Discussion BBL|13: Super Early Planning Thread - Diabolical quest for a 3-peat

[Herbie66]

Brook
Rashid (retention)
Jordan
QDK
Hales
Curran (retention)
Munro
Pass

Hurricanes originally picked Curran

 

[Herbie66]

the pass being allowed is still the dumbest thing about this draft

Probably don't want someone with limited availability , interestingly though the only one who nominated full availability was Mills.

See whether they go platinum or gold in the second round

 

[Herbie66]

What chance (zero & none I am guessing) Brook gets priced on his season average @ the Hurricanes ?

 

[Herbie66]

Round 2

Rauf
Overton , J
Hain
Mujeeb
Zaman Khan
Vince
Billings
Crawley

 

[Herbie66]

Round 3

PS - Evans
BH - Paul Walter
SS - pass
ST - pass
MR - pass
HH - Corey Anderson @Woosie
AS - pass
MS - pass

 

[mike89]

Three teams have passed twice, electing to make their selections closer to the season.

What is the point of this draft?

I guess to be more specific, what is the point of doing it so early? So much can change between now and then - just ask the Scorchers - that the landscape now might not even be relevant to December.

 

[Herbie66]

Look away @Pacifico

Round 4

MS - Usama Mir
AS - Hose
HH - pass
MR - pass (only selected 2 players)
ST - pass (only selected 2 players)
SS - Rehan Ahmed
BH - pass
PS - pass (only selected 2 players)

 

[Shannon]

Crawley & Evans are perfect additions to the Scorchers squad for mine.

Perth Scorchers squad :-
Ashton Agar, Jason Behrendorff, Cooper Connolly, Aaron Hardie, Nick Hobson, Josh Inglis, Matthew Kelly, Mitch Marsh, Lance Morris, Jhye Richardson, Ashton Turner, Andrew Tye, Zak Crawley & Laurie Evans

Guess at the best 11 :-

1. Crawley
2. Evans
3. Marsh
4. Hardie
5. Turner
6. Inglis
7. Agar
8. Richardson
9. Morris
10. Tye
11. Behrendorff

Strong team that will be one of the favourites again.

 

[Herbie66]

AS - Hose, Overton , RK19
BH - Billings , Munro , Walter
HH - Anderson , Hain , Jordan
MR - Mujeeb , QDK
MS - Brook , Rauf , Usama Mir
PS - Crawley , Evans
SS - Curran , Rehan Ahmed , Vince
ST - Hales , Zaman Khan

I know they only had to pick a minimum of 2 players each , I would have thought now that any other OS players are replacement players , haven't come across anything that they can defer a third selection to a later date , sounds bizarre.

ILT20 retentions and new signings have been done , SA20 auction is later this month.

Might still end up losing a heap of players to the Abu Dhabi T10 & Sri Lanka T10.

Agree it does seem a strange time to hold it.

Round 3

PS - Evans
BH - Paul Walter
SS - pass
ST - pass
MR - pass
HH - Corey Anderson @Woosie
AS - pass
MS - pass

When they read out Paul Walter I was like come on really, could’ve got Craig Overton or someone that was at least half decent

 

[Herbie66]

Afghanistan - 2
England - 13
New Zealand - Munro (has retired)
Pakistan - 3
South Africa - QDK
USA - Anderson

So aside from the Abu Dhabi T10 , Sri Lanka T10 , BPL , SA20 & ILT 20.

Afghanistan have a T20I series v India Jan 11-17

England have a white ball series v West Indies Dec 3 - 21 then the Indian test series starts Jan 25

Pakistan tour Australia them go to New Zealand for a white ball series Jan 12 - 21

QDK still has a CSA contract and South Africa have white ball matches v India Dec 10 - 21, before 2 Tests (he has retired) - curious if CSA release him or not

Absolutely never heard of him.

Reasonable recent numbers for Essex Eagles & Manchester Originals.

Watched him in the hundred and pretty much like Ross Whitely but 6’6

 

[Damion23]

updated teams after draft some strong teams now.

(of cause some players will come into the team when the Aussies play, and overseas players come and go)

 

[Herbie66]

Is he more of a bowling all rounder or batting all rounder.

Hopefully gets priced at $ 62,500.00 might be worth a punt if the Heat start with a DGR.

Possibly but he’ll be down at 6-7 and bowl 2-3 so decent for $62,500 but not great role. More of a batting all rounder, better bowler than Ross Whitely but not astounding, Gabba should suit him with the big boundaries as he bowled lots of slower balls into the wicket during the hundred.

Appreciate the intel

 

[FlatTrackBully]

No problem, lots of quality players that missed out like Atkinson and Mills from platinum as well as Banton, Carse, Dawson, Mahmood, Overton, Potts, Shadab, Naseem Shah, De Leede, Farooqi, Hosein and Raza who I was pretty confident would get picked somewhere down the line. We’ll see if a few might find themselves as replacements down the line or for some as their third international.

 

[Ben]

I highly doubt they'll have walters at 62k, usually players like him are around 105k.

BBL draft was super disappointing tonight I won't lie. 13 Englishmen picked makes me inclined to believe the only research that most teams did was watching the Hundred. Draft probably should be scrapped after 2 failures in a row
