wood or coulter nile

Wood less likely to get rested but Coulter Nile is the better bowler, I'm in the neither camp really but I'd probably pick NCN first.

Mujeeb vs Swepson?
Would rather mujeeb but swepson double game entices me and it is unlikely I will play either the first 2 rounds anyway unless I loop.

If you keep Mujeeb until his R5 double, Swepson has no DGR advantage over him. Does Swepson help to possibly gain any looping advantage in R2? If not, I would say Mujeeb.

Rossouw v Farooqi?

Farooqi would let me move Stoinis to the bats and gives me 4 on field batters who could bowl overs.

I reckon Farooqi is the better pick even in a vacuum. Left arm death bowlers in the form he's in don't grow on trees.

I agree.. when in doubt I think lean towards the bowler as generally there will be more points in that phase. Plus Farooqi could theoretically get a bat but Rossouw won’t get a bowl!

Id pick Roussow first personally, find it very hard to see him not being in the side every game hes available, can't say the same for Farooqi.

With each of the DGR teams halfway through their round, are there any changes to planned trades for R2?

For anyone looking for a loop player, Hobart play first in rounds 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

Might make someone like Wade more attractive if you can hold him.

I think I’m more interested in exploring whether holding Matt Short is an option. Looked in good touch and while the role isn’t quite as good at the end of last season it’s still pretty good. Any player that’s a threat in all 3 areas is a hard sell.

It’s a good call, I have pondered this myself. I haven’t run the numbers, but those who switched Naveed in might have an edge on this front.

Yep

Short I am holding with his perfect role & the form he showed with the bat.

So looking at Boult (stars bye), Stoinis (bye/ covid so might take time to regain fitness) & Siddle (unlucky tonight) >
du Plessis, Richardson (or Agar) & Lyth

Already have Inglis & Hardie so gives me 5 Scorchers on the double.

Early thoughts though, things could easily change 😂

I’ve made a switch to Brown mid round and have Inglis, Agar, Tye. I’ll be having to consider all options. Could easily hold if I avoid Faf, or Richo isn’t named, so we will see.

I’m having a look at whether I trade some ST players to PS, especially if the second game goes poorly. Sangha to a PS Bowler might be the better play if it allows me to keep some more useful SGR guys (Rash, Short, etc). Will need to properly work through the cash situation and pretty sure I’ll only be able to keep one of the two AS guys but something to think about.

I’m also weighing up whether I switch out Inglis now so that I can go Gilkes to him next round, or whether I skip him altogether and just focus on the PS bowlers.

Plenty to ponder but also don’t want to jump off just one game played by these players!

Mujeeb v Swepson

Wade v Billings

We are trying to decide between these pairs for the SCS combined team, and opinions are split. Thanks. We need to decide before tonight's match.

Edit: I would respond to an X v Y myself, but it doesn't look like there are any others to respond to.

Is there enough cash in hand to take both the Heat players? I think given the philosophy of that team to date has been to maximise the schedule that you just take them both if there's room.

All else being equal though I think I like Wade at the top more than Billings in the middle against what will be a quality spin attack...

Yes, it leaves $4,300 in the bank.

No set philosophy, except for finishing as high as possible.

Siddle as planned to Richardson (if named Game 1)

2 Thunder outs to 2 Scorchers likely to be the other 2 trades pending ST Game 2.

Gilkes v Rossouw v Wood to give another shot? Need to play one to get Sams as captain.

Rossouw would be the one for me.

I don’t think anyone really wanted to start Gilkes if not for DGR considerations. Rossouw can go huge and has a good record. Wood seems okay but his career record isn’t that compelling - basically one wicket per game @ 8 RPO, doesn’t bat much.
