Lessons learnt from this year
- Strike rates are important more so for batters. Perth Stadium, GABBA (early season), Adelaide Oval are roads
- Sydney Showgrounds is a spinners and generally a bowlers paradise
- SCG is about fair value for bowlers and/or batters. Its the most truest pitch in Australia
- Timeanddate.com is the most reliable for weather. To be fair out of the 9 games that weather affected, I reckon there was 1 where it was off.
- Players to start a XI next year based on gut feels for BBL14, for domestic players anyway: Matt Short (Captain), Glenn Maxwell, Chris Lynn, Aaron Hardie, Ben McDermott (wicket keeper), Jake Fraser-McGurk, Chaudary, Daniel Sams, Michael Neser, Tanveer Sangha, Nathan Ellis. Doubt one could squeeze that in an equivalent full salary cap next season, but probably the 2 names on face value that might not be worth it are: Ellis and Chaudhary.
- Surprising imports this season: Jamie Overton, Dan Lawrence, Walter, Laurie Evans. All had their fair share of good games. I missed Dan Lawrence last game but if you had him in your last round , one sense you would have scored well.
- @HoneyballBBL had that really handy timetable sheet and I could plan ahead.
Not many people will be buying Short and Maxwell or both at their prices.
Depends on Maxwell's form but he was in a rich vein of form these last two months. Will he replicate it? Not sure.
Short should be in 100% of teams but he will be in about 30
If fit he's elite and a SC lockLooking into next season the must haves. I know one that isn't. Not going to pick Jhye Richardson next season.
Had a shocker and got injured again. I think he is done.
I imagine there's some poor bastard who had Josh Brown in their team for long periods this season and got * all from him. Then they see that he's smashed out 140 in the final, and they're thinking, "* you, campaigner."
Top 50 in the end so can’t complain but so close to top 10.
Random bump but just wondering if you ended up getting anything for top 100?
Nah I haven't heard anything about prizes or recieved anything yet. The site says there is a prize for top 111 so I'd be a little flat if I didn't get something at some stage but no real rush for it.
You top 100 too?

Last time I got the email late Jan and the prize (KFC voucher) some time in MarchYeah just signed up for AFL supercoach and saw the BBL tab and it reminded me I was expecting free KFC
Haven't heard a thing either but I thought that could've been cos I didn't have all my details in
