The other problem is that Konstas averaged under 5 in the grade T/20 comp earlier in the season as an opener. Would say he’d need to show some form in the warmups to even be considered in that top 3.
The more I think about it, the more I think they’ll just throw Gilkes in at 5 and go with Warner, Bancroft, Davies and Billings as the top 4. Then you have Gilkes, Rutherford (availability may be an issue here), Sams, McAndrew, Green, Ferguson and Sangha.

Bit of a smokie and could be a bolter for round one if signed spinner Callum Stow.
Linked to Melbourne Renegades as a local replacement player for Nathan Lyon.
currently playing for Victoria in the Global Super League.
Past 2 games
3/15 (4) 104sc
1/17 (4) 68sc
Renegades normally like to play 2 spinners and only have Zampa atm (Lyon with Aus)

+ 1/23 (4) today v the Qalandars.
Only took 2 wickets in 6 matches in the Top End Series but cheap enough to start if necessary (I have too many bowlers I want to include already)
Think we might get quite a few cheapies starting Round 1 , just need to figure out the right ones to select onfield or bench
Renegades have a practice match on the 12th so they might actually finalise their Squad (did read weeks ago Crone & Harris were going to be 2)
Still think Rocchiccioli gets picked up by someone before the season starts.

Go early
Massive POD
I do like the Edwards & Johnson pick though.
Have too many bowlers I like but certainly looking at Johnson (& Abbott)
Liking Edwards , Kerr & Philippe as well
Waiting to see what happens with Hosein and if he is here sooner than expected.
Too many things still unanswered at the moment to lock in much at all

With many thanks to our friends from @HoneyballBBL
honeyball.com.au is their website
I won't be copying anything from their site articles anymore but they posted a article on December 3rd
Certainly worth following each day for the info/insights Ben and his team provide or becoming a member.
I even became a member so happy to give them a plug

If Rutherford isn’t playing to begin, I’d say Salzmann is a chance to start the season batting at 7 and sharing overs with Sams and the 3rd seamer.
@Herbie66 If Ferguson’s injury is significant enough to keep him out early, then having extra options via allrounders (or Jason Sangha) is going to be very important as none of our top 4 I mentioned earlier bowl well enough in T/20 to be relied on as a 6th option.
I don’t remember a season where we haven’t played the majority of games with 6 bowlers options. I doubt that will change this season.

I thought I read somewhere , possibly on SC Playbook that Salzmann hasn't been bowling and playing as a opener (will need to check).
Hopefully the WI announce that T20I Squad ASAP.
Also read somewhere that Hope would miss 3 rounds which probably opens up a spot for Doran/Owens/Wakim.
Maybe they sign a short term OS for Rutherford.
Certainly could see them playing 5-6 until he arrives , so that might only mean one spot for Gilkes/Konstas/J Sangha.
Imagine Bancroft , Billings , Davies & Warner would be locks.
Warner might want to bowl himself 😀
If Ferguson was ready to go would certainly make a very interesting POD to start.
