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

[Bomber18]

Why is Hughes playing, the perennial question. 1 off 11 in a powerplay

 

[Shannon]

Hughes on fire in the power play for the Sixers - 2 off 12 balls 😂

 

[Woosie]

Thunder bowling well here.

Worst power play for the whole season

1-8

 

[Erich1036]

Well the 6:45pm start caught me out... there goes my trade plans out the window

 

[Gumwah]

Hughes gets a single on the last ball to make sure he can face the next over for another run.

 

[Darkie]

Oh no!

On to the Heat I guess? They have a couple of new ins who might be appealing.

 

[Beg2Differ]

Hughes to Gades/Stars next year. It will improve the batting of both teams.

 

[Gumwah]

This is a cunning plan by the Sixers to deliberately get a low score so they can practice defending a low total against a good opposition ahead of the finals.

 

[Bomber18]

Thunder are deliberately keeping Hughes in, good strategy

 

[Erich1036]

Oh no!

Unfortunately one of my planned outs involved a Thunder player so I can only do a max of 4 trades now! And I'd be limited to a Heat batter, none of which I have much faith in... bit of a predicament I've put myself in I guess Lynn will have to do... or maybe Neser can be a POD

 

[Woosie]

Philippe 20!

Lynn is the one that immediately springs to mind. Neser is a very good player in my opinion, and one I normally target to own.

There are some other decent looking options on that list - just need to check availability and your expectations of role (especially with team changes). Bazley, Wilder, Zaman and Duckett all worth a look. Heazlett was good early but has lost form recently - could be an option if a cheapie is helpful for some reason (eg to allow a loop, or a better in elsewhere).

He will be a very enticing starting selection next season with an early double under $60,000.

it's happened again - haha

44 from the last 23 balls

 

[Woosie]

Hughes 20!

 

[Woosie]

Philippe 50!

 

[Woosie]

... and out

 

[Beg2Differ]

... and out

Scored 57 with the maximum SR bonus. I think I can accept that from my new recruit.

edit: a catch or 2 would be nice for a bit of icing...

 

[7/11]

... and out

I’ll take 92 points before he keeps. Especially since I went light in comparison to others for this double!

Henriques in now for me, so hoping he can give me something to be happy about.

 

[Gumwah]

Having traded Philippe in this game, for less than half the price I traded him out a few rounds ago, a SC score of 92 is most pleasing...
