Good start Goodies.

Speaking of Luderman I have him on the bench and currently Hartley on the pitch, if Luderman say gets 70-80, if I select a non playing keeper this week, will Luderman's score count?

I have never played BB fantasy before so am unsure how exactly the scoring works and replacement scorers.

What do others think?

Yes, if you bring in a keeper thats not playing then you will get Ludeman's score. Not sure if there is many donut options that are cheap though so you might struggle.

However if I was you I'd be doing all I could to find someone! hahaha

Anyone catch KP swear when talking to the commentators while batting?? After Pollard pulled out of the the delivery as he switched to a left handers stace old mate KP went on to call Pollard a "f***er". And then as you do hit his next 2 deliveries for massive sixes!!

Cheers Goodie's, I had better start looking then and quickly as Luderman is not showing too many signs of slowing down.

Thanks again!

Glad KP got a cheap catch there right near the end, a few more handy points.

Ludeman will be traded into a lot of teams that don't have come the end of round 1. Entertaining innings!!!

The plan was to load up with Stars players to capitalize on the double game.
Faulkner 6 (VC), White 6, Maxwell 7
Thanks guys!!

At least I had KP! I'll hope for better the next game. I'll definitely need to move in Ludeman at least onto the bench. Probably looking at Maxy, White, Hartley out next round.

Good night for me, just wish I had Ludeman as well to top it off.

Wright (C) 114, KP 90 and Richardson 67 gives me 271 from the first game, with my skipper and KP to play again this round.

Yeah, those two catches were awesome. Really loving India playing good attacking Test cricket. Two genuine pace bowlers, attacking captain and positive bastmen. Sense India best Test side being assembled ever. This Test is so even just like the end of the last Test. Gotta love it. Set up nicely to be a great Test. Smith yet to be dismissed in the series.
Concern from our end that so many players getting various levels of injury or soreness. I sense missing a week or two of cricket catching up with a few of them but most will pull through. Pity Shaun Marsh did not make the most of his first innings. Hopefully he goes a lot better in second dig. Hopefully Starc bowls better too. Rate him but did not bowl well. Hazelwood on other hand I've never rated particularly high but did well.

Welldone on the good start Goodies.

Me I have two rookie mistakes.

1. Although did have several Stars players, it did not click that I should have one of them captain so I get the captain score twice.

2. I have Luderman on the bench, so now to get his score I have to have a non playing rookie on the keeper position to get Luderman's score. Next problem is that I dont have enough cash to get a non playing keeper, I was $400 of getting Whitesman (not sure of his name, bit he plays for Perth). So now I have to swap Rimmington to Hilfenhaus or Cummins to free up the cash.

Oh-well we live and learn!

This is interesting...

The start of the Hurricanes season will also see a BBL first with the wicket-keeping duties for the Hurricanes to be shared by Tim Paine and Ben Dunk, both poised to put the gloves on throughout the season.
Both players met in the off-season and hatched a plan to share the job with the decision to who keeps to be made on a game by game basis.
"If anyone has sore fingers or sore hands we are lucky we have two guys who can do it," Paine said.
"I have always enjoyed fielding so looking forward to spending a bit of time out on the field."
Dunk said he will relish the opportunity to be behind the stumps for the Hurricanes and said his fellow keeper, Paine had been a fantastic mentor for his development as a wicketkeeper.
"We both want each other to succeed and he has been great in terms of guiding my wicket keeping.
"When I came to Tasmania, I was more of a stopper, he's turned me into more of a wicket-keeper and that's full credit to him, firstly as a coach and secondly as a person, to invest that amount of time into a competitor."
