Just not sure the guy you omit to pick the loop actually makes any money anyway, my last bench spot would probably be one of Whiteman/McGurk/Connolly and think they are all 50/50 at best to be playing in 3 rounds.

If I think I'm going to end up with a donut anyway I'd much rather the expense be 42K.

Yeah I do agree. Haven’t had a nuff all pre season but might see what it looks like tonight. Only issue will be I’ll have to straight field Sangha in round 2 given I’ll want to hold Rauf and will potentially have the nuff

Excellent info Herbie.

It does make me feel slightly left out though, not having an ILT20 contract.

Maybe they can share a flight.

That’s great news on Connolly, but then Agar is back. I wonder if Connolly opens to give them another bowling option? Makes Whiteman irrelevant if that happens

Does he open (or play) Game 3 though when Crawley is apparently definitely available ?

Crawley
Eskinazi
Hardie
Inglis
Turner
Evans
Agar (?) - played practice match
Richardson
Kelly (?) - played practice match
Tye
Behrendorff

Would arguably be their Best XI

Test Squad : Marsh , Morris

Others : Connolly , Haskett , Hobson , McKenzie , Whiteman

A lot of guys from teams could play 1-2 games in Round 1 but be missing in Round 2.

Then again they could get the opportunity and force someone else to be dropped.

Depending on how many Stars people want to bench could create big problems early on.

Yeah that’s the worry isn’t it. Might even be an option to fade both Perth cheapies? But there’s not much else

New to posting in the group, and currently facing the same dilemma as what seems to be facing many of the group, wanting to be able to start a loop for R1 while not sacrificing SI's.

Was just wondering if anyone had any information of the likelihood of either Sams or Agar missing R1 and playing R2? Or any ideas on other options missing R1 and playing R2, while having their fixture(s) late in the round to maximise flexibility?

Evans or Inglis could also open and take the gloves. Whiteman almost irrelevant if that happens as Connelly gives middle order hitting and another bowling option.
