“You’d suggest given the speed of the game that probably running-type players will be at a premium, but having played it a few times at practice the bigger guys come into their own,” coach Don Pyke said.

“For me, it’s a little bit like the T20 (cricket) when it started. Everyone was predicting the death of the spin bowler and it’s proven to be quite the opposite.

“I think it’ll just evolve. It’s an exciting new concept. We’ll see but I think there’ll be a role for everyone.”
