And he'll bring in Dwayne Bravo. Oram getting injured is something Julian is very well covered against.
Oh i'm not saying it'll impact his team, just that Oram is shit, and it's a miracle he didn't get injured the first round
Jaques' injury has stuffed me a tad though. Originally I had both Bravo and Thornely as my main back up players. I look forward to this season as it progresses but I can't believe some of the picks I made leaving me short of viable quick bowling options. My 3 back up seamers are such stupid picks but from memory I missed out on about 6 players I wanted by one or two picks.
Was looking at them today and I've got no idea who I'd bring in out of Bracken, Langeveldt and Dorey.
When you consider the top line up they're pretty ordinary I reckon. The one plus is that atm I have 7 viable bowling options.
