ADELAIDE Strikers star Alex Hales will let his bat respond to Hobart Hurricanes skipper George Bailey's prediction some teams will work him out during the Big Bash League.
Hales enhanced his reputation as the No. 1 Twenty20 batsman in the world when he smacked 49 runs off 19 balls in the Strikers' abandoned match in Hobart last week but Bailey believed the innings was "lucky".
"That's a couple of innings now where I feel like he's a lucky Twenty20 player,'' Bailey told media after the match.

"He's a beautiful striker of the ball. He's a big strong man and he hits it really clean, but I think that the balls that sort of fly to third man, I've seen him do that a lot.
"There'll be times, I think, when he'll come off just through his brute force and power but I think there'll be teams that work him out.''
Hales hadn't heard Bailey's comments when he arrived back in Adelaide yesterday and wasn't going to be drawn on them.

Hales Twenty20 numbers suggests there's more to his game than luck. He averages 39.11 at a strike rate of 135 in 21 internationals for England and is the No. 1 rated batsman in the world on the ICC's shortest form rankings.
The 24-year-old admitted his innings was a little streaky against Hobart but hopes to time the ball better against Sydney Thunder on December 27 and against Perth Scorchers in his home debut for the Strikers at Adelaide Oval on New Year's Eve.

Anyone who wants to bring in the New Year with fireworks might pay to head to the ground.
Hales took once took 55 from a single over in English Twenty20 tournament. He hit eight sixes and a four from a nine ball over which included three no-balls.
Adelaide will fancy itself to head to ANZ Stadium and beat the Thunder on December 27 with the struggling Sydney side almost certain to be without its two best batsmen.
David Warner will be on Boxing Day Test duties while Usman Khawaja suffered a hamstring injury during the side's six wicket loss to the Sydney Sixers on Saturday night.
The pair put on 116 for the first wicket during the match but the Thunder failed to capitalise, only managing 166, a score the Sixers comfortably ran down.
The Thunder has struggled in the opening two years of the BBL but features a new look side captained by retired Australian Test champion Mike Hussey.
"Two of our best batsmen are going to be unavailable,'' Hussey said. "I still think we've got the ability to cover it."
