Roussow, Tahir, Wasim after Christmas... surely this means Nabi is being called up? Interesting to see what this means for the other Afghans in the league...
I thought Roussow is available for the whole tournament.

I am starting to think their could be a delay in Tahir's arrival.

Mmm ... hadn't looked there yet but would take it ...

- Looking at all other teams they "potentially" have gone very light in that spot .... Peirson cops an early injury etc and ?? until Banton arrives ...

Nice pick up !!
Are you looking for them primarily as the VC/C loophole option or to possibly play as well ?

I think we are all going to need a cheap "loophole" player ... so was looking on that perspective ...
- See lots going with Holt but aside from round 2 he is to me a wasted spot ...

- Happy to carry one 42k non playing player but two I just can't do .....
- A sacrifice of one PREM (got one in mind) could sure up my bench though with no potential donuts ... tough decisions ...

I think a lot just see Holt's price and go yes please without thinking it through.

The biggest concern I have with having a non playing bench keeper is if my onfield keeper misses a game unexpectedly and I have already used my trades so end up with a donut.

Problem with that though is Dunk , Gilkes , Gotch , Holt , Nielsen , Peirson all have questionable JS themselves so may not help if they are not playing.

Could "piggy back" them with Banton/Billings/Carey/Fletcher just in case but then not sure any of those will be Top scoring averaging Bats anyway.

McDermott is probably a waste of $$$ to leave at WK2 all season in case I need cover at all.

A couple of $ 42k bowlers I am keen on (if named Round 1) but may only play a few games so not going to make much money.

Otherwise just pay $ 62.5 k for a Scorcher from the start to use as a VC/C loop

Doesn't help WK2 though.

If they announce Stoinis is out for Round 1 , all the planning will be thrown out anyway.

A week to sort it all out.

Has D. Hussain been cleared to play first round? Encouraging to hear Hussey comment that they wanted to take advantage of the unknown
factor early on with Hussain. A repeat of Rauf may be too much to ask but who knows?

Yeah ... still got the PER Green in mind for the "loophole" (either him, Bryant, Hughes or Turner in my team) ... doubt he will get a Test gig but just a case of if CA want to see him sit out for 2 months sitting on the bench as a reserve ...
