Discussion BBL|12: Planning Thread

[Herbie66]

He was pretty good in the early years of the BBL

Was just checking back through his scores , looks like he has passed 20 , 25-26 times from 52 bats.

8 half centuries

Forgot he played 1 T20I

Always just thought he was a bit slow as a T20 bat.

Probably not someone you would play in a SGR but maybe passable on a DGR.

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

Thanks for the ideas mate I'll ponder over the weekend!

Be back in this thread Tuesday most likely

Anyone still running with Farooqi or Mcandrew?

Like them both but gone the safe option in Green instead.

4 OS obviously the worry with Farooqi and not sure where/how all of Doggett/McAndrew/Sandhu fit but depending on Sams that may not be a problem anymore.

 

[Herbie66]

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.

Kuhnemann has bowled already

 

[Brendan12]

One thing about Perth round 2 is they play Sixers and Hurricanes, 2 really strong bowling line ups. May not even pay up for Faf tbh

[The Myth]

Anyone still running with Farooqi or Mcandrew?

I couldn’t run McAndrew now just due to concerns over rotation, his upside was both doubles.

However, Farooqi I’m still interested in. He’s going to bowl death, his record is great, he had good form in Aus. He’s value at 105k. He’s a player that I’d be considering as a SGW player. If he’s named for game 1, he plays a very weak stars batting lineup, that outside of NCN, doesn’t have a tail. All things considered, I have them as the weakest batting lineup in the competition, I want a few pieces of the thunder bowling attack. At the moment if he’s named for game 1 he’s in my side and I’ll simply be crossing my fingers he impresses enough to be undroppable.

Quickly removes Boult & Zampa from my starting team 😉

No Burns then , Webster @ 4 interesting

Coulter-Nile playing a practice game

 

[The Myth]

Hinchcliffe is one that’s had very little discussion but one I really think Stars could end up playing. They’ve often played two spinners, and have Stoinis/Webster as other seam options. Probably batting at 8 if he’s in the side and handy with it.

Do we read anything into stoin at 5…

Do we read anything into stoin at 5…

If they sign Rogers as a replacement player I'd be slightly concerned, expect he'd open with Clarke, find it hard to believe Stoinis is batting behind Larkin and Webster when push comes to shove though.

Stars play first, so it doesn't even really matter. We'll have a team sheet to go on.

He's still insane value even in a finishing role so I'm not too fussed. Might think twice about the VC though if you were going down that path.

Could be taking on that Maxi role where they save him for the back half of the innings. Basically the next player in after a wicket drops post 10th over.

Confirmed Rogers signed as Maxwell’s replacement

Could be an interesting option himself if at 62k.
Remember him doing alright during covid last year - didn’t he have one good innings in 3?

All I can find is 1 game, 32 runs, 128 SR

Played the one game as a covid replacement, then got covid himself a day or so later…

 

[Gumwah]

Not seeing it in his SC averages though

16/17 5.0
18/19 42.5
19/20 29.4
20/21 29.5
21/22 31.6

I guess if he opens could be worth a punt

In my team for now, has been in great form for the last couple of months and is a POD, hopefully he gets back to his 18/19 average or higher.
