You get Bird's 92 because Copeland didn't play?

I reckon you are 710.

Oh yes, you're right!

710 for me and 1400 place jump overall to 1228th overall

Will the Australian ODI players be released to play for the BBL club when their free? E.g first game is on the 12th then the 2nd match is on the 17th. Next Renegades match is on the 14th so any idea if Finch will be released for that?

I'm assuming Finch won't be released so am trading him this round. The ODIs are complicating things big time. I don't want a donut because I counted on a ODI player being released.

In hindsight taking Hales has complicated my R6 team and I should have looked elsewhere.

The big question for many this week is
Kieswetter or Whiteman x 2 ?

I can see this decision being worth 50 points potentially...

You have to go with whiteman but if he doesn't play again then it's a bit easier

 

[IDIG]

Been pleasantly surprised with my pick of Whiteman. Just started with both Scorchers keepers to ensure I had a donut and basement priced keeper and as it turns out Whiteman comes in at 4-5. Hasn't made too many with the bat though but with a DGW, i'm hopeful.

Following Hondo's thought process and trading Finch to March and Murali to Hogg.

 

[IDIG]

Hmm but Perth and Adelaide have a bye next week! There goes those trades.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Very happy to log on and see that my overall ranking is now 58

That included a Rimmington 0, Murali 12, and a -11 from Maddison.

 

[IDIG]

Ok revised trades of -
Out: Murali, Copeland
In: Floros, Hogg

Then next week Hogg/Whiteman out for Dunk/Bollinger for their DGW.

No donuts this week or next and a Finch up my sleeve.

Ripping stuff GG.

Yeah there's a cap in regards to how many Scorchers you can bring in particularly as you have Hales on the bye next round.

I think like me you also have M Marsh on the bye next round while Maxwell is playing ODIs

Are you expecting Finch back before BBL Finals? I assume he's done for the BB now unless they make the finals.

Your guess would be as good as mine but a few of the fellas here would have a better idea (than me anyway).

Reading this from Hodgey recently:

With Glenn Maxwell, James Faulkner and Clint McKay called into the Australian squad for this month's five-match one-day series against England, their depth will be tested.

"It's a pretty good side, absolutely. It's a well constructed side," Hodge said of the Stars.

"It's pretty hard to find a hole in it. But we'll lose a coupe of our players to the internationals, so that hurts us a little bit.

"That's what the competition is about, trying to use your players and maximise your squad.

"We got to the semi-finals last year and lost a pile of players and ended up losing.

"You can look at our side now, but its going to be different in a couple of weeks time."

It gives me the impression that they're expecting to be without their internationals so I guess by that we can assume Finch won't be available either?

 

[Hondo]

Well I'm losing Finch and McKay this round and will have to shed Maxwell next round all on the assumption they are done until finals. I'm still happy I took 2 of those 3 to start as they have made a nice amount of cash.

 

[Hondo]

The Scorchers have tweeted that S Marsh will miss the second match of their double. I assume NCN will be the same.

 

[IDIG]

Oh that would be annoying for owners!

Rethinking my decision to hold Finch now. Way too much coin to have sitting on the pine I think.

Hmm thanks for posting, I'm in a bit of a dilemma then. To trade Marsh or hold him, back him in for one good score tonight and trade other players.

 

[IDIG]

Yes, not sure with Shaun Marsh TBH

 

[Hondo]

I think this will catch out heaps of coaches out there. Probably not those near the top but plenty of others who will find big holes in their sides all of a sudden once the ODIs start. Plus next round is a bye for the Scorchers and the Strikers further complicating things.

 

[Bomber18]

I'm going to go Maxwell to Mitch Marsh, Mennie to Cutting.

Maxwell to Marsh gives me the cash to get a 5th premium bowler for my non playing rookie. I think it's worth it in the long run
