It's possible depending how they line up. The most likely case is if Adelaide go two quicks, two spinners and a 5th bowler of CDG + Short. Given one of the quicks will be Siddle, I think it becomes a really live option.

Mind you if they line up like that I'm probably breaking my team to get Short after all!
Without double checking, I seem to recall Siddle usually bowling outside of the opening powerplay last season.

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?
Kuhnemann not listed in the starting XI.

South Africa are planning to play most of their Squad so it might mean he still can bowl though.

Still waiting for confirmation on a few things , but looking likely it will be this :-

Gilkes / Nielsen

Sams * (tbc) , Hales , Rossouw , 🍩 * , Stoinis * / Webster (E) , 🍩

Rashid Khan , Boult , 🍩 , Siddle , Zampa / Green (E) , CDG *

Bank : $ 59,400.00

If Richardson is available , the plan will be to bring in 3 more Scorchers for Round 2.

Last season my Round 1 Rank was 29,495th so I seriously hope I improve on that otherwise AFL SC research might start very early 😀

Can't say I have much of an idea on what I'm doing but once again find myself making a BBL team..

View attachment 49797

Only $500 left itb
I think we are all waiting on fitness news re Richardson and whether he is available for Round 2 , I would be cautious and find the $ 7,200.00 for Tye and start him instead.

Personally prefer Inglis to Bancroft (a lot here like the latter) , Scorchers line-up still up in the air not sure if both Bancroft & Hobson play ( du Plessis , Hardie , Inglis , new OS , Turner + 1 is my guess if Agar is @ 7)

Don't mind the Shadab pick but would probably change him to Rossouw for back-to-back DGR's start or maybe Gilkes (then it opens up better/easier trade options for Clarke Round 2)

Not sure which way you go with trading out Clarke in Round 2 , Boult gets you a high priced Scorcher easily enough , looks like you will need to trade out Rashid as well.

Just my thoughts

Bit of a duo thing I’m weighing up here, Siddle and Hardie v CDG and Shadab?
Does Siddle or CDG still get you the same (preferred) player for your Round 2 trades ?

Or do you then need to find extra dollars somewhere else ?

Personally see Siddle as a Round 1 lockity lock , know what you are getting.
