Discussion BBL|10 SC: Team & In-Game Discussion - Home of #1 and #2 Leagues
- Thread starter Goodie's Guns
- Start date
I think I have done my research 😀
just waiting on :-
* Strikers & Stars to complete their Squads
* Heat , Scorchers & Sixers to announce their OS replacement players
* CA to confirm the ODI/T20 player release , the A games fixtures (if changed) , the venue for the first test
* LRP's for the Australian reps
* February International series
and have even managed to lock in my Round 1 team pending team announcements

That’s a pretty good side if you’re still catching up. In addition to Herbie’s suggestions, my comments would be:
- You’ve gone super heavy on Stars. They have a bye in R3 so that would be a major thing to watch for, and there’s a strong chance their 8th best scorer scores poorly even playing both games. Of course, the second game is an obvious advantage, and you don’t always know who will have a good/bad game or games, but when you get to fringe-y picks, I think that’s usually about the spot to draw the line. My guess is you wouldn’t even consider Hinchliffe ex his DGR, although I can see the argument for all the others.
- The Stars double is at Manuka, which is more of a batsman’s pitch. You’ve skewed more towards bowlers so this might not be ideal. Personally I like Cartwright if he’s going to open.
- Ingram looks a bit of an odd man out to me. He could go okay, but at his price I don’t see a lot of upside, especially if he potentially bats lower than last year as has been mooted in this thread. Also, if you were to pick him, I think he’d belong on the WK line, obviously subject to any specific looping you have planned for.
- I like that you have more Strikers than Hurricanes, despite their R1 bye. As soon as R1 is over, this is the setup everyone will probably be trying to achieve, so to me it makes sense to start that way!

Regarding the DGW for Hobart and Adelaide in RD2, make sure to keep in mind that both matches for their doubles are against each other. Obtaining an even spread across positions for those teams in RD2 could be beneficial.
Eg. If selecting 3 or more of D Short, W Jacks, C Ingram and Hobart wk, then you might be better served to leave the likes of Siddle/Briggs/etc until RD3.

Thanks for your response Darkie, when I set up my team initially it was the auto fill using the Stars as my favourite team, hence the influx of pre-populated Stars. It does look heavily reliant on Stars, and will most likely change. Can't pick between Gotch and Dunk, only in there for price. You referred to Ingram, I think he's a Hurricane, but I've got Inglis from the Scorchers who should open again. I really have no idea atm, rule changes with scoring, who's got test and odi commitments, which overseas players are arriving when, after quarantine. No home ground advantage for the Strikers, if lockdown persists. I thought afl was bad. I think we need to have unlimited trades each round by the looks of it. thanks again for your feedback. 😜
Interesting I have seen you mentioning more Strikers over the Hurricanes a few times.
Given who will me missing I would have thought the Hurricanes would be far stronger especially at home.
Jacks is too much of an unknown to me as in Briggs.
I think the Strikers bowling has fallen away big time in the last 1-2 seasons and will be very realiant on RK19 (his record against the Hurricanes has been mentioned) & Siddle.
Think Boland , Ellis , Faulkner & Meredith present more of a threat.
Hopefully their are some practice matches to see which one of 4 options will open with Short to give us a better idea.
I was actually looking at going in with 5 Hurricanes and if I can't get 4 Strikers , happy to have 3 , then load up extra in Round 3.
