Tim David is one of the most dynamic and entertaining players in world T20 cricket. David has a different style of hitting, using a more open bat face with his immense power to clear fielders inside the inner circle as well as the boundary rope. David also bowls handy right-arm off-spin in the middle overs of the game, which can usually earn a wicket and upset the rhythm of the opposition batters.
Nathan Ellis has been named the captain of the Hurricanes this season for the first time. Recently, he has struggled at the international level for Australia and will be lent heavily to turn his form around. Ellis is shorter than usual for a pace bowler, meaning deliveries skid on to batters, making the ball harder to hit than most. He also bowls brilliant variations that catch batters out, who then find themselves walking back to the changing rooms.
Sam Hain is a handy pick-up by the Hurricanes from the Brisbane Heat. The Australian-born English batter has shown a brilliant ability to accumulate runs in the middle overs of a match while also finding the boundary to further accelerate the scoring rate. Hain will be the perfect foil for David, Corey Anderson, Ben McDermott, and Matthew Wade, who all enjoy scoring quickly. Hain will play a brilliant supporting role to round out their batting unit brilliantly.
The Hobart Hurricanes seem to be overpriced on the third line of betting at $7 with top Australian bookmakers. Injuries have plagued fast bowlers Riley Meredith and Billy Stanlake in recent years, while Corey Anderson has not played a high level of cricket for an extended period and Ben McDermott’s BBL form has been inconsistent.
The Hurricanes All-Time XI has some of the greatest T20 players Australia produced in the early days of the format. The trio of Short, McDermott, and Wade at the top are supported by George Bailey, who was a brilliant scorer and accumulator (while also being able to hit a big ball), and Travis Birt, who could take down any bowling attack on any given day.
Xavier Doherty was one of the earliest left-arm orthodox exponents of the discipline and the T20 format, along with Ben Laughlin, who was able to produce some of the greatest changes in pace we’ve seen. With Ellis and Meredith taking the new ball, this is one very talented bowling attack.
