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
Yeah Honeyball confirms Jan 15 for Mir.

There's a few that are jetting off to other commitments, it'll be interesting to see if any of them leave before the end of the regular season, owing to the fact that their team is out of contention (just to throw another curve ball at us).

With the UAE and SA leagues about to start, I wonder if they are even looking for o/s replacements?

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
I'm not sure they go down that path again. From what I heard it was more related to Webster jumping off a plane and them being overly cautious. Otherwise they'd be pulling guys like Murphy, Kuhnemann and Abbott from games.

No Curran again for the Stars (Duckett named although he has a ILT 20 contract as well) , wonder if they just send him home.

Billings , Curran , Jordan , Seifert were the 4 that they said they would remain for the entire competition.

People shouldn't get caught out though with the amount of information being provided re the OS departures and availability of the Test players

So the 8 from the pre-signing and Draft that have/will have left by the end of Round 6 are :-

AS - Allen
HH - Hope & Waqar
MR - Evans
SS - Hosein & Vince
ST - Ferguson & Rutherford

Note : not including short term replacement players

Thunder could get interesting , play Game 1 in Round 7 , 8 & 9

Warner
Konstas
Gilkes
Davies
Billings (WK)
Rutherford 🛫 after this Round , replacement 🤔
Green
Christian
Andrews

Ferguson 🛫 after this Round , replacement 🤔
Agar/McAndrew

+ Hatcher & Weibgen in their Squad tonight

They have 23 listed in the SC game itself including Maddinson

Bancroft - injured (out for season)
Gray
Hadley
Maddinson - injured (out for season)
Nikitaras
Salzmann
Sams - injured (was mandatory 12 days)
Sangha , J - injured
Sangha , T - injured

The 5 bolded ones are the LRP's
Add Garton & Hasnain

If they keep playing 2 spinners does DC keep his spot ?

Agar or DC or McAndrew as the 5th bowler

Or do they go back to 5-6 ?

I gather they won't use averages from when they last played so expect $ 152k or $ 117,5 for both.

From memory Garton was DPP last time

Didn't pump Hasnain pump out a 100+ on his first game v Strikers ?

I know I mentioned him countless times and then didn't pick him 😢

Triple wicket maiden , Abood also reported him that game from square leg

Sixers v Thunder in the final round , see what Henriques has to say this time

Thunder have played two spinners forever, so I'd be surprised if they stopped now.

Warner, Konstas, Gilkes, Davies, Billings, Garton, Green, Sams, Andrews/Sangha, Agar/McAndrew, Hasnain

DC goes back to coaching until the next injury?

What about what Hasnain has to say?

I thought it was a mandatory 12 days for Sams so he won't be back SC wise

But 5-6 certainly looks a better balanced side

I am not sure what language Hasnain speaks , be interesting to see how much his action has changed

Billings > Alsop - Keeping to one of the better pace attacks
Connolly > Webster - Great to see him back at 3 and bowling again.
Turner > Bethell - Back at Marvel and may get some more overs

Keeping Edwards over Connolly with a chance at scoring from 24 deliveries. Patterson probably drops down the order if game is shortened and could be a promotion to Edwards.
