KFC - BBL

[M4TT B8S]

I should've gone Russ, he'll get wickets, didn't expect him to bat though, but 20 runs at awesome strike rate (40 before bowling) is awesome for the team anyway

and a wicket or two from Watto is not too much to ask, I'd be asking the same haha (Come on Huss, catch it)

 

[doddy2731]

I got VC on Russ, so i'll see how he bowls. Happy i brought Peirson hope he makes some runs now.

 

[M4TT B8S]

Coupla wickets and a catch now...too much to ask?

nup haha, there's one

 

[doddy2731]

Well i think Russ did enough!

 

[TwentyThree]

Yeah Russ feels like the DT MVP of this BBL season. Scored 90+ without doing anything particularly special. What a beast.

 

[doddy2731]

Looks like Maxy will wear the C for the remainder of the round.
Fingers crossed that Richardson can et a couple of points he's been pathetic lately.

 

[TwentyThree]

How did Richardson get in the Aus ODI team?! Stoked for Paris tho.

Just traded out Hadds for Ben McDermott - pure cash grab ($40k +). Didn't have options I liked to trade elsewhere and wanted to build some bank.

Will take Watto's 80-odd. Faulkner has the C.

 

[Hondo]

I had a shocker in that last round with no Marsh, Bravo C, Gayle, Rimmington and Maddinson. I still managed to hold my rank around 1,000 though.

Behrendorff was a nice win but I should have found a way to afford Marsh by taking a cheaper player than Rimmington. This game is about getting the right high scorers rather than hoping your 11th player is good.

This round I punted on Blizzard rather than taking Watto who I could have afforded so another 70 points gone.

I did Haddin/Maddinson/Lumb--> Lynn, Blizzard, Harltey. VC on Lynn and I will take his score.

 

[Dino]

Im having a good round so far. I traded Maxwell & Fawkner to Marsh and Lynn. Stuck the VC on Finch so everything it working out so far. I just hope I dont stuff up the loophole.

 

[doddy2731]

Looking good Dino.

 

[doddy2731]

Feeling the pain of the selectors after the ODI squad was named. I am currently fielding Finch, Marsh, Maxy, Richarson, and Paris.
Got some real decisions to make, one positive is that I was going to trade Richo this week if he didn't perform.

 

[Dino]

That will hurt those who had Marsh as Capt.

 

[doddy2731]

That will hurt those who had Marsh as Capt.

It'll be fine for this round, but as of tomorrow throw them on last uears SC pile!

 

[doddy2731]

That will hurt those who had Marsh as Capt.

Sorry Dino i just relised what happened. Happy i put the VC Russ thats for sure.

 

[TwentyThree]

Marsh will play Thursday, assuming then that Paris will too. Hogg has let me down this year.

 

[M4TT B8S]

Yeah, screw BBL, bring on Supercoach I say

 

[Dino]

Yeah, screw BBL, bring on Supercoach I say

agree 100%. BBL fantasy is a bit of fun, but its no SC.

 

[doddy2731]

There is a lot of luck in bbl for sure. And now with the added pressure of form players leaving really makes it tough.

 

[doddy2731]

Marsh will play Thursday, assuming then that Paris will too. Hogg has let me down this year.

How late do you think we'll know the starting teams?

 

[TwentyThree]

How late do you think we'll know the starting teams?

Generally not till half an hour before each game. The commentators mentioned this (Marsh playing) last night; as Mark Waugh was one of those (and is an Australian selector) I'm willing to run with it.
