BBL Markets Preview Game 40: Scorchers v Thunder

Jan 23, 2019, 10:22PM

Welcome to Stats Insider's Big Bash Market Preview - your daily look at what the model (and my gut!) are seeing in the main markets (and a few exotics) each and every day of BBL08!

Behrendorff and the Marsh brothers are back for the Scorchers which has led markets (and model) to want nothing to do with the Thunder tonight. Plenty of exotics value about though!

Head to Head

There is no value in this one in the main markets according to the model with the Scorchers heavy and deserved favourites on their home deck. Make sure to check back in on the Match Page though because the model is constantly updating.

High Bat

Shaun Marsh starting at $4 in his first game of BBL08, thankyou very much. Marsh is one of the best limited overs batsman in the country and I don't see anyone in that Thunder team who will really give him cause for concern.

For the Thunder though fire up your lower-order bowling all-rounders. With no Lenton Sangha should bat #4 and if Behrendorff and Coulter-Nile impact early then Sangha ($7), Sams ($9) and Green ($15) all present great value today.

Player of the Match

Behrendorff at $13's and Coulter-Nile at $15's are both solid plays. For value I don't mind having a go at Sams ($15) or Green ($21).

More than prepared to take driver off the deck from 250 out (especially if it's for a beverage or two!) but will also happily take my medicine when the occasion calls for it. Pumped to be part of the Stats Insider team - if it's value and it's footy, I'm all over it in 2019 folks!
