Unless there's something I'm missing, this strategy makes no sense. If you pick one straight up you might get the lower of the two, but if you bench both you definitely will!

Lesson learnt about worrying about team value during the year. Another round with my team stacked and 400 grand in the kitty. Thats with expensive players on the bench. If they were cheapies, id have 600k plus in the bank.
After the first three finals have been won by the team batting first, I wonder what decision will be made by the captain winning the flip?
So far the results at the MCG favour the team batting first: 4-2. The first two games at the G were won by the team bowling first but the next four by the team batting first.
Bowl first: 142-143 (18.5 overs); 145-148 (17.5 overs)
Bat first: 219-175; 141-131; 186-115; 142-99
The Stars are 2-2 bowling first; 2-0 batting first. However, they bowled first when they beat the Thunder earlier in the season.

Right at this point historical record and pitch is irrelevant in my view. If you were Callum Ferguson you would be crazy not to make the Stars chase and if you were Glenn Maxwell you would be crazy to elect to.
