Discussion BBL|12: Planning Thread

[Ben's Beasts]

Mmm ... who has the gloves ??

Banton 😎

In all seriousness, I hope Scorchers do bring in Banton as the ORP. Been in good recent form in Abu Dhabi and should be a cheaper alternative to Faf if funds become tight.

He is a player that would interest me ...

He would interest most I'd suspect

Agreed Banton looked bloody good in his 3 games for the heat, just a dangerous batter with clean strokes with a variety of them. If he was 160k or less he Is straight in for me.

Not at that price though ...

55 , 17 , 56 , 8 , 7 , 64 , 16 for the Heat (last to first)

223 @ 31.86 , SR 176.98

Inglis has been keeping however if their longer form results are similar in BBL that won't be relevant. In the last four games that both played on the same side against the same bowlers, Inglis, 4, 85, 24, 22, Bancroft, 164no, 43, 135, 13. Bancroft, two centuries, 1 not out, one score under 40, Inglis, three scores under 25...

Devil's advocate for those intending to loop Gilkes:

What is your plan if he scores under 15 points in the first match against the Stars?

Will you look at anyone else (a single game player e.g. Wade or Philippe) or will you back him in?

Interested to hear some thoughts

Billings now - I did have Clarke onfield with no backup plan.

What's the recommended score to not loop? 20-30?

Comparing the pair from last year I have ...

- not sold on Inglis yet ... looking for plan B (Hosein) and C (??) ...

Edit: added Gilkes as well for comparison ...
- Grrr ... didn't realise how good he can be ... might be back to a team adjustment ...

Interesting, I am not overly considering what happened in prior seasons except in players like Rashid who have made a similar average for a few seasons. We're all buying Stoinis and Zampa at their low prices because we know that their recent performance does not resemble their last season's BBL performance.

I agree ... team dynamics change ...

I’ve come back around to Billings I think. Love that he can come on round 1 for either Rossouw or Gilkes if they fail (likely 1 will) don’t feel guilty about benching him round 2 as he has the bye anyway, and ready to go for round 3 DGR

If I can stomach Gilkes, Inglis, Rossouw, Hardie as 4 of my DGR players for round 2, I’ll also go Lynn to Neser/Swepson round 2 and have 2 Heat guys ready to go for round 3

I think that I have to agree with your Scorchers assessment. There seems a lot of focus on potentially the wrong keeper!

18th spot is Ian Carlise.

Paine is on record as saying he won't be a part of the team but will in some mentor role.

 

[Herbie66]

If Neser gets a extended stay with the Test Squad does that open up a spot for Johnson , Kuhnemann , Prestwidge or Wildermuth ?

Need to find a spot for Kuhnemann so might be the way to get him in. Think he misses game with due to being with Cricket Australia but R3 he should slot back in somewhere.

Wildermuth in for R1, Kuhnemann in R3?

 

[Herbie66]

Article on Hatzoglou mentions Agar , Behrendorff, Kelly & Tye all expected to play as a unit in tomorrow's intrasquad game.

No mention of Richardson at all.

Hamish McKenzie mentioned as a possible LRP option.

Doesn't have FC status anymore and been changed back to 4 days (9-12) so he might be right for the 15th.

Wait and see I guess.
