He’s a bit of a favourite of mine as well, but I think I will likely pass.

I have a theory that the impact player will reduce the number is balls faced by the bowlers who bat at c. 7, and reduce their value by a reasonable amount in some cases.

Similarly with batsmen who bowl a bit … less need for contributions from marginal all rounder types when you can sub in a specialist?

Gonna take a flyer on Gurbaz. Pretty low risk in terms of cash outlay and gives me a lot of money for corrections.

I think I'm going to take a flyer on Gurbaz as a bench WK and Curran on field, and leave it at that. Bairstow selected as a non player.

I can restructure for the umpteenth time depending on the outcome of Gurbaz, which will bring cash in the bank if he provides a score.

 

[Woosie]

if it was a late start here, I would've missed that too.

Short & Wiese named among the Impact Players.

Was under the impression if they named 4 OS in the starting XI they couldn't name another OS

AS: "Whats the point of having overseas players on the impact player list? " -- We're scratching our heads over here too. Maybe they need to be named in that list if they are to be substitute fielders? It is indeed different from the communication we had about how the impact players can work.

Did consider a rookie wk setup with Prabhsimran Singh on the bench with Gurbaz on field and Rahul moved to the batters.

I read that that was the case!

 

[Darkie]

Bugger, I missed lockout … albeit I may not have added to DreRuss as C anyway.

Quite interesting to see so many coaches with 3+ players in this one though, hopefully that doesn’t come back to bite me!

 

[tso]

DreRuss going to get a bowl ?

DreRuss going to get a bowl ?

I’ve been wondering this for several overs now! It’s not like it’s going that well for KKR
