Opinion BBL|12: Player X vs Player Y & Trade Discussions

I don’t love Henriques (or any batsman) on these pitches, but he has the lowest BE by a way for those I would be interested in owning, and he’s cheap (ie he should go up short term as well as medium term). Could be an option if you do want someone like Kerr.
With that said, Philippe, Abbott and KRicho were the top 3 names I wrote down for this double in the pre season. You could do a lot worse!

I'm always playing Stoinis if he's in my squad. The day I leave him out he goes off. He's in my squad.
Australian selectors think Hardie in the longer game. But Hardie did not bowl the other night for the Scorchers.
And, when we saw Stoinis play, he bowled and Webster did not. So Stars prefer Stoinis bowling over Webster. Or should I say Stoinis' mate Zampa prefers the Hulk.
As for the other 2, when I picked Gilkes, he did nothing. Dropped him, he went off.
Last game
Inglis 39 / Gilkes 111
but that could change tonight.
Sorry, after all that, I guess you're non the wiser

Inglis pretty comfortably.
Do you have much exposure to each of the bowling attacks that will likely bowl against either keeper? For example, if still holding onto Steketee and/or Neser, I would prefer not to field Gilkes and especially so if you are also fielding Hales.
Another factor to consider is the expected scoring ranges for both players involved in the x and y, which comes down to your risk appetite. Would you be willing to field Gilkes with what I would expect to be less confidence in comparison to Inglis or possibly confidence being a tad misplaced and very reactionary to their last innings?
What are your intentions in terms of trading or holding Gilkes and Inglis over the next few rounds? I would much prefer to trade Inglis before I would consider benching him with no ability to loop. Just think of Gilkes performance tonight (if benched) as an added bonus thanks to his negative breakeven with no risk attached. Under no pressure to perform and if he manages to outscore Inglis by a very considerable margin, then big whoop.
BBL12:
Inglis lowest score of 33
Gilkes total points this season (exclusive of last round)= 26 (0,10,13,3)

I'm running a loop
M Short / Hales*, Inglis
I also have
1) Stoinis, 2) Webster, and 3) Neser
with either M Short or one of those 3 being a non scoring BWL bench player
So I could field all 3, in any case
What order would you rank them?
I'm leaning
1, 3, 2 - because, if Stoinis is back, he may take Webster's overs, even though Webster is the inform player from the three.
