Khan priced nicely and means I can bypass Zampa and save $50,000+ on a Stars spinner.

Like chalk & cheese

Zampa is a easy trade to Rashid/Siddle in Round 2.

from info I got today
Ingram - first 3 weeks - Malan misses the first 2 weeks so Ingram/Malan will be here for a few games
Jacks - Whole Season
Paul - likely Game two plus depending on WI team.
New signing (Sandeep ??) will be here for back end of the season.

With Paul named in the WI test squad, won’t he be unavailable until after the WI v NZ 2nd Test which ends on 15 December?

So he would miss the Hurricanes first 3 games at a minimum which includes their double.

Good lord

Then you get the whole can Rauf replace Steyn or Lamichanne situation ?

Surely if they have announced that Ingram is the replacement for Malan then the 2 of them can't play in the same game.

Otherwise just go down the IPL situation and allow 4 from 8 depending on conditions & match ups.

Not interested in Ingram or Jacks so won't really affect me.

Lamichanne will be a different story though.

Malan will probably suffer the Englishman batsmen BBL curse.

Thanks for the information.

 

[Herbie66]

Wonder who the Stars final international signing will be. I’m thinking a pace bowler is most likely. Is Steyn busy at the moment?

Pat Brown or Matt Parkinson 😀

Think they are only a short term replacement any way.

Has anybody got an estimate on what Alex Carey will be priced at?

I'd estimate $170,900 ... based on a 60 average during the Home and Away series last year and rounding down ...

Just those number of games played .. what was the injury last year or reason for missing games ??

@Goodie's Guns

Hi mate

Any word on if Coleman & Larkin are getting resigned.

Luke Wright as a short term replacement player ???

Cheers

9.5% ownership for Malan , what are people thinking ?

So even if Malan leaves South Africa on the 2nd December , given he has to quarantine for 14 days he definitely misses out on their DGR in Round 2.

Stars is the only other Squad that has room for local players apart from the Strikers , maybe Carey is heading their.

I think that’s 5 wicket keepers on their list if so!

I think we held this conversation 24 hours ago.

But correct Bairstow , Carey , Dunk , Gotch & Pooran possibly , although their has been a tweet where the Stars CEO has denied they are signing him.

I can't see him going anywhere TBH .... batting line up at ADE looks too light without him ...

Yeah, is it a money thing? Stars have 3 spots left, Strikers have 6, so seems likely he remains. I think previous posts have confirmed he's not going to the Stars.

 

[Connoisseur]

My thinking too.

Subject to change, but my Stars players are likely settled for RD1- M Stoinis, G Maxwell, NCN, Z Khan and B Stanlake.

 

[Herbie66]

The wicket keeper spot looks quite difficult to me.

Wade, Bairstow, Billings, Banton - Not available.
Pooran - unclear but doesn’t sound like he will be available.

Leaves:
Inglis - Should definitely open first few weeks but maybe goes down to 3 if they go with the two English openers? Breakout season last year. Is he worth 160k, especially with no doubles early?

Phillipe - Lock to open. Another young developing player, but seems prone to some lower scores in comparison to Inglis who seems more consistent. Can go massive. But again, 150k? I’d be shocked if he isn’t cheaper prior to his double.

Harper - Has to be some question marks over his spot in the batting order. Does Harris make the 11? He’d be my pick if opening but every chance the gades to Finch/Harris/Marsh/Roussow/Webster. Seems risky - especially playing last round of round 1.

Handscomb/McDermott - Cheap and double early. But where do they bat? If opening or at 3 they seem to be worth the pick, but are they worth it at 4 or 5?

Bancroft - cheap, but for a reason. Does he come in at 3 until Roy/Livo get here or does he still end up further down the order? Not too confident in him.

Gotch/Dunk - early double and re-evaluate? Or is it going a player just because they have a double.

At the moment I’m leaning to whoever is the highest up the order from the Canes, but man it seems slim pickings. That’s just the starter too, the reserve spot ain’t easy either imo.

Great summary

I guess the advantage of starting Phillippe (providing he matches his form of last season) is that it saves you a trade for their DGR in Round 6.

Depending on how many Sixers/Renegades people want that round you could probably bring in 9 in Round 4 - 6.

Just looking at their starting prices

Nabi (should still be here) , Finch , Tahir , Pattinson (Test Squad) , Richardson (?) , Rossouw , Marsh.

Abbott (Test Squad) , Curran , Starc (Test Squad) , Brathwaite , Dwarshuis , Phillippe

are all $ 150k +

Will take some doing to get 8-9 of them.

With the Renegades having Nabi , Rossouw & Webster surely they open with Finch & Marsh.

I am leaning to loopholing McDermott and if that doesn't work playing Gotch/Dunk probably due to their DGR but I can see them creating problems.

With wanting to start Maxwell , Meredith , Short , Stoinis , Zampa + Renshaw/Wells on the bench , I am struggling $$$ wise so in the end I could just go Gotch/Dunk with Nielsen/Holt on the bench

Then aim for Carey Round 3 and turn him into Philippe if necessary.
