Welcome To Big Bash
Finally the Big Bash is here. Two teams with one of the Top Power Hitters in the World are facing against each other to start off.
Strikers have Pollard and Stars have Maxwell. I think Stars are slightly stronger than Strikers.
But bookmakers have priced Strikers @ 11/8 and Stars @ 4/7. I think the gap between the teams isn't that big. The main difference between both the teams is a brittle middle order of Strikers. Also I want to see how frequently Strikers will play Shaun Tait. If they play him I'm against them, because in the recent years he has been handled very easily by the domestic players also.
One interesting stat about the ground. In the recent years Adelaide Oval has been a good ground for chasing. In the 2013 Big Bash out of 5 matches 3 have been won by chasing teams. In the other 2 matches it's the Adelaide Strikers who lost from winning scenarios during the chase. This stadium has hosted 2 International T20 matches and both won by chasing teams. The ODI statistics also point to the same.
Some more stats. It's about the History of the Tournament. Stars always had a top 4 finish in the Points Table, where Strikers always bottom 4. Squads change every year but the team managements doesn't. So the mis-management should be taken as a factor.
Anyways, let's wait for the squads to decide something then.
Play Stars with low stakes 4/7 @ 1$
