Discussion BBL|12: Teams & In Game Discussion: Congrats Diabolical B2B Champion

[7/11]

My last bowling choice came down to either a future DGR player or a money-maker
I decided to go for a money-maker and as I like going with "unknown" OS bowlers the choice was between Hosein and Naveed.
I went with Hosein for a couple of reasons: recent form; age - 29 v 19; experience - as far as I could find out Naveed has almost no non-Afghanistan experience.

I almost had both, but had to offload one for a loop player as Sandhu went great guns. I watched this video leading up to the Sixers game and locked in Naveed. Was impressed with his wrongun, which is generally something Aussie bats do not play well.

3fa Hosein

 

[Tamuhawk]

Hosein 3fa!

 

[Shaunpro1]

Peirson does that one or twice a season and the rest is pure rubbish, still think theres 4 or 5 Heat players I'd much rather be owning for their double.

$40k was what swayed me.

But I like your thinking. This sort of info is what I need before rounds.

 

[Beg2Differ]

I'd like to call dibs on "Will Hosein get Hose out?" when the Renegades play the Strikers.

Sorry I haven't posted more.'
The RDT NFL comp. has occupied most of my attention recently.
I have done only the most basic research for the BBL.

 

[Diabolical]

It appears that the majority chose the right Brisbane keeper, however the majority chose to put the wrong one on field!

And so it should, you've been leading the competition for a few weeks now.

Great to see! Best of luck @Rupert!

I'm surprised Hosein is in only 1.3% of teams.
His recent results have been good.
Abu Dhabi T10: 8 innings - 15 overs - 10/93 - 6.20 ER
WI T20 2022: 6 innings - 24 overs - 9/150 - 6.25 ER
WI T20 2021: 11 innings - 42 overs - 13/207 - 4.92 ER

Spewing about picking Behrendorff over him now, he’ll probably outscore Behrendorff as well even without a double.

Wow,i'm in the 1% then... only on bench this round, wonder how much he goes up in value

 

[Herbie66]

Half time of DGR 1 , what's Abbott doing in there ?

Short 127
NCN 125
Thornton 117
RK19 93
Sandhu 93
Abbott (1) 86
Green 85
Farooqi 79
Webster 73
Boult 68

Hopefully my Round 1 captain in Sams makes the list at full time

Should have waited

3. Maddinson (1) 122
5. Hosein (1) 116
6. Kuhnemann (1) 93
9. Bazley (1) 89

I am banging on about wicketkeepers, but it was the conundrum that had many of us stumped what to do pre season.

After 3 games they are 7/167 = 23.85 PSI with a top score of 58

Clarke or Gilkes owners who didn’t loop them out might get the last laugh yet … unless McDermott or Wade waltz in and slam a Royal flush on the table!

Need to have a big day from my remaining 10 tomorrow to get back on track.

That's what I'm banking on. @The Banker 😉 hope you haven't changed your mind?

In all honesty half the people playing wouldn't have a clue who is is.

I guess focusing on the early fixtures not many would have MR/SS on their radar.

Benny Mac for the win

Guess so.
I focused on the early DGRs too but thought it would be handy to have a money-maker from MR/SS as they have the next DGR and no byes between.
As I should be able to have 11/11/6 for the DGRs, having one non-DGR player isn't an issue.
[Mind you, that's using 8 trades over the next two rounds.]

1/591 (Sams)

Late 50/50 switch of Billings to Harper finally a win... albeit by a very small margin. But nets an extra 52k for rd 2 trades. Big day tmr!
