Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

Because you can never have too many T20 competitions going on at the same time (something I learned from the ICC) Footman enterprises are proud to present the latest edition to the family... the Super Smash fantasy league... more super than the most super of super supers and the smashiest of smashy smashes

Squads
http://www.cricketzine.com/burger-king- ... yers-list/

first smash smashes off at a smashing 0700 GMT on 22nd December, so teams must be in before the toss..... don't be the chump who misses out

squads look provisional to me, but it's a start

MY SIDE

1.Colin Munro (Aces)
2.Rob Nicol (Otago)
3.Craig Cachopa (Aces)
4.Henry Nicholls (Kings)
5.Dean Brownlie (Knights)
6.George Worker (Stags)
7.Chris Jordan (Knights)
8.Sam Curran (Aces)
9.Matt Henry (Kings)
10.Glenn Phillips (Aces) (wk)
11.Mitch McLengahan (Aces)

Donald Trump

and no-one can say fairer than that

Is this akin to Big Bash lite?

perhaps..... but still better than the T20 Blast

everything is more prestigious than the Blast

Cheers Footman

Keeping my powder dry for this one, inside information and all that.

What time are the games in the UK? Wonder if Sky will be covering it, having missed out to BT on the Bash? Or will we have to search in similar areas as for the US Open tennis and USPGA golf to be able to watch?

the mzansi was on freesport, I noticed the other day

Any time between 2am and 6am GMT

Not sure if the Super Smash is broadcast overseas

Almost all MSL matches are covered in India on Sony.

Cachopa (Aces)
McClenaghan (Aces)
Ellis (Kings)
Astle (Kings)
Bruce (Stags)
Ryder (Stags)
Nicol (Volts)
Kitchen (Volts)
Ronchi (Firebirds)
Devcich (Knights)
Neesham (Volts)

this is a harder one to call than the BBL. I hope I make a better job of it than I did with the MSL... although that might just mean don't pick Hapless Amla and don't pick a player who gets injured between deadline day and his first match

I've been worrying about the squads for this. Every place I look seems to have different looking squads
the one I posted at the start of this thread, for example, includes Rob Nichol for Otago.... yet a search on the player reveals that he retired back in June, from all international and domestic cricket

hmm!

when you've picked your players, my advice would be to check them all out individually

Crapinfo is not helping with any sort of squad lists. Reminds me of the KSL earlier this year when the squads did not appear until pretty much the day before the tournament started..... which feels optimistic for this one, if I'm honest
