Nah Mackay barely got a game last year. He's clearly out of favour with Stars and Vic selectors. I'd be surprised if he played more than the 3 or 4 games he played last year.

For the record, my initial squad is

Hales
Dunk
Burns
Hussey
Reardon
Kallis (c)
Cutting
Berhrendorff
Cummins
Richardson
Beer

Maddinson
M Marsh
Hartley
Bollinger

I thought McKay played the first 4 games last year before being called up to the Australian side. It was only 4 games but I thought he played every game he was available for.

Obviously 12 months on if he is now out of favour last year means nothing.

McKay is out of favour with the vic selectors yes, but I still feel he has a spot in the stars bowling line up, just!

I was at windy hill on sunday for the essendon v greenvale game and he looked medium pace at best

 

[Hondo]

Well he plays two games in round 1 so maybe he's still worth the punt at that price. Might jag 4 wickets across 2 games, who knows.

Does anyone know if there's a website on the internet that shows past BBL fantasy scores and averages of players in previous BBLs?

 

[Hondo]

I googled today and found it somewhere

I think I ended up on a page on the ESPN website

Edit : try this

Thanks mate, that's quite a handy resource. Not quite what I was looking for in terms of BBL fantasy numbers, but this will probably be the best thing I'll come across. Thanks again!

I do know there is also a few sites that to team previews in the weeks leading up to the tournament that are also handy.

I've found one website that's already doing that! Pretty good stuff: http://overthelinesports.com.au/index.php/category/cricket/domestic-cricket/big-bash-league

Hopefully a few other websites do something similar in the next week or two.

Cheers for that mate, haven't seen this site before! Looks good and will keep me busy for the next few days as I start to plan my team (will have some spare time coz getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow)

Just had a quick look over some of there batsman ratings and prices for the first time, think theres a few blokes that should provide some value.

Surely Nic Maddison can't have as rough a run as he did in the BBL last year, looks good value.
Callum Ferguson as well from the Strikers could be a goo option, started the year in fantastic touch, and if he gets a crack up higher up the order for them could be a nice pickup.
Joe Burns also one who has started well again this year, provides some pretty good value and will bat quite high up in the order for the Heat.

Neither had I until a couple of days ago! It's certainly kept me busy since finding it, really good reading. Just waiting for the rest of the team previews to be released, the strongest lineup for each team is really handy.

Good luck with the dentist by the way!

White, Ferguson, Hussey, Klinger all look terrific value to me.

Should be able to go cheap in wicket keeper option too which means plenty of money for premiums in the all-rounder and bowler positions.

Haha I was going to keep him quite, however I knew he would be kept a secret for too long haha.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Shaun Marsh added to the test squad as a reserve batsman, most likely to cover Clarke if he doesn't come up.

Could play test cricket with his brother Mitchell.

 

[Hondo]

Hartley?

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Hartley?

Yeah.

However I think I read today or yesterday that Craig Kieswetter has also now signed with the Thunder.

 

[DeliciousJedi]

Yes but only when Morgan is called up for the ODI series. So you can start with Hartley nicely.

Combines with Whiteman, Nevill and the Heat's guys I don't think you need to go big.

 

[Hondo]

Yeah Hartley and Whiteman look a good stating duo although Wade at $66k looks solid also.

Oh that's good then, well that'll be handy coz he should open you'd think.
