940 (Sams)
How do you pick three top order bats that each get to bat twice and have them combine for three runs?
The various 50/50s in play this round:
* Sams v Rashid captain. Actually came out ahead here by 26, but forced me into other decisions that cost me a lot more.
* Wood v NCN - how different my round looks if I get this one right! Effectively this became Rossouw v NCN because I made a second decision to gamble on Rossouw hitting back harder than Wood. 174 points in the bin.
* Siddle v Boult - 66 points lost. Boult even bowled the 20th last night...
* Siddle + Hosein v Short + Naveed - Considered this option when I saw the Strikers running light on bowlers, decided to back my judgment that Short wasn't the play. Little did I know he'd bowl more than Siddle in game 2.
145 points gone, but Hosein still a chance to help make them back.
* Hosein v either of Rossouw or Wood - this option was closed off to me once I committed to Sams, and isn't additive to Wood v NCN, but I could have salvaged about 75 of those lost points back.
* The Stoinis issue - I did consider benching Stoinis, but it's a pretty fundamental part of professional sport that once you're named (especially in a sport like cricket where you can't be substituted in the normal course of events), you're fit to go. For the Stars to flout that, not once but twice in a few days, is incredibly irresponsible. In the best case, I could have benched him on the BWL line, and got both Wood and Hosein on field...
Right. Out of my system. We go again.

At this stage
Clarke to Agar
Rashid to Tye (holding Short, works better for my side as my 6th bowler comes on in a SGR rather than 6th batter)
Siddle to Richardson
Lynn to Hosein
9xDGR. Short and then loop Shadab and Hosein
not 100% on Richo due to fitness concerns
Will boost again next round to grab 4x Heat and then save the last one until the later rounds where there’s multiple DGR teams again

Optus tonight then 3 games in a row at the SCG (think they normally like 2 spinners at home)
Can't see them playing Abbott , Dwarshuis , Kerr , Naveen & the 2 spinners though unless they leave out DC 😱 or Patterson.
Stiff to leave out Kerr after last season
Good idea to sign a second Afghanistan player though while Naveed settles in.
