Interesting, thanks for letting me know.
My sense was that the toss and reported XIs are announced so close to game time that some sources (eg Channel Seven, and perhaps CricInfo/CricBuzz) may be somewhat forced to guess, rather than report, them.
I believe I have heard previously that the club ones on social media are the ones to follow, but based on your reply, it sounds like the number of “discrepancies” is fairly modest, and may even be driven by changes to the batting order, rather than an initial misreporting of the planned order.

I have choked 
680 with 5 to come (chaudhary VC) expecting to surrender my lead quite severely and will need a miracle to chase the leaders for the last round.
Well done to those on a big score this week though, done well

All you can do is reset for the last round.... embrace the carnage and hope for the best! You're not going to get every decision right, but you've obviously got right more then most. Back yourself!
You're (probably) not going to end too far behind the current number 2 (he's 677 with Owen C, Meredith, Chaudhary, Doran, Ellis and Johnson to play), and the current number 4 was 228 points behind you coming into this round. So while you'll drop, I'd expect you're going to be very much at the pointy end once it opens up tonight.
Work out a plan for the final round and give yourself some flexibility to get funky later on in the round if you need it. If tomorrow's game is a washout, there's going to be a lot of people who have to sell Thunder/Sixers players and will have to rely on Canes players to get a decent score.
Could get interesting if the Canes win tonight and tomorrow's game is a washout. They'd go into the final game knowing that top spot is guaranteed.

You should still be pretty close at the top with most of the threats depth not great coming into the round.

7/505 @ 56.1 PSI
Am I the only coach without a Captain's score yet...
There seems to be two distinct pools of scores posted thus far, the 'have' and 'have not', my team sits nicely in the latter.
My 2 Short's combined for 39 points so hopefully my 3rd INs tonight can do better than that, he may even get to wear the captain armband.
I knew that my approach for this round had the hallmark of going pear shape, but it has unfolded at the very extreme end of bad.
The only hope I have now is for the second part of my equation next round to come to fruition so I can at least end the season on a high.
Congrats to all our coaches with great scores this round, particularly those at the very pointy end.
Exciting times ahead, waiting for lockout to end tonight to see where you've landed, then putting your final touches on your plan to be the first to salute comes Sunday evening. Know that you've got the whole of SCS coaches waiting in anticipation of the thought of potentially crowning another SCS BBL champion!
