Yes as per my opening post in this thread.

There's a dedicated Squads and Team Line Ups thread where you can go and check as required, one of us will add to that thread as the information becomes available. You can post that type of information on this thread should you wish to do so, provided that it hasn't already been posted by another member, otherwise it will get deleted to avoid duplication.

Cool 👍 bananas

Thank you

Definitely seems lineball, hadn't really expected bethel to score 111


Yeah so basically i'll need to drop a playing player to take bethels score, hence doran coming back into the lineup form the bench.

Gut call says be defensive and lock in points wherever i can given the carnage of this round, Nagging uber aggresive thought is that i'm already behind pretty much every other team anyway, and given i'd have 3 guys on zero + the likes of ferguson&JFM in my starting 12 that it may be better to roll the dice a bit harder on another scoring outlet.

Chaudhary is the in that can swap to jordan should i want a starting bowling option

Oh man Turner & Bancroft donuts, that's rough. Trying to grasp the situation myself and unsure if I've gotten this right but it looks to be:

Bethell 111 + donut
Vs
Overton V Chaudhary/Jordan

You could bank probably just bank the 111 and hope the wet weather messes up with Overton & your eventual cane trade in.

Hatcher $ 64,100.00 might be worth a punt

options are

Bethel (VC) / Overton, Thornton, Lynn & Doran/donut
vs
Bethel/ Overton(VC) Thornton, Lynn & Jordan/choudhary

Or Bethel (VC), overton, thornton, Jordan/chaudhary & donut/doran

probably leaning option 3 at this stage

If only I’d just kept Sam Harper, would have another 41 points and not stuck with Bancroft who is out for the season (and his team always plays first so useless for looping) and would have turfed turner or mcgurk instead.

Time for me to go rogue and skip the other Thunder players.

Overton > Maxwell
Turner > Bethell
Sutherland > Bartlett

Is Lockie Ferguson around for both games of the Thunder double?

Honeyball says he is

Serious question... If DC is named, how viable do we think he is?

Thunder could easily go in with a top six of Warner, Nikitaras, Gilkes, Davies, Billings and Rutherford. Won't get many overs out of them!

If he's named I'll probably role the dice on him given his price. It's an easy straight swap from one of the dead wood guys I'm currently stuck with and there is some upside there..

That is a really good question and I don't know the answer.

I have seen some posts about his batting form (albeit in grade cricket), there are lots of questions, is he just a break glass option (are the thunder with out Bancroft and Sams at that point?).

If he is named and you need a cheap option, he may be worth a shot (may need to be looped), but I really don't know, so not much good to you...

Anybody care to have a stab at Thunder’s XI?

I’m thinking;

Warner
Gilkes
Davies
Billings
Rutherford
Green
Weibgen
Hatcher
Andrews
Ferguson
Agar

Something like that with Konstas sliding in somewhere in the top 4 in game 2.

Yep, Konstas likely comes in for Weibgen and opens with Warner with the rest of the batters sliding down a spot.

If he is named in the XI over a bowler such as Hatcher then he looks somewhat viable but if he’s there in addition to five bowlers then he doesn’t look particularly appealing, especially with Konstas expected for the second game of their double this round.

Think this is the conclusion I've come to as well. Can play him as a fifth bowler but not a sixth.

If they line up anything like you've suggested I think I'd throw the VC on Green!

Warner v Jhye Richo?

Does Nathan McAndrew come back in after losing his spot to Agar?

Does Nathan McAndrew come back in after losing his spot to Agar?

I think I read previously that he was currently injured, but don't quote me on it, it appears he is not in the squad for the game against the Heat tonight

 

[Herbie66]

Not in tonight's Squad

Shoulder injury sidelining him at present.
