Feels like best case scenario is Richardson is a SGR player next round.. I can't see him playing 2 games that close together if he is still feeling soreness. Especially with the 2nd game being in Tassie and with PS having genuine fast bowler depth. Reckon I'll take him on, if he plays 2 I'll cop that knowing if he plays 1 my alternative would most likely be Short or Khan.

Of course doesn't matter if he isn't named game 1, but reckon he has trap written all over him if he does.

That foot is a big worry by the sounds

Do they have depth at the moment though until they replace Mills , unless Morris is getting released it's Behrendorff , Kelly , Richardson & Tye.

Fair call, but then you've also got Hardie who can take some overs. I also think Hatz could have come in for the Tassie game anyway, so I think they have cover. Also can't see them risking it if there is any doubts.

Ok misread the part about genuine fast bowler depth.

Probably doesn't affect Hardie (expect he just takes Bison's role) , fully expecting Hatzoglou to play most away games in any case.

Major decision to make if they name him.

I’m considering taking Dorff tbh. Thoughts on him? Straight back out round 3 to Swepson/Kuhnemann
I'm a bit unsure, Tye, Agar and Inglis will be in.. Faf I'm not 100% sold on at his price. If Richo is ruled out the Dorff looks good but I think it's a bit too much of a mess for me to take the risk.

Leaning towards 6x ST, 3x PS and just keeping Khan/Short to make up the 11. Means I can focus on some cheap cash gen guys + someone like Hosein.

Nah you didn't I actually missed the part about Hatz and forgot about Mills, so my "depth" is more spread than I implied! But I still think they have more than enough guys to take overs that they won't play Richo in Tassie.
Could well be wrong, but unless something extremely conclusive comes out in the next 24 hours I think I'll fade him and focus on setting my team up for the next 3 rounds instead.

Surely the Test Squad won't need Morris , maybe he gets released for the Hurricanes game.

Agree though if their is any query on him you would rotate him out of the second game.

Might still being him in tomorrow if named and hope he plays both games , then make sure I have playing bench cover at Bowl 6 each round in case he misses.

Think the Hardie tweet was about him bowling Monday , wonder if he has a bowl again today before tomorrows game.

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!
I hope so. Started Inglis so that i could potentially loop out Gilkes but none of the available other options seemed that much better and the extra coin required to get someone like a Billings or a Wade would make it pretty tough to get in all the Scorcher players i want next round.

I reckon ideally you try and create a loop with Rashid. Have a look at his first score and then whether he's named in game 2. If he scores badly game 1 and/or isn't named game 2 you at least have a decent bail out option.

That's the quirk of the Round 2 draw.

Don't think I was having a playing bench Round 2 , might have to think about changing that.

Bowl 6 Richardson (E)
Bowl 7 Rashid Khan

Didn't think I would ever have a setup like that 😱

Thinking I might run the other way on Richo. Looking at the remainder of the draw, the Scorchers have three doubles before their final round bye. I'm thinking I could save an awful lot of trades by holding a core of Perth players through the entire season.

Potential pitfalls:
* Perth have a down season. Very possible given how much of their planning is already out the window.
* In the case of Richo specifically, if it turns out they've rushed him back and he is out for a lengthy period.
* The team more broadly rotates their team more than anticipated. Would nullify the advantage of the extra games.
* Players leave mid season for the other tournaments. Will probably just avoid these players as a result.

If Richo plays the first game, he goes to Bwl6 and is a monitor for the second game. Every chance 150k is the cheapest he gets all season...

Yeah I've been rethinking holding Zampa.. I don't think he is essential and if it opens up some better options I think that's the way to go.
