If we tie and go to super over, who will we send out to bat?

Post by ZIMDOGGY »

We have tied in this series already and we have a history of tying with both Ireland and the Windies.
Given the ICC have said these ties aren’t on in the s6 stage and we will be going to a super over, the question begs, who do we send out to face the music?

Candidates for mine below;

Cephas: We all know why he’s a candidate, but can he replicate this with pressure and good bowling designed to restrict runs only in a non powerplay format? Very fragile

Mire: Kind of the same as Cephas, but with a bit more strokeplay ability and adaptability.

Taylor: Best bat and coolest under pressure, has done a similar job before. Such as the 6 in the Bangladesh game. No mug on the slog.

Raza: Knows how to find the boundary and in form.

Waller (if he plays): Can be the most destructive batsman in the team when on fire, seems unaffected by pressure if we look at a lot of past results when he’s saved his skin.

Hamilton: Top order player.

I personally would do the above listed in the order I have written, but I am by no means sure of myself.

There are only 3 options IMO: Raza, Taylor, and Cephas.

Taylor has done it before with that 6 against Bangladesh. But Raza is in form and has a range of strokes. Cephas would be my last choice of the 3.

But what exactly does a Super Over entail? I know its 6 balls, what if a wicket falls, do you send another batter in or is that "all out"? Are there any fielding restrictions? What about the 2 bouncer rule? Anyone have a clue?

Umm, you picked Waller based off current form. Maybe go sit in the quiet corner and think about your actions for five minutes. Have a time out.

Nah jokes aside , has to be Taylor. Class and the coolest under pressure , performs in big games and when it matters the most.

Mire is out of touch atm and he struggles against spin so I'd leave him out

Hami is in ok form but I feel the others are in better touch

Taylor is the first guy picked as he is in rare form and is our best player

Raza is probably our second best player and in great form as well so I would send him in with BT

Cephas is still a big risk at this level but his ability to hit big sixes and him being in relative form I'd send him in next


Who would bowl ???

either Chatara or Sean Williams for me

I would send Cephas and Raza with Taylor the next man in.

Am I the only one who thinks it's absurd to change the rules halfway through the tournament? The Super6s with points carried forward from the group is designated as a round robin, but 3 of the 5 matches are now played under different rules :roll:
