7/306 - assuming a 4 drops out (Agar or Zampa)

Bethell 111
Stoinis 59
Rogers 29
Sutherland 16
Zampa 4

Overton C, Lynn, O.Pope, and Thornton to come.

Bethell’s role is ridiculous for his 100k price tag, stoked to have him as a POD. Stoinis’ SR bonus falling late in his innings wasn’t ideal. Good knock though. Rogers, Sutherland, and Zampa all not good. A few instances that went against them, notably Rogers dropping Maxwell off Sutherland. Thankfully all are relatively popular.
595 Overton

Lynn 74
O.Pope 68
Overton C 60x2
Thornton 27

Lynn excellent again. Shame he got out on 49 but if I’m being honest I didn’t expect anything in this fixture. Doesn’t like facing express pace early on and the Canes have Meredith and Stanlake. Didn’t field due to an abdominal issue (got hit while batting) but he did push on after getting hit until he got out. Every chance they just didn’t want to field him because he’s a shocking fielder! Pope solid with the bat and a cheeky 2 stumping were gold. Overton had a shocking game but he still managed to get 60. Lucky there isn’t negatives for bad economy. Thornton bowled poorly upfront and jagged a junk wicket late.

North Melb.
311 Sutherland

Game 1: 0/0; Edwards, Kerr (bench), Renshaw (bench), Dwarshius (bench), Shaw (bench)
Game 2: 2/17; Billings, Agar (v)
Game 3: 5/166; Maxwell, Stoinis, Sutherland (c), Brown, Zampa, McKenzie (DNP)
Game 4: 4/128; Overton, Chaudhary, Thornton, Doggett

Truly awful round especially given 60 of those points will cost me 60 to most of the field. Washout was costly because it forced me to field too many low floor players and they duly delivered on that potential. Sutherland (c) was an attempt to rescue my round and thought him against the brittle Stars was a good chance to outscore Overton in Hobart and I was nearly right given Jamie could have been out 3 times in his first 6 balls and got carted. However those sort of Hail Mary’s never work out for mere mortals like me. The final nail in the coffin was changing my trade of Renshaw > David to Walter > Chaudhary 3 minutes before lock out.

I off to kick the cat.

I wouldn't be surprised if Lynn just took the fielding innings off.

Reminder that even in a normal SGR, 55 per SI (game winning pace) puts you at 715. Now add in the washout and some really poor scores from the two teams on the last double (and the next double) and that's a recipe for a low scoring round.
Or even 660 given one score drops out.

Especially when the washout came from 2 teams coming off a DGR. Would have been worse if it wasn't the first game!

Yeah I’m not at all. Can recall him sitting out fielding innings multiple times before and then getting up for the next game. Has a cooked shoulder and just sits at short fine/short third all innings. It’s not a soft tissue injury so I’m not going to stress on whether he gets up or not for the next game, they don’t play until Saturday anyway.
