His price is astronomical! I could only afford him if I traded out Short.

How about Vince though? 51k? What's his T20 game like

 

[Cotchy9]

Given the weather, may bring in Agar over Watson, or better to bring in Maxwell ahead of next week?

What's everyone thoughts on Captain choices this round.

Watson is probably the safest option and only thunder player id consider, been in decent form with that bat and getting some overs in. Obvious worry if rain is forecast for the second game.

Johnson has shown enough to be worth consideration. Always a worry that he could be rested, but looking at their depleted bowling lineup you'd think that they can't afford that luxury.

Agar seems to be getting a decent crack with bat and bowl, has been pretty consistent too.

Turner has some decent form with the bat, always risky taking a batsmans as captain, but can pay off big time.

VC Watson and see how he goes is my plan

Only other option I'd consider would be Vince or MJ

 

[happy_eagle]

McCullum to Turner will be my final trade. 4 Scorchers, 2 Thunder players and Silk on the bench anticipating some rain for the Sydney Derby
Next week might be tough with 7 bye players on my field currently.
Will probably use the Watson VC loophole (via Wade), but it won't take much for me to go with him. Bravo the only other one capable of a solid 1 game score.
Will make the call on Ingram/Silk closer to game day

Khan a capt option for you I'd have thought

Vince not playing. Means I have to do trades again which is a pain.

 

[Leuy LongerCombo]

Tossing up between Sams > Klinger or Neser > Johnson. The forecast rain for the Sydney match is a little worrying considering I've got 3 Sixers players and 2 Thunder players.

It's 2 days away and most people will be affected you would've thought. I don't think you can make it impact your decision making, unless you're unsure on a 50/50 between a scorcher and a thunder player.

33% chance of rain in Syndey at game time, 55% in Darwin.

pick your best side and cross your fingers...there's no way can plan for it.

 

[Longbombswans]

Khawaja in and VC because why not. In before #gunsgettheducks

 

[toxic]

Why wouldnt they bowl spin at Uzman

 

[PoopingHindi]

yet another catch dropped off one of my bowlers by one of my others players
its a ****ing conspiracy.

Same here, reckon thats 4 in the last round and a bit

 

[grimlock]

Anyone have both Khawaja and Bancroft with one of them captain?

 

[toxic]

RIP 4k league, thanks to someone not doing trades.

Looks like we have another.

Carn the Grinders coached by Alex is on zero this rd

 

[happy_eagle]

Cartwright impressive
Watson, McClenaghan and Agar average
Voges and Turner non existent

For those who loopholed Watson, reckon that is enough to trust a second game ?

League was stuffed a couple of rounds ago. Bit of a shame as there are some really good sides in there.

 

[Plugger35]

Thought Agar was going to get a decent bat when the Scorchers were 4 down after 6 overs and of course no other wickets fall along with 2 dropped catches.

Should have made Khawaja or Cartwright captain.

To be fair. With the amount of catches going down this year it would probably be more of a surprise if one of your players wasn't one of the batsmen/bowler/fielder at some point in a drop in each game. Catching has been ridiculously bad.

 

[grimlock]

Looking at the Sixers squad, I think Sams will miss out

Sixers v Thunder

Botha
Abbott
Bird
Brathwaite
Denly
Dwarshuis
Henriques
Hughes
Lyon
Maddinson
Nevill
Sams
Silk

In: Brathwaite Denly Henriques Lyon
Out: Billings Roy
