Going to struggle trying to pick 5 bowlers for next week with so many options. Currently have Abbott, Richardson and Boyce and looking at getting dwarsh this round as well. Leaves one spot for Bartlett/steketee/Meredith/rogers etc

Absolute nightmare.

Think near everyone will have Abbott + KRicho.

Then 3 spots.
Sixers: strikers + heat
Heat: scorchers + Sixers
Gades: canes + thunder
Canes: gades + stars

Looking at that you’d probably say Sixers and canes have the best matchups, but Steketee/Bartlett have been really high quality.

Abbott and Dwarsh for mine.
I prefer to have two fast bowlers from the same team because I'm hoping if one doesn't score well the other likely will. Fingers crossed.
Steketee is coming off COVID so I'm a bit leery.
Hasnain started off well against the Strikes as a totally unknown bowler. Did well against the Gades but not so well the Canes.
In two T20 tournaments in Pakistan this year he took 15 wickets in 17 matches. Maybe the Australian wickets are helping him, maybe the batters are worse than the Pakistan batters - but I'm betting that he won't continue as he started.
Only my opinion, of course.

With how brain dead the Stars bat Id back Steketee to rip through them again

5/839 M Short

M Short 220 , Thornton 172, Siddle 133 , Weatherald 25 , Nielsen 21

Clarke 24 , Maxwell 17 , Zampa 7 quickly brings it down to earth, I gather widely owned so only really affects those that have any of them VC/C

4th trade will be Sams - > Dwarshuis
5th trade will be Finch - > Philippe

Surprised by the lack of talk about weather for this evening game. Honestly doesn’t look great.

The game has changed a bit this year. Seems that they stay on field more often than not.

Probably needs to take more of a backseat with future selections, this year and beyond.

Would have agreed with you being cautious in the early part of the season.

I think your clutching at straws, the majority of the bad weather is either passing or has passed.

Not in Sydney personally so can only go off forecasts, but the ones I’m looking at have thunderstorms around game time.

Im just sick of picking a side based on a forecast only to watch them play and end up scoring fine, happened 2 or 3 times this season and has easily cost me a couple hundred points already.

Completely fair, but on the flip side people lost points on the Sixers gades wash out. It goes both ways.

Looks ok at about 8pm, but might be a delayed start?

Also, if Neser is playing on Monday, then that suddenly makes me not keen on Bazley

Likely means he just plays solely as a bowler which isnt the end of the world considering he's done next to nothing with the bat anyway.

Bartlett, Steketee, Neser, Swepson will all get 4 overs, if Bazley isn’t pulling his weight he might not get 4 overs and Wildermuth as well could get a look

Round 13

Hopefully Clarke, Maxwell & Zampa don't lose to much $ , those 3 plus M Short & Siddle will make way for :-

Abbott, Meredith , Rogers and 2 yet to be determined Heat players

Bench will be

Nielsen
Hales, Weatherald
Qais (capatin donut if needed), Thornton

A little bit of planning and thinking goes along way
