Rowsus: 1,231 - Owen
Wife: 1,109 - Owen
Coming into tonight's game, the Wife had me on toast!!!!
The equation was:
Rowsus: Jewell + 90
Wife: Wade + David + Meredith
I wouldn't have backed myself to win with phony money!!!!
And yet, I beat her by over 100! Jewell 116 v her 3 totalling 69!!!
The Wife traded Green + Overton, and benched Johnson for D Short.
She could have cracked 1,300 with a few different calls.

1309 Owen
Owen C 105x2 (219x2)
Ellis 86 (143)
Chaudhary 55 (122)
Doran 18 (25)
Wade 15 (81)
Meredith 13 (101)
Owen excellent as captain. Never imagined him bowling so many overs, blessed. Ellis with a lot of junk. Chaudhary batted well, can’t say I was too upset when he got out though! Doran and Wade didn’t have an opportunity. Meredith dreadful but did excellently last game.

1387 Chaudhary
Game 1: 1/154 - Green (e taken), Billings (e)
Game 2: 2/654 - Bethell (e taken), Owen, Meredith, Chaudhary (v taken), Ellis, David, Sutherland, Zampa (excluded)
Game 3: 3/224 - Overton, Shaw, Edwards, Doggett (bench); Kerr (bench)
Game 4: 5/355 - Owen, Ellis, Chaudhary (c), David, Meredith
Great round where pretty much everything went right in what has been a very frustrating season to date. Unfortunately, I think I will still be a bit behind the Owen captainers. However I was a $200 and Jordan selection away from not having him at all. Still don't quite understand how Chaudhary goes from 5th/6th Cane bowler to 7th falling behind Owen and David when they pick one less front line bowler and Owen goes from not bowling a ball to the 5th/6th.

Thankyou and my pleasure, but my next word of wisdom is don’t always follow my advice! 
However, learn from your mistakes. A lot of great batters say they never want to get out the same way twice. Same goes for SuperCoach. If you try something and it goes against you, tweak your approach for next time. Taking the same approach and hoping for more “luck” (or less “bad luck”) is not the way to go. It is a game of percentages, so play them with head, not heart!
BBL is much more volatile when it comes to scoring than other SC sports. Therefore it is more important to weigh up risk, and I have found that opportunity (player role and scoring opportunity) outweighs individual player skill … well at least until I get better at picking the eyes out of player form each game!
I hope that you take the time to review your team and learn from mistakes, and if you do, I really hope you win it three times!

1085. Will take it but a little bit frustrating not captaining Owen. I started with him, had been keen on him all season, and had the VC ready to go on him this round. That was until I saw that first lineup where it looked like Chaudhary would bat 4 and bowl 4. Still think I made the right play, because I didn’t think Owen would bowl, but I just wish I’d kept backing him in!

966 - Meredith
Was happy with performances from; Overton - Johnson - Green, however the likes of; Philippe - M. Short (did drop out) - Sutho - Rogers (though kinda blame Sutho) probably let me down a bit.
On the double I had; Wade - Meredith - Chaudhary (did have Jordan, but traded him out)
All in all seems like a pretty solid week, hopefully can crack back into the top 1K this week.
