Could someone explain briefly the benefits or batting first or bowling first (in terms of SuperCoach points)…

Batting first (generally less points for batters? Cos they have to choose their own tempo)

Bowling second means lots of wickets for death bowlers who can pick off hitters trying to slog to get the runs?

Depends on the pitch, ie Adelaide Oval, you always bat first

Bowling first (in my opinion) means more points on average for bowlers who bowl at the death as players will go as hard as possible in those last 1-2 overs and not worry about wickets.

Batting is a bit of pot luck really as you never know how a pitch (or the batsmen) is going to play until players are locked out.

You generally want players who do their predominant scoring role first. There are some exceptions, with spin bowlers being the most common from what I’ve seen.

Score: 1380
Rd Rank: 680
Overall Rank: 700 (from 3,388)

Current trades:
Out: C Lynn, A Lyth, A Agar and Farooqi
In: J Bazley, M Renshaw, M Neser and P Dooley
View attachment 50245
Did consider Kerr over Bazley briefly but decided against it, as well as Swepson over Dooley which would have involved benching Tye/Star bowler but prefer the cash from Dooley, possibly holding Rash in RD5 and I feel those players could match or exceed Swepson on a SGW. VC switches from Bazley to Neser but could switch back before play starts. Sams moved onfield for Stoinis to keep open the option of using the trade update to go Hales back to Lynn if I do not want to access the score from Stoinis.
