649 (Stoinis)

Sutherland 166
Dorff 99
Christian 83
Warner 70
Stoinis 57x2
Edwards 48

Billings 20
Philippe 18
Patterson 18
Green 10
Bethell 3
Connolly 2

Real round of two halves. Sams injury really hurt because I elected to hedge by using all three trades on Thunder (Warner and DC were my second and third choices, so that actually worked out pretty well). Unfortunately pretty much every other alternative trade in also went well so most people will be set up a trade ahead of me for upcoming rounds and won't have lost points as a result.

 

[Diabolical]

874 Webster

Fingers crossed, top 100 here I come

Seriously though, I can see some big scores from some SCS coaches who are already in there. Don’t let me spook you, and keep playing your own games to keep it going!

 

[Miller is a Steele]

9/626

Billings, Agar, Warner, Green VC 🍩x4

Well that’s a shame. Would likely have benefitted from play today. Happy I didn’t overcommit and go for 5-6 Thunder, although 1 of them would’ve been Ferguson.

Stoinis and Edwards to come. One of these 2 will be captain. Wait for the teams to come out and see if Stoinis should get a bowl. Ideally we know beforehand if Webster is allowed to bowl or not. Even if there’s no official word maybe someone who is going to the game can see if he is bowling in the warmups? The squad for the Sri Lanka tour is supposed to get announced tomorrow so that should give a fair indication anyway.

779 Edwards

Stoinis 57
Edwards C 48x2

Stoinis great with the ball today after his first failure with the bat. Edwards did well in the bowling innings and had a great opportunity to make a quick 20 but fell for 9. Would’ve been incredibly handy. Still not happy about his dismissal. Wasn’t all that conclusive and I’m a fan of “benefit of the doubt goes to the batter”, but there’s every chance my Edwards captaincy tinted glasses were swaying me to that conclusion!

The Edwards v Stoinis captaincy choice only cost 9 points. The real jackpot would’ve been if I went through with Sutherland.

Feel like it’s an above average score. Good for the top 10/20/50/100/etc. hopes, but took a hit in the 1st overall aspirations as I see @Dravid with a mammoth 916! So I’ll be a minimum of 137 (was 66) behind 1st overall since we were tied for 5th. Well done mate! Don’t want to go the early crow but I’d assume you’d be number 1 and probably have some cushion too.

 

[The Myth]

810 Webster.

Few good rounds now have been strung together. Only 2 in the scorchers and Sixers game, so hoping I’m well set up this week.

 

[Herbie66]

Was hoping for more 😉

813 Christian

Sutherland 166
Rogers 119
Abbott 99
Christian 83 x 2
Neser 68
Renshaw 63
Stoinis 57

Agar 24
Billings 20
Philippe 18
Dwarshuis 13

Interesting decisions coming up , 3 Sixers and 1 Scorcher , with a few underperformers I don't really want to field

 

[Dravid]

916 (Ferguson)

This far up the pointy end I'm not sure where I'll end up.

Now to get my head around the next round. Another single game round with rain around!

 

[THCLT]

780 (Ferguson)
12 SI @ 65.0 (53.9 season)

Happy with that score considering I had 5 Thunders, 3 Hurricanes and Curran MIA meant I had the bare XI playing.
Decided to take on the rain with my trades in the opening game of the round which hamstrung my team in the end but not a complete disaster.

Great to see a core group of SCS coaches at the pointy end and doing well this round. Exciting times ahead for the remaining third of the season.

 

[Diabolical]

916 (Ferguson)

This far up the pointy end I'm not sure where I'll end up.

Now to get my head around the next round. Another single game round with rain around!

HUGE!!! We might have a new leader. 🤞

 

[Melmo]

622 Dwarsh. Picking Jordan over Stoinis 2 rounds ago continuing to haunt me, especially considering I Had to cop a donut with 3 hurricanes players. Bethell and Bartlett as trade ins no good either. Onto the next.

 

[Professor]

819(Warner)
Couldn't have asked for a much better game to end the round, Maxwell 113, new recruit Abbott with 99, new recruit Webster 59 and Edwards with a respectable 48. Was counting on Brown to play to get 11 because of having 4 canes, so very thankful that I could not only hold pace but potentially have a good rank improvement.

Warner 140(vc)
Rogers 119
Maxwell 113
Abbott 99
Zampa 87
Johnson 81
Webster 59
Allen 49
Edwards 48
Agar 24

Great score Max, hopefully we can get another win, my score was a little underwhelming.

that's more like the Herbie we know!!

 

[Boomerstar08]

672 (Connolly...)

Yeah I had some good scores; Sutho (166) - Dorff (99) - Rogers (119) - Ferg (86) - Johnson (81) however... the likes of Connolly (2(x2) 4) - Bethell (3) - Philippe (18) - Turner (8) - Wes (24) and Green (10) doesn't help one bit.

Feels a bit unders, but not overly sure, hopefully can go larger at the back end of the season and rise up the ranks

 

[Under The Dome]

The Stars finish the season with the Renegades @Marvel and Hurricanes @MCG

Decent chance to win both those.

 

[Pacifico]

789 Neser

Happy enough with that given I only had 11 players this round,
moved from 352 to 219

 

[Ben's Beasts]

Open

 

[mike89]

@Dravid is indeed first - with a lead of eleven

 

[Ben's Beasts]

Five SCS members in the top 7 with @Dravid number 1! 😱

 

[Rowsus]

Rowsus: 626 - Warner - 25th to 114th

Wife: 770 - Warner - 537th to 366th
