by 12-14 overs. means not all bowlers need to complete their quota of 4 overs.
It will be something like
@Geil 3, @Smbhayi 2, @Azlan Khan 2 @Ismailtoca 3 , Stokes 3.

[Smbhayi]

Devilish, mostly batting first team will win here if chasing team win here they'll get huge nrr boost

Yes. Hafeez can replace Azlan Khan
What about boost for #Stokes.

[Smbhayi]

Yes. Hafeez can replace Azlan Khan
What about boost for #Stokes.

If we're chasing guess that's a good idea and place him @ 7 and you @ 8.. Single boost by the way..

Azlan Khan normally bowls well than Toca..

now that its no more a secret, yes @Azlan Khan was always going to play this match.

Just for fun, I want to see if Assassins post their line up or will they wait for us.

For their comfort, One thing is decided though. Our toss call will be to bowl first.

Same order I guess.. I think we should use both boosts here considering most probably will choose road pitch.. Though boosts so far don't have much effect on t20s..

[Smbhayi]

We should boost a bowler and bat instead of Stokes as I think we may needed low skilled bat upfront to blunt new ball..

On a spicy pitch Its a very risky thing but yes let's try it one more time.

Want to go with Captain's XI for once

You can post team in match thread skipper. No one amongst Cannons will object.
@as-95 said it casuaally but he did not demanded boost, still he was given boost.for match against PB , my gut feeling was to give boost to you.

I think we are at top in FC and t20 and thats team work.
