How do the test guys coming back affect BBL teams?
Strikers - Carey comes back and takes the gloves (hurts Ollie Pope), slots into the top 6 somewhere in place of Weatherald? or Bazley (pushing Overton down to 7)?
Heat - Uzzie for Jack Wood, Marnus for Munro/McSweeney (only one game, so probably not to relevant)
Hurricanes - N/a
Renegades - N/a
Stars - Webster in for Rogers, with Harper to open? Webster at 7 (or 3
?). Will he bowl 4 overs (taking overs from Stoinis/Maxwell)? Probably depends on Lawrence/Curran.
Scorchers - as per last night
Sixers - Smith in as a straight swap for Vince. Abbott in for Kerr? then a straight swap for Hosein?
Thunder - Konstas comes in for Weibgen (opens, Davies back to middle order)?

If tonight's game is a wash out, where do people see Harper vs Billing's 20? Have the ability to take either before tonight's lockout.. if they look like getting some play tonight I think I'm leaning towards Billings, but if it's a complete wash maybe Harper. Hard to know for sure without knowing the Star's team for tomorrow. Harper has 3 scores of 41+, 3 scores of 14 and under, and a 28 which is bang in the middle, but probably leaning towards the potential upside given I'm only risking 20 points.
If tonight is a compete wash-out, I would go with Harper (I know he has the potential to be dropped, but it has not happened yet and not sure the stars have any other keeper options?), he only needs a couple of catches and some runs to beat out Billings.
If they do look look like getting any play tonight, I would probably just take Billings as he already has a head start of 20 points.

Bethell misses round 9, which presumably means Overton and Duckett do as well.

I think from memory the NOC Usama Mir had was up to Jan 15 , so Round 7 will be his last game along with Duckett (Stars with the Bye in Round 8)
If I have kept my notes up-to-date that means after the completion of Round 6 of the original 24 in the pre-signing and Drafted :-
8 have/will have departed
Then Duckett & Usama
Then Bethell & Overton
So 12 will remain (3 who didn't play in their sides last game , waiting for updates on Curran and Chohan must still be on his Contiki holiday)
And waiting for the Thunder to announce 2 new arrivals

That's how I see them lining-up. Overton can bat 7, and if it's like 10 ball to go, they can always move him up. Overs likely to be Thorton and Doggett 4. Overton likely 4 too. And then I'd assume Boyce and L. Pope each get 4, but if someone get's some smack, M. Short likely to bowl then
Heat: Usman - Alsop (WK) - Labs - Renshaw - Bryant - Walter - Neser - Bartlett - Johnson - Swepson - Kuhnemann
Like you said not overly relevant, but could still play some form of a factor though
Stars: Harper (WK) - Duckett - Stoinis - Webster - Maxwell - Cartwright - Curran - Mir - Paris - Steketee - Siddle
Overs wise it'll be difficult to tell. The Stars do have 5 up-front bowlers (Curran - Mir - Paris - Steketee - Siddle), but assuming 1 is expensive, one of Stoin, Maxi and Webster will bowl. However if Maxi or Webster are invited to the tour of Sri Lanka expect them not to bowl (I'm mainly talking about Webster, idk if Maxi gets a call). So proceed with some caution around them
Sixers: Smith - Philippe (WK) - Patterson - Henriques - Silk - Edwards - Dwarshuis - Abbott - Hosein - Bird - Murphy
There's a world where Patterson doesn't play, and Edwards moves to 3. However assuming Kerr comes in at 6 (Edwards at 3), I doubt Edwards gets many if any overs... Abbott will bowl 4. I assume the same with Dwarshuis and Bird. The spinners could get some tap, which would allow Edwards to bowl and over or two. But they've also got Kerr..
Thunder: Warner - Konstas - Gilkes - Davies - Billings (WK) - Rutherford - Green - Christian - Andrews - Ferguson - Agar
If tonight get's rained out, Ferg (and I believe Rutherford) won't be here for the next round. So they should be able to sign 2 Internationals, which I'd imagine straight up replace them.
That's how I'd imagine teams impacted by Test players line-up, but some orders may be off (Ie Stars, maybe Webster is at 3?). So yeah kinda hope that helps
Thanks
Would have expected Christian to be a lot higher especially once the final XI was announced , I guess not everyone can see starting teams all the time though

Welcome to the site
Hosein is leaving as well so that will affect the Sixers overs breakdown
