Great post.

Lot of love for Billings on here and a few Podcasts I have listened to , interesting not a lot of difference in their SC averages last season , Billings 37.75 v Peirson 36.64.

Personally think Peirson is a big chance for the PM XI Squad.

Been trying to find out if Johnson has flown to India or not (or if not when he , Behrendorff , David , Ellis , Short & Wade are flying out , 1st T20I is Thursday)
Johnson is already ruled out of the T20s, withdrew from the squad.

With so many teams on the R1 double (or triple) is Philippe more valuable? I honestly don’t know which way to go, if either.
Other factor is Philippe is in horrible form with the bat - had a terrible shield season so far, playing some really poor shots/ poor shot selection. On the verge of getting dropped even with Inglis playing for Australia.

Screams unlikely to be fit for round 1.

Possibility of genuinely running only 1 heat player growing by the day for me.
Yep. I only have 2 atm, seems light. But really not that confident on many Heat. And also don’t want to get stuck round 3 with Heat/Strikers

QDK one I really can’t decide on. Could be great, form is there, but 180k is a bit. That said, 5 games in first 3 rounds

2/4 good knocks in marsh cup is at least something.

Don’t mind the idea of going against Phillipe, but he seems very good value on a dgw and his previous exploits.

Hi Everyone,

I hope all are doing good. Exciting to be back after a year, since last bbl. Firstly, best of luck for India & Australia for the big day today in front of a Lakh crowd at the stadium and the millions on tv. Am sure it’s gonna be a cracker of a game 💪🏻
Coming back to bbl, great to hear that this season has trimmed down the no. of games, which am sure will lessen the fatigue and the fun at the same time. Can’t wait to keep learning from you guys as how to better myself this season!
cheers and good luck all!

How many are taking Sutherland? Still seems a bit of a POD from what I can tell
He’s been in my side for a while now. Should bat 7 and bowl 4 through the middle. Probably gets elevated to pinch hit as well. The type of role that I’m very keen on. Bowling form is particularly good. Got amongst the runs yesterday. Pretty close to locked in my side.

Yeah. The role is good. He’s also a good fielder too. An all rounder with 5 games through the first 3 rounds feels too good to pass up

Little concerned what his role ends up being for 150K personally, would assume Rogers,Richardson,Siddle,Mujeeb and Zampa will all be picked at least to start the season, could be sharing overs and batting 6 very easily I reckon.

If he’s the 6th bowler he’s an easy avoid imo. I can’t see them running those 5 + Sutherland tho, that’s a very very long tail. Three of those are really number 11s. Rogers is okay with the bat but he’s not a guy you want at 7.

But if they do, isn’t too tough switching to a Curran/Clarke or Zampa/Mujeeb if you got duals.

Which bowler would get left out? Siddle maybe? Guy is like 38-39 now
