The Myth said:
I think it’s definitely viable leaving Short out round 1.

But unless he bowls 0-1 overs in that first game, not having him for the second game seems like a massive risk. Particularly when considering the most appealing captain that week outside of Short is likely to be Hardie - who will play both games away.

R1 - Thunder - Last 3 games 119, 159, 137

Guess you either start him or don't worry about him :rolleyes:

If Scorchers play 6-5 Hardie might have limited overs himself though , especially with Connolly and Turner back.

Quietly hoping one of Hardie/Webster is in the Test Squad so I don't have to worry about trying to fit both in.

So what I’m seeing from those numbers is that Short is due for a return to the mean performance? :ROFLMAO:

In all seriousness, it will be scary not starting him, but in terms of balancing a squad it may be a necessity.

Time to think up a new strategy ...
  • Each round, you'll score from your best 11 players only in any position, from your selected, on-field Starting 12 (including your Flex player selection). You'll still need to ensure that your best available players are in your starting 12 line-up.
  • Select up to 3 Emergencies for each of the three (WKP, BAT, BWL) positions. Emergencies will continue to replace non-starting players in your Starting line-up, in the same position (including any 'bye' player that you may have left in your starting line-up) and their score will only count if it is in your Best 11. Note that there is NO emergency cover for your selected Flex player.
  • Set a Captain (and Vice Captain) as you normally would for double points (your Flex player can also be named Captain/Vice Captain). If your Captain's doubled score is NOT in your Best 11 scores, then their points will not count - you simply get your Best 11 scores only. Similarly, if your Captain's doubled-score is NOT in your Best 11 scores, you do NOT automatically receive double points from your Vice Captain - your Vice Captain only receives double points if your Captain does not play for any reason.

I haven't thought through the strategic implications yet but my initial reaction is extremely positive. Nice to see them being a bit creative.

Still going with the same strike rate bonus and minimum 20 run requirement though which is a pity.

‘Flex’ player added to the game as a 12th man.

“Your team will score points from your best 11 players with your flex providing additional cover and strategies when managing your squad”

Do you know what the funny thing is about this new feature is... it was leaked 6 days ago (on codesports) and no one picked up on it ha ha (I may have shared it with a selected few)

Ollie Pope $ 152k hasn't played a white ball international at all nor played in any T20 leagues outside of England , wish they would justify their pricing on new OS players and advise what it is based on instead of just having standard prices.

Rishad $ 85k 🤔
