I still think that Dave Hussey didn't plan well, when he bought 2 overseas pacers, when he had Hatcher and Coulter-Nile in their attack. He could have invested that pick on a good overseas middle order batter (like Iftikhar)
Interesting thoughts. I don't mind the decision to go bowling strong, particularly in the BBL where bowling strong teams tend to do pretty well.
We don't know contractual obligations to players but where I think they did go wrong was not being a little more ruthless with the batting group, given that it contained some domestic players who had previously exhibited consistently low intent in the past. Webster has so much power but that doesn't tally with his boundary percentage or strike rate, suggesting he takes far too many wicket preserving options when batting.
Personally I wouldn't be in favour of recruiting Iftikhar. Yes he's done well in T10 and in the BPL but they are played in far different conditions and standards. Prior to the T10 he hadn't done much at a high level for a while. Is it a career turnaround or a short-term purple patch? We will have to see, but career turnarounds for 32 year olds don't tend to happen that often.
I agree with your point. I just suggested his name, because he plays the bounce well and that showed out in the T20 WC and also in the 2019 tour, where he hit a 62 in Canberra
