I like the plan above.
The only thing I’m unsure about is the Stars locking out before we know Hurricane scores.
Are there two that we want? We can get one for Kane.
They play Hobart at Blundstone and Adelaide at the MCG.
I think we have the two that are worth having in Stoinis and Clarke. The only other one I'd be thinking about would be Luke Wood but he's had his good and bad and may be better off getting someone else, even a good single gameweek player.
I think Head is almost a must if named in the squad, given Lynn is already there with Short I'm reluctant to load up on too many Adelaide bats even if a few of them are likely to bowl but might still be an ok move given the teams they are playing. I think from a brief look, maybe bring in an Adelaide bowler in Thornton or Agar, Thornton has been expensive last three games so might be better getting someone else but also been getting wickets.
Might be good going with something like
Ellis>Thornton/Agar
Philippe> Carey or someone>Wood and loop them.
Abbott>Head
Marnus is a potential in if you were to use a boost but might also be a good idea to wait and see if he bowls and if so how much.
I wouldn't rule out Khawaja completely given he's also on the Heat side with a double, anyone who's had 2 tons in the big bash shouldn't be ruled out entirely but would also want to wait and see what the bbl form and role is like.
Sorry for not much certainty here, hope it helps a bit.
