I apologise for clearing the way for that, wasn’t expecting it to kick off in the direction it went.

Currently looking at this for my starting team:

Fletcher (Philippe)
Maxwell, Ingram, Jacks, Christian, Khawaja (Nielsen , Pfeffer)
D.Short, Zampa, Coulter-Nile, Hussain, Milne (Wildermuth, W.Parker)
Fletcher is interesting for me, the role should be there and hes reasonably priced for an international but the career record is underwhelming and he sat outside the top 10 run scorers in both the CPL and BPL, bit concerned we are getting a dud here.

Got Philippe there at the moment as he plays game 1. If he goes large as well as Christian and Jacks, I’ll probably move him on for someone else.

Can you convince me to pick Fletcher? Switching Inglis to Fletcher would free up the money I need and solve all my problems. :)

Without trying to seem offensive – [and here's a warning: some people will actually get offended... Just try to remember, it's merely an opinion] – I know why people suffer from depression nowadays... It's because they have a lack of truth. Understanding and believing the truth should never lead anyone into depression. In fact, it's actually sin that causes this anxiety.

You may think I sound arrogant, insensitive, ignorant, or stuck-up by saying this. You might say: "Hey, look at this stupid Christian here! As if he'd preach this "good-message"-crap to his face." Well, actually, I tell a lot of people this, and I get mixed responses. Some people cancel my right to a voice by blocking me; some people actually thank me for being so blunt. I'm just sticking by the saying: "The truth shall set you free!"
You have no idea

Not really in the business of convincing people. I provide information so people can decide for themselves.

Inglis is a quality opening stick and gets plenty of opportunities for catches due to the strong bowlers in his team.

Fletcher has been hit and miss but only needs to come off once during the double round for him to be worth it.

Both likely to open. I assume both will keep.

Are people starting Stoinis?
No news from the Stars camp yet.
I've got a team with, and a team without now.

Until we hear something, it's all speculative.

...but if his side has a niggle he could do damage batting - one six and it's over.

Would be pretty hesitant to loop 150K rather use that money on field.
I want him in my team for beyond round 3 where the doubles aren’t a factor. If he performs like I think he will at Blundstone for the first three rounds, could be an expensive practice getting him into my team.

Decide between Christian and Khawaja and slot him in as a batsmen? (It's what I'm doing to be honest Phillippe at Blundstone is a no brainer).

Or swap Wildermuth and Christian. Loop Jacks and Christian in different lines which was the original plan. Gets Philippe on field and keeps khawaja on.

Yes, mainly because he didn’t really bowl last year (ie he’s not overpriced if he can bat similarly well) and he has a DGR. He will likely be traded out after R1 as a funding source and because I don’t think he will quite replicate last years performance (which was outstanding).

Surely a side strain impacts batting? They all seem to play with it but it has to have some sort of limitation does it not?

Oh, I didn't know Fletcher was likely to open. He's a decent option then.

O.K., Toxic. XD

Given it’s been 10 days since it happened, if it was only a moderate strain, Stoinis is going to need at least another 4-5 days to even be close to ready to go.

Think they might rest him for the first two matches as there is a 4 day gap between their 2nd and 3rd game and give him a little time to get it right. It’s possible they even tell him to cool his jets until Boxing Day as that’s when the Stars 4th match is.
