Landed on this after many changes with $17,800 in the bank,



Only two spots up in the air still are Edwards and Seifert, they’re both easy switches to Webster if he’s available. Bethel or Doran will be my loop for round 1.

I’d also like another scorchers bowler in my flex but I don’t want to lock that position out just yet otherwise I can’t take all of my emergencies.

Fading M Short Round 2 I take it ?

Seifert , Hassan , Rogers possibly buys a Inglis , Tye , cheaper Striker bowler

Round 3 might be a concern 💰 wise though

Don't mind it though

Anyone open this one ? re Hardie

Otherwise I will do the archive paywall thingy when I get to the library

Definitely fading Short round 1 to have a look at the bowling mix but I’ve got a plan to bring him in if I absolutely have to.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but the Sixers preview is up on cricket.com.au

BBL|14 preview: Strategic signings complement Sixers stability | cricket.com.au

Of note:

"I'll (groin) be fine for the first game to bat and bowl as long as nothing happens in the practice games. Ben Dwarshuis (pectoral) is travelling really well, we were both supposed to play club cricket last Saturday but it was rained out. He'll play in the practice games (an intra-squad and against Adelaide Strikers). I faced him at training a couple of times in the last week or two and he's flying.

"He's a little bit ahead of Hayden Kerr (hamstring) but Hayden is going to play in the practice games as well, but we'll have to keep monitoring him as he hasn't played at all yet this season. But he's expected to be right to go for the first game and the same with Daniel Hughes (elbow) – it's looking like everyone should be available for the first game and if not, the second."

I do love a good plan 🤗

Murphy locked in from round 1 is significant too. I read elsewhere that Henriques has said that Akeal will likely replace Chohan once he’s available. So looks like Murphy will remain in the XI pending form of course.

Could be a cheap bench option with an early double to come.

My memory of Murphy is that he often doesn't bowl 4 overs... but I could be misremembering

 

[Herbie66]

is Abbott still in Brisbane or Sydney ?

Wife had a baby on Wednesday

Inglis was still with the Squad on Thursday

Australia XI for third Test: Usman Khawaja, Nathan McSweeney, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Mitch Marsh, Alex Carey (wk) Pat Cummins, Mitch Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood

 

[Herbie66]

The Hurricanes are full of Beans following new replacement signing! The Hobart Hurricanes can announce today their latest signing with Queenslander, Marcus Bean signing as an injury replacement player for BBL|14.

Replacement for Wright

 

[Herbie66]

Liam Scott has signed on as a local replacement player ahead of BBL|14!

local replacement player (LRP) for Travis Head ahead of BBL|14.

May have been a result of SOK being their number one local spinner perhaps?

Just had a look - 19 overs in 9 games last season. Very good ER (6.15!) but wouldn't get the credit for it very often on those numbers.

Webster firming for game 1 on the back of the Inglis news?

 

[mike89]

Well that sucks. Maybe I'll end up with Harper after all 😬

If Webster is available, then Harper may not even be in the XI.

 

[Brendan12]

Just gonna go Phillipe I think. One of the best keepers in it, double round 3, got the cash there

 

[Herbie66]

From The West Australian article re Inglis

Voges also indicated nationally-contracted quicks Lance Morris and Jhye Richardson have not been given the final tick of approval to play.

are CA serious !!!!!

Boland is the spare , Abbott & Doggett are/were with the Test Squad

how many more bowlers do they need in cotton wool in case the Big 3 all get injured at the same time ?

bloody joke

standard OS players in the BBL again and they still believe it is the second best T20 domestic tournament in the world

seriously

let the players actually play
