Seems like a wasted trade in, if you plan to immediately loop him on the bench. Better to bring in players you are happy to field.

Emergency is their for a reason this season , so why not use it ?

Especially if you are playing 3 donuts.

I actually had that same feeling about if I am trading a player in I should trust him onfield , but why not have a look when you can ?

 

[Sideshow Bob]

DC scores poorly after a great game.
84 then gets 21 next game
121 then gets 35 next game
117 then gets 3 next game
142 then...

thanks yeah kind of what i was thinking but when you see that quite amazing.
Bison seems the best fit I think.

 

[Tamuhawk]

Rashid Khan is listed as being 22 years old.

If that’s accurate, he could still be playing BBL in 15 years’ time.

Started as an 18 year old in BBL07 so that's accurate. Can't wait to still be picking him in BBL25.

 

[Woosie]

Loved Rashid even before he played BBL , still didn't think he bowled his absolute best this campaign.

Think his length was not quite as good as in previous seasons.

Still 50% of the batsmen have no idea , don't they watch vision.

The scarey thing is he was saying their are another half a dozen spinners just waiting for their chance to play Big Bash as well.

is it me or is Khan falling over too much, dropping his head more than he used to? ...bowling a lot of short balls

Thought about his bowling earlier - agree, still brilliant!

 

[Herbie66]

To Rauf and Spiceman when many won’t, could turn your season.

I’m just not sure which way?

It’s a fine line between genius and insanity!

With the right loops you could , as you mentioned before with Spiceman as WK (pity I have Bertus who plays second).

If Zahir is named I am sure people will loop so why not with Rauf as well.

Use the Emergency to benefit.

 

[Erek22]

Hopefully NCN back for the next one and Maddison gets an over or two.... and please no spice man opening.

 

[Herbie66]

expensive loop for someone who's also on the way down. Stoin / Maxi / Zampa might be enough stars for me the way they travelling.

You just know 1-2 of the second tier players will have a great round , no idea who.

Didn't you loop Stoinis tonight ?

 

[Young gun]

4/254 with looping in Stoin, wont take VC Maxi but for the record would take any of the other 3 60+

C to either Christian or Bison, leaning Marsh with no Munroe he probably bats 4? What are the odds DC going big again?

Clarke will be a straight swap and batted above Marsh earlier

 

[Johno69]

Larkin was a smart choice , coming off a good score , negative BE , playing the first game so opportunity to loop off the bench.

Smart trade.

I wanted Marsh , Tye & Zampa this round so didn't consider Larkin personally.

I waited on Zampa, Herbie. Straight swap for Khan next round and depending on how he looks, Sams and Owen for coin.

 

[Herbie66]

Thought about his bowling earlier - agree, still brilliant!

He said at the start of the tournament he has a new mystery ball so it might be the one where he falls away.

His length definitely looks different and seems to be using the crease more as well , width.

Just from watching.

But yes still brilliant.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

You just know 1-2 of the second tier players will have a great round , no idea who.

Didn't you loop Stoinis tonight ?

yes only because its the only loop I could play for the round, was hoping for a duck to catch everyone else.

 

[Darkie]

My Rashid to Stoinis trade was a dead heat points-wise, but I’ll take that as a win, being short a player of Rashid’s quality on his home deck in his farewell game.

It does save me around $32k in cash gen, which should be very handy.

 

[Herbie66]

I waited on Zampa, Herbie. Straight swap for Khan next round and depending on how he looks, Sams and Owen for coin.

I actually couldn't find a third I liked this round , almost took a punt on Cartwright.

So thought I may as well just do Zampa now.

Gives me another look at Rauf or Roy or go cheaper to Livingstone/Zahir.

Really tempted to get Sams instead of a DGR.

Depends on how much money I need for Round 11.

 

[Connoisseur]

4/305

Played: R Khan (C), M Stoinis, A Zampa (new recruit) and A Carey
Yet to play: M Marsh, D Christian, D Short, J Richardson (new recruit), AJ Tye, J Wildermuth and J Inglis/J Philippe/U Khawaja.

Banking the VC from Rashid for a fond farewell and Maxwell follows the script to allow me to bank $20,000+ next round.

 

[TigerTime]

Think I'll bring in Milenko for looping purposes this round. Heat have the last game in this and the next round, which will prove handy.
Can't see Milenko getting another game now, given they have Wildermuth, Gregory and Denly as all rounders

 

[Johno69]

This is all set for a Finch ton with us all complaining and rightly so.........eventually he is going off but when to buy the
unhappy lug is the question.

Wow, possibly 10 the same - No Khan for me

 

[Darkie]

Wow, possibly 10 the same - No Khan for me

It is very close to what I’d choose for a “blank sheet” SGR side. Nicely done.

 

[Pacifico]

3/181

probably gonna play super safe and take the maxwell VC, either that or pull a name out of hat with a short, DC, jhye, or wilderbeast type

 

[Pookus McFly]

Not liking any of my other captain choices despite some illustrious names: Mujeeb, Jhye, Gregory, MMarsh. Thinking of using my last trade to bring Darcy back in. Surely he’s finally due with the bat?

Also, what is the minimum considered for taking a loop? I have Larkin with the E, and a measly 38 points banked seems awful tempting in a round like this. Probably leave Khawaja or Wildermuth out.
