Test in Hamilton could finish early

Bethell arriving for the Renegades second game (Thursday) could potentially affect a few things

Thanks for that Herbie, I've got him now to loop in a Scorchers player if they do well so very relevant for me.

Lost 3 wickets since I posted that , minds might be on the 🛫 already.

Seen a few set-up with the Bethell & Hassan Khan on each line with Emergencies playing tonight.

A few probably could use Bethell as the captain option as well.

Jus use Lyon or Carlisle (Hurricanes) if you need a cheap bowl 🍩.

And a 4th wicket to be all out

New Zealand 347
England 143

Day 2 Tea

Pope here for the 17th , Duckett for the 18th

Surely not , Round 1 SC chaos at its best

Good heads up, thank you.

Mainly bad for Khan, I think (as the Bethell replacement)? Any other implications as you see it?

Stow is a smokie to play tomorrow night 😉

Personal opinion is the 3 of them arrive later than expected in any case but I guess we will just have to wait for the clubs to confirm when they have arrived

I doubt even if the test finishes tomorrow they would jump on a plane that day and play BBL here on 17th. Surely that's too tight turn around, even the 18th is probably a bit soon. The Thursday game may be a possibility though.

Who knows , see if NZ enforce the follow on and see what the score is at stumps

Thought it was worth flagging

Just need to react to any news that might come to hand.

New Zealand batting again probably wipes out a 17th arrival

Appreciate all the info you provide here, as do most others I'm sure. Keep it up.

Hopefully he goes home for Xmas and comes back in 10 days

 

[blue dreamer]

Konstas owners might need a rethink , sorry McSweeney you are out of your depth at Test level as a opener

$ 39,5 k so not hard to adjust

Unless you've spent the bank elsewhere

Good to see you playing BBL SC again , hopefully you learnt some good (and bad) things from when you ran the Group team and it helps you.

Air New Zealand /Qantas fly Hamilton to Sydney via Christchurch as well.

Or just drive to Auckland

Wish the Black Caps had sent them back in , we could have had some chaos 😀

I am sending the 3 of them to Queenstown for some R & R

Would make sense for Bethell to come back for Round 4.

They took a second string white ball side to the West Indies so not sure if he is in their India series thoughts (Duckett would be) so we still could see "workload management" appear

I have $ 191,200.00 currently in the Bank for a Round 2 shopping spree 🤗

Still thinking about my keepers and my final Renegade player.

I guess a lot comes down to how people are dealing with M Short

True.

I only have 28k and have all but given up on Short for the early season.

Unless I give Darcy a place for his double 🫣

Coming into my side for Round 2.
Hopefully the correct decision

 

[Game of Sloanes]

How many Stars/Renegades is too many?
I currently have 5 of each..

 

[Herbie66]

Coming into my side for Round 2.
Hopefully the correct decision

Have him , Allen x 2 , Inglis (?) , Overton , Thornton all on my shopping list plus a mystery option 😀 (Can't get them all obviously)

Hopefully I have made the right decisions/judgement re my starting side.

At the end of Round 1 when I am 40,000th I will probably say to myself "why do I even bother"

Fingers crossed I am well placed and can have a real crack at it (for once)

 

[UpaHeat1234]

Heres the team. Would appreciate any feedback on it as I am a a bit of rookie in bbl supercoach. Bit worried about not being well enough prepared for future rounds and Kahn playing both games.

Have decided to fade the wkp position to facilitate matt short and I'm open to any changes.

 

[Ironhawk]

Look at how many Strikers/Scorchers you will have in Rd 2, and how many 6ers/Heat for Rd 3 (to go with your 5 Stars). 10 DGR this round is great, as long as it doesn't impact too much on the next few rounds).
