0/352 Sams. Could have basically picked any other scorcher for VC but went for Faf. Was always keen on Richo but was too worried for game 2 resting for VC.

No Hardie but I couldn’t pick a guy batting 6 who I expected to bowl 1, 2 overs max.

0/79 no vc yet. Think I'll fade Inglis and use McDermott, people jumping off him quick atm, will become a nice pod. Expecting Jhye to miss next game for an average of 77. So not too fussed. Hard part will be picking which Thunder player will pop. Otherwise, it will be Rashid?

Batsman getting worse? or bowlers getting better? last 2 season have been great for bowlers getting wickets compare to past season. (wickets per match base on first 6 games)

How the runs stack up in past seasons. Could argue it's the worst start to a season for Batsman of all time in the first 6 rounds. 2013/14 had a No result game so would of past this year.

I have a thought on this but you have got to bear with me ...

More O/S batsman brought in and most are not accustomed to our pitches ...
- most fail ... have a 6 or out mentality and can't build an innings ...

More O/S bowlers brought in ....
- most do well as many are sight unseen to local batsman and my above point ...

I could go on but will stop here ...

That is really good insight. Generally, bowling is easier to adjust than batting in new settings. However, when batting gets used to things, bowlers find it harder to fight back than batsman.

0/200 Agar VC scores not taken yet.
Losing my good start feel😣

No Jhye, No Dorff Due to budget issues.. Flushed off stoinis, Luke and had to sacrifice RK. settled with agar and Turner as a POD (saw him bowl in practice games, with no Hatz, thought he will bowl an over or 2, apparently he didn’t. Also, today he had a chance to score well coming early to the crease, but failed, hope he does something in the next game). Already had lyth Tye and Inglis.

Players to come: PS guys, Sangha, Sandhu, hales, sams and Farooqi and Gilkes (if named), or else Wade.

should I take Agar’s 70 odd or go for Sams C?
thinking Agar vs lefties like short, Wade or Sams vs fragile gades and Strikers?

I'd take the points personally, especially after they just used Sandhu and Farooqi at the death.

Scoring update - Faf and Naveen scores not showing in the match centre, but I think they scored 14 and 32 respectively, so have adjusted accordingly.

Game 6: Batting 308 (29%) Fielding 742 (71%)

Season: Batting 1,841 (34%) Fielding 3,679 (66%)
