Discussion SC BBL|11: Diabolical wins $25k major prize...!!!

[Darkie]

Just brought in Billings (Hales out) and Weatherald (Guthrie out, switched a multi position etc).

I will trade M Marsh tomorrow, not sure for who yet. Thinking Abbott but don't want to waste it if it pisses down. I may go a Star if we hear they are playing next round before this one ends.

I also need one more bowler for tonight. Low risk would be Paris for Green, high risk (but potentially higher reward) would be Maxwell for Sams. Thoughts? Obviously some Stars info would make that choice easier.

Siddle a good value option in my view, with two games against a weak Thunder and a DGR coming up.

Also note that if you keep a trade in hand, you can use the trade loophole tomorrow to “adjust” your trade-out, assuming they’re not locked out, it works from a budget perspective etc.

 

[Rowsus]

wow SOK is back a lot quicker than expected

Named in squad means nothing.
Remember Dwars in Round 2?

 

[Professor]

Stars played the Heat and the Thunder played the Scorchers last round. Wonder whether we'll see any close contacts.

 

[Herbie66]

So the Stars have confirmed 7 players have tested positive so why not come out and say who they are ?

Or are they just expecting the games on the 2nd & 3rd are going to be postponed and everything will be back to normal for the 7th (v Strikers which is the second game of their DGR)

 

[Shannon]

Apart from
Rashid , Sams, Renshaw

I cannot find a single player I'd want to trade in

Billings?

Or J Sangha as a cash grab another option

True , I thought I read something that it was going to be late January.

Maybe he is entertainment/sightseeing manager for the trip 😀

Not if he has a SA cricket contract 😂

MMarsh -> Sams tonight.
Will worry about the other 3 trades tomorrow.
I've got the (E) on Gilkes, Kelly & Renshaw so get a free look at them.

Rashid or Sams as VC is interesting, strong case for either.
I'll go Rashid on his home ground against a weakened batting lineup. This will guarantee that Sams goes big.

Don’t think so. Rules will change tmr to essentially make it not possible to be a “close contact” in a public setting.

They may have caught it of course and I’m sure will be testing regularly.

Today
Short, Renshaw, Weatherald, Rashid VC, Sams

4 x HOB, 2 x BNE tomorrow

 

[Brendan12]

Silly to trade Maxwell to Abbott and then possibly back next round if Maxwell plays? By then Abbott has probably added 15-20k

 

[Beg2Differ]

Don’t forget the trade loophole can very much be your friend in this circumstance.

Use a Star to get someone you want tonight and if they turns out to be unaffected you can bring them back in for somebody else tomorrow who doesn’t play tonight without it costing you another trade. You can also do it in reverse by trading out a non-Star but then bring them back in tomorrow if the Star you held is affected.

Just make sure you keep a trade up your sleeve otherwise you won’t be able to do either.

I think that could potentially be a smart move for the extra trade but would definitely hold off as long as possible for Maxwell/stars covid updates and schedule and Co*** Harbour rain

 

[Zack]

So what’s the latest forecast looking like for Co*** Harbour tomorrow night? Don’t know whether to just load up tonight

Adelaide v Thunder - Adelaide - no rain
Hurricanes v Heat - Bellerive (Hobart) weather on Saturday at 4pm - around 20% of a shower.
Sixers v Renegades - Co*** Harbour weather on Saturday at 7:30pm - at 7:30 pm there is 60% of showers, and maybe a thunderstorm. Game most likely affected.

Medical confidentiality? Maybe some of them don't want to be named for some reason. I can understand this with the way the media is.

Good chance others get infected in the team, games get cancelled and it's moot anyway, otherwise we'll find out when they name the next squad, as pretty much anyone not in that squad has covid.

 

[Herbie66]

Fakhar needs to spend 14 days outside of Queensland before being allowed entry.

Where do they think Pakistan , Bangladesh , UAE are ?

How many times has he been tested during that time ?

 

[trenzil]

Who are we preferring out of Billings (54BE) & JSangha (-21BE)?

 

[madmunza]

Ok tonight Khan, Sams, Siddle and (E) on Renshaw, Wells, Nielsen

Quite possibly yes.

GM's were all meeting this afternoon , one of the proposals was a 7 day stoppage (guess the Stars would be very keen on this)
