I am actually curious to know.

You normally have very good ideas/thoughts playing this game.

Have been tracking David , Ellis & Jordan but probably thought their DGR was to far down the track so followed the AS/MR route.

Walter hasn't passed the eye test yet (to me) but still has the role so you would think a big score can't be to far away.

Didn't I read you also predicted Warner would go big this round as well ?
With me, it’s generally intuition on whether someone is about to score. Warner looked good last start and had been finding ways to get out. Knowing the way he is as a cricketer, he wasn’t going to fail again. Only reason I didn’t pull the trigger was because of Billings’ low BE and would be out of reach by the time the double rolls around. If I’d known the M.Short news earlier, I probably would’ve grabbed him over Bethell as I had 8 doubles (7 when you discount Scott) without him already.

I’ve been picking out guys I thought would score well earlier in the season and I was sick of not hopping on before their big scores (Vince was one I wanted when I saw him bat round 1, but went other ways with my structure which forced me to look elsewhere). Jordan was being picked by a mate and we’d been talking about him being very cheap for potential output a round earlier, so when I saw he was going for it I decided I needed to get ahead of the curve. Fortunately it’s paid off this time.

Hoping I can claw back some points in the last two games of the round, as I’ve had limited luck so far.

Expect Stoinis to go big as I benched him without the e to play Buckley as a donut for Zampa to count.

Also kept Edwards as flex over Stoinis.

Feel there could also be an unusual set of circumstances which will give Buckley a game from outside the squad tomorrow for less than 10 pts so that Zampa's points sit on the bench smiling at me.

You'd think with the swing on offer, you'd ease back on the pedal for a couple of overs wouldn't you?

Also, Bartlett and co are going to have fun tonight!
Bartlett will probably do too much in these conditions. Neser would’ve been disgustingly good had he been fit enough to play.

Stoinis probably bowls 2 before the 10th now. Might’ve been a mistake benching him for Walter.

Not the smartest batting you'll ever see
Ball was there to hit. If he sits back and just knocks the spinner for 5 an over they fall even further behind.

What I’m more upset about is they didn’t take the surge that over. Would’ve pushed Mir’s overs further back. When Walter was hitting them ok and on strike that was a crocker of a choice not to.
