So without seeing your team, it is basically 111 v Overton + Jordon? Where is Chaudhary, or who do you have instead on your bench?

On averages, Overton & Jordon could get you 124 points. Using the 55 rule, you should be aiming for 110 points from the two scores.

So very close, I would trust your gut on that call.

Things to note: Hobart has the lowest average wickets fall of all the grounds in the second innings even though they bowled the Sixers out last game. It also sounds like some light showers are possible, so consider that closer to game time.

More Round 6 related but probably the best thread to post it in as the other one is In Game discussion

Test finishing today

Tomorrow (BH v ST) probably to early but I wonder who is released and available to play :-

Tuesday PS v MR
Wednesday ST v HH
Thursday MS v SS

Strikers with the Bye

Might affect starting XI's / structures and upcoming trade plans

May as well make it easy for people

Monday = Khawaja , Konstas , Labuschagne
Tuesday = Lyon , Marsh , Richardson
Wednesday = Konstas
Thursday = Abbott , Boland , Smith , Webster

BYE : Carey , Head

NA : Cummins , Starc

Batters are probably more likely with the bowler carnage so far.

That Strikers line-up will be interesting if both Carey and Head eventually get to play

Short , M (if fit)
Short , D - > Head
Lynn
Pope , O
Ross
Overton

Carey could come in for Pope , O or Ross

Games on Jan 11 & 15 are both at AO so you would think the Strikers would want them to play both.

Jan 18 in Perth might be to close to departure for the Sri Lanka series

Head just said he's looking forward to 10 days off, so not sure he's BBLing.

Hi Thanh

Do we still use this thread for Round 6 news as well ? (or does this get closed and a new Round thread opened)

Just checking where everything should be posted.

Should get the Heat and Thunder Squads (start of Round 6) soon

Cheers

Definitely seems lineball, hadn't really expected bethel to score 111


Yeah so basically i'll need to drop a playing player to take bethels score, hence doran coming back into the lineup form the bench.

Gut call says be defensive and lock in points wherever i can given the carnage of this round, Nagging uber aggresive thought is that i'm already behind pretty much every other team anyway, and given i'd have 3 guys on zero + the likes of ferguson&JFM in my starting 12 that it may be better to roll the dice a bit harder on another scoring outlet.

Chaudhary is the in that can swap to jordan should i want a starting bowling option

Yes as per my opening post in this thread.

There's a dedicated Squads and Team Line Ups thread where you can go and check as required, one of us will add to that thread as the information becomes available. You can post that type of information on this thread should you wish to do so, provided that it hasn't already been posted by another member, otherwise it will get deleted to avoid duplication.

This newly created additional thread to supplement the existing BBL|14: Teams & In Game Discussion will hopefully makes finding relevant information easier for our coaches.

Title and VC/C poll will be updated prior to each round so no need for new thread every round.

Please be mindful of this change when posting to keep things relevant to the thread's title.
