BBL|12: Combined SCS Team

[Darkie]

The toss is bad for Wade. We could bench him for Kerr, or field him and decide on Ker, Bancroft and a Hardie later. Either seems okay.

Seems it's just us here, which way should we go? I'll lock it in.

Dont really know what mindset Wade is in and how much batting hes actually done the last week or so, I lean towards McDermott personally.

 

[Darkie]

I would suggest not Cing McD, and maybe benching Wade for the reason Shaunpro mentioned (and the toss).

Done. Wade benched, C on Abbott. Hopefully nobody is a non-player from the second game (except Connolly).

Good stuff, thank you.

For what it’s worth I’ve also benched Wade and fielded McDermott, partly because of the toss, and partly in solidarity 🤞

 

[Ironhawk]

Ellis benched.

Not our round.

You’re right there.

At least it ends quickly!

Is our team in any leagues?

6. 5 SCS leagues and a public league.

Thanks - looks like we have managed to end up in totally different leagues somehow!

Possibly not a bad thing, this team is 42-6 in league matches before this round. (1 x 8-0, 4 x 7-1, 1 x 6-2). Top spot in all 6 leagues. I didn't actively seek to join leagues, just joined any the team was invited into.

Wow, that’s huge!

My team is very similar in its lineup and ranked 115th (I think I must have jumped the wrong way on some loops). I’m 5th or worse in every league except one, and that includes a public league!

Didn't realise we had 3 matches against the same team this round. Lucky draw for @Hawk41.

Not captaining McDermott is one good thing we have done at least...

Perth bowling first, possibly rain around. Do we stick with Abbott C?

Personally I think Tye is the play even without the weather risk, so I would be in favour of him.

I still need to assess the weather risk myself, but if it’s risky, I will try to bank the points in the first innings, I think.

 

[Darkie]

Are there any bench changes we can make to get players on who do their main discipline in the first innings?

No, our bench spots are all locked in.

Thanks, that makes it easy 🙂

 

[Ironhawk]

No wickets for C Tye.

Of course Abbott passes his score in his first over.

Things have gone very wrong this round.

 

[Darkie]

For next round, I would suggest Lynn and Kerr as outs. Obviously we’d need one more.

For ins, with lower confidence I am thinking something like Sams, Neser and Bazley. Probably just need to check that using Sams c. twice is better than getting an extra Hurricane, say.

David, Dooley and Meredith could be worth targeting near term depending on BEs.

FWIW both Brisbane and Adelaide have bat friendly fixtures for their double, in my view, which is good for our Adelaide picks and Marnus and Usman, but makes it harder to identify good Brisbane ins.
