I got lucky, 437 with 11 DGW's to go, Curran will get the captaincy. Sams might have got out of jail but I am not convinced. Richardson
will be a popular replacement if Sams continues to get belted and cannot bat apart from a slog which his opponents worked out last season.
He was only in for this round and it will get worse when Morris fronts up. Bens Beasts we are still in it mate if i continue to get lucky!
You’re gonna have to carry us this round mate. I’m having a shocker!

I think you need to look at the average from last season (although averages are not everything) of your C choice and double that , then see how much Cutting needs to score in his second game.

Fortunately for me , I won't be locking in Lynn's VC score.
The problem is that it is Cutting, so I’m not instilled with confidence that he score another 19 to get to 100!!
Given he is a bit unique I will probably lock him in.

I agree with the others, and you'd be crazy not to lock it in.
It sort of comes down, what were you looking for, before you'd lock it in?
I'd probably lock in something around 60-65+ from my VC tonight.
Unfortunately, my VC didn't even get close to that!

well he wasn't supposed to bowl ? , who would've thought after naming 5 specialist Bowlers , they used 6 hahaha , so very cheeky of them.

Ferguson is due extra points for somehow encouraging that flog Sams to get it together and giving him the last over for his morale.
BB you will come good later in the round and I will probably tail off, early days yet but I must admit it feels good getting it right so far in the first round after changing my team countless times. I only brought in Ferguson today, go figure.

Not a night for the expensive, Chris Green played the worst cricket I’ve ever seen to get 134 points. Thank god for the Ferguson pick. 304 points from 6 players. Surely Bryant and Lynn have a good bat against the Stars.

I watched a different game to you, Green took 2/17 or18, made some quick runs and took a couple of good catches with some dot balls the cherry on the top. Your a hard marker.

Six players totalling 338 and I pick the worst of them for the VC. Typical.

Sitting on 4 / 265 so far. Ferguson, Nair, Laughlin, Lynn (VC). Banton was going to be looped off the bench, but I think I will switch Philippe to WK, bring in another cheap batsman and get rid of Nevill. I have Heazlett sitting on the bench too for cash gen.

No idea who to use as captain now, as I'm not sure about the 6ers. Think it will probably be SOK. :confused:

Could be a lot worse by the look of it. Doubt I'll keep up a 60+ average per player for the rest of the round.

Not sure why people are not playing Banton... I reckon even if he gets 20 next game, 50 for the round is fine. I don't think any of my bench options will beat him!

Banton is going to go ballistic at some stage, I agree he is worth keeping on field Bomberboy. The problem is the cavalier attitude to wickets lost which is endemic from the top down in the heat squad. Look no further then Ferguson's innings as to how to overcome adversity to get a favourable result.

The only people I can see beating him that I can afford are Ellis and Sutherland. Not even sure they'll play or have a favorable team list by the time Nevill is locked out.

As a heat fan -> He hit two fours and a six with top edges (No idea how Bryant didn’t catch that). Did not middle a ball the whole innings. Even Laughlin middle a few. Then bowled a full toss that got caught, bowled against the heats inability to bat against spin (also bowled mostly against our 6-11), also did not turn the ball as a spinner but did a good ball against Steketee, was good in the field. Luck was not in heats favour and Green on stats alone performed as his five year contract would suggest however how he got those stats is more a reflection on Heats bad play.
