Very happy with my score this round, 859. Moves my overall ranking up to 127 and only 296 points from first. With a game like this where we have a rolling lockout, DGW and VC, C scores that can be looked at and assessed I'd like to think I am still in the hunt for a good overall finish.

Going well Goodies. In the hunt.
How about these trades.
OUT - Shah, -20 this round. ha ha. IN - Bopara. (sixers double up )
OUT - McDermott, disappointing so far. IN - Hazelwood. (sixers double up)

Yeah not bad mate, Shah has to go and Hazelwood has looked very good so far + Bopara has been bowling his full quota of overs as well as batting top 4 or 5.

A week is a long time in fantasy cricket it seems. Me and Creeker off the bottom!

Update after round 3 with GG and Hondo setting the early pace.

 

[IDIG]

Lol me too. Just traded out Hodge myself haha

692 and 150 point loss for me this week.

Oh wait with all my loopholes, 692 wasn't my final score lol

847 for me which was enough to get me a draw in my league match!

Squads for tonights game...

Brisbane Heat -
JA Burns, DT Christian, BCJ Cutting, CJ Gannon, NM Hauritz, JR Hopes*, C Kieswetter†, CA Lynn, AC McDermott, LA Pomersbach, CJM Sabburg, MT Steketee, DL Vettori

Sydney Sixers - RS Bopara, TA Copeland, MJ Cosgrove, JR Hazlewood, MC Henriques*, JK Lalor, B Lee, MJ Lumb, NJ Maddinson†, MJ North, SNJ O'Keefe, JC Silk, DLR Smith

I'm on a tight Big Bash budget so:

Cooper to North (can't afford Bopari)
Sandi to Copeland (can't afford Hazelwood/Lee)

Just read Vogues back means Armstrong (Perth) out and Buttler the Englishman won't play anymore in BBL LOL double ouch for me!

 

[Creeker]

Capt on Paine - not playing. ( Kieswetter on the bench )
Which sixers player for the Vice Capt. Bopara, Hazelwood, Henriques or Maddison ?

I'm thinking Maddison or Henriques as VC.
For me to be able to play Henriques I need to bench one of Maxwell or Wright. Thoughts???

Strewth mate. That is an issue. Mind you that's a good problem to have.
Think you really have to play Henriques to double up on points but you just have to flip a coin to see who you drop.
Can't really give advice on this one, I'd just be guessing. Go with your gut feel.

Tough call.

Maxwell gets points fielding (a lot) and bowling, but it's where Maxwell bats that impacts his score. Last night Maxwell didn't get a bat as their batting line up is so strong and on paper, they appear to be the Hawthorn of the BBL. Got no idea which one to bench, guess you have to work out where you think they will bat.

Since everyone appears to be going Bopari, Maddison, Henriques as vice, I might just go North as a POD (which will probably be a negative POD) LOL

 

[Hondo]

I don't have any current known donuts so I have to back in a Sixer as C from the get go. I am thinking Henriques which means I bench Maxwell as M Marsh plays the Thunder at home.

Heard last night that the renegades were hopeful of Buttler playing one more game this round so might be worth holding on.

 

[Hondo]

Actually now I type that I wonder if I should hold onto Doolan and keep a donut.

Yeah possibly a good idea, but do you have Marcus North??
Cheapie who has only played 1 game so far, bats 3 and with the Sixer DGW may be worth getting on.

Cheers for that, that would be handy as they have the bye after his game too.

 

[Impromptu]

Copeland NOT named!

 

[IDIG]

Omg just logged on and quickly traded, please tell me Bopara and Hazelwood are playing

 

[Goodie's Guns]
