It's possible, especially given the Heat seem to make a lot of bad decisions ... I think you were Ponting out that conditions are terrible for Mujeeb at Brisbane - yet Brisbane bring him in as an international player?!

Brave call leaving out Patto though, he's clearly international standard and averages 74, which is about 50% more than their next best player (Banton unavailable and Prestwidge left out at around 54). I know it's not about SC points but it's an indicator.
Need to go back through the records and see how Badree and Shadab and Yasir performed at the Gabba , different type of bowlers admittedly.

They left Lalor out though , so who knows how they pick their team ?

Fair point about if you have enough cash already and can sustain a $ loss. I guess I was thinking if a player has a BE of 175 and scores a 20 or 30 (and even the best players do that) then you could lose 40 or 50k. Multiple that by a couple of players and it could bite you.
True. I know of a few players who should go up in price especially the Wright who has been sitting on my bench the whole season scoring 200+ last round.

Unfortunately, as a Heat fan who witnessed the renegades collapse in the stadium with a friend who is a renegades fan :(, I don't see swepson getting many overs. I could be wrong especially at SCG but Boof has indicated all season long by his decisions of pace being preferred. Mujeeb will get 4 overs (if we bowl 20) due to international status. Labuschagne will probably bowl and over or two aswell as the 3 from Cutting which will cut into swepsons overs. Patto, Laughlin and Lalor will bowl 4 overs with one maybe bowling 3 who I expect would be Lalor. I don't understand why pick swepson if he isn't getting overs. Two games this season I know he has been picked and hasn't bowled AN OVER as a spinner who was in the test squad against NZ. It's just bizarre. Anyway, that's just same predictions from a disappointed fan based on previous games this season and these numbers are predictions. I wish we would hold 4 bowlers with Labuschagne and Cutting bowling the other 4 to strengthen our batting slightly with another batter.
Playing at MCG & Marvel , surely they play both leggies.

Time they showed Cutting the door , will never move forward.

I agree with that. I would be happier with that. I hope they do that. But I personally don't see that happening.
Who is picking the team though ? Baz , Boof , Lynn , ABD too many chiefs.

No idea who the assistants are.

If I was picking the Heat team it would be :-

Burns
Lynn
ABD
Renshaw
Labuschagne (?)
Peirson
Patto
Swepson
Lalor
Laughlin
Mujeeb

I actually think they need a "anchor" at the top , someone prepared to bat 10-12 overs every innings to build the innings around , but given how excited they are with the media and the whole Bash Brothers concept it will never happen.

Cutting would have to be the most over rated player in the entire Big Bash competition , comes off maybe 2-3 times a season.

I agree with this but would switch burns and Labuschagne and then put Cutting in front of burns. Cutting would be the Jono Wells roll of just trying to smash a 30 in the last 4 overs (Cutting bowls NO OVERS). Labuschangne would be the anchor who would play proper cricket shots and work his way through the innings with his high level of batting. He is a waste at anything below 3. He doesn't score fast enough and can't anchor there.

I am prepared to wait on Labuschagne and see how he adapts to the T20 game , no doubt he will , but very much in its infancy at the moment.

I think Renshaw can step down.

Cutting (needs to open, he's wasted down the order, if this is not happening then yes, perhaps cut 'em)
Burns
Lynn
AB
Labuschagne (this guy should be the Wells of the Heat when he's in the team/ and Burns when he's not)
