Discussion BBL|12: Planning Thread

[Shaunpro1]

There's no Qadir listed in their squad article when they released their Squad for tomorrow, do wonder if he's pulled out and they just haven't announced it yet.

Perth’s double is against Sixers and Hurricanes. Not ideal.

Brisbane’s is against Strikers and Renegades. Looks good to me.

Scorchers could win both and Heat could easily lose both.

It's Pakistan cricket , anything can happen and does 😀

PCB website has the schedule on it and completed scorecards of the first round of matches , so will be easy for people to check for themselves now if he continues to play.

i hope he plays the whole tournament

Can someone tell me about J Sangha domestic stats this season ...

- from memory they aren't great but I guess BBL is different ...

Scorchers could win both and Heat could easily lose both.

This is a good point. If the Scorchers do win though, I suspect it’s in part because of their breadth of good players, rather than individuals making huge contributions. If the Heat lose both I suspect Steketee, Swepson types still do well, but their teammates don’t do enough to get over the line.

Weird question: if there is a league which @Diabolical joins manually (or any other expert), can he also then get added into that league as one of the expert options? I'm pretty sure the system would be set up to realise this and not allow it, but I'd find it funny if he managed to get into a league twice that way.

I'm assuming you can't see every single league you get added into if you are one of the experts? Would definitely be advantageous if you could, as you could possibly track the trades of a lot of the top teams a lot more easily.

That sounds like worst case scenario. If you get a Scorchers bowler instead of Turner/Luther it’s easily avoided

The only option $$$ wise is Hardie, think he'll bat 5 and may not bowl

More than happy if you've got someone else in mind

Have a look at the Matches page here (scroll down for the last 10, across formats).

Lots of starts but not great overall, especially given there are a few FC matches in there (less relevant, but easier to score big):

All my leagues are full, otherwise I could test it! However, I have my doubts it would work.

I can only see 10 leagues. If I hadn’t already joined 10, my leagues would have filled up with the first leagues to add me, so I needed to get into the ones I wanted to early. The advantage is with everyone else who will be able to see my team but I can’t see theirs.

That's about what I thought with the second one, thanks for confirming. I know I will probably never be in that position to find out for myself

If only one, who’s the better option out of Boult and Siddle?

I’m inclined to say Siddle, so long as he can fund your preferred ins in R2.

 

[Darkie]

What do we expect the XIs/batting lineups to look like for tonight?

 

[Diabolical]

If only one, who’s the better option out of Boult and Siddle?

Given the price difference, is there another part to the equation? What would you do with the extra cash if you had Siddle, and does it change R2 trading or looping plans?
