All my eggs first up then. Stoinis C, Maxy and Harper
2nd innings is just bonus.

8/421

Hmm Stars bowling second is a worry given they historically don’t take many second inning wickets (as @Rowsus has pointed out a few times with some good stats!).

Might bring in Abbott and chuck the C on Edwards. Although still weighing up Maxi as a trade in. Might flip a coin..

 

[Under The Dome]

Not liking Maxwell down that far. Bowler light gives all rounders overs

 

[Dravid]

Webster at 3?

Quite right!
Averaging only 3.3 wkts/innings when bowling second across this season and last season. That's against a competition average of near 6/innings.

 

[Aston]

Stoinis or Edwards C?

 

[Rowsus]

Stoinis or Edwards C?

Looking at the post above yours, Edwards may not get to bat, so Stoinis.

 

[Zoltdon]

I think I'm just going to take a punt on (C) Phillipe. Only other option i have is Stoin but Webster could easily take his 2 overs or so that he normally gets.

 

[Melmo]

Not sure who to captain between Edwards, Dwarsh and Philippe. Think Dwarsh might be the best option bowling first, Edwards probably doesn’t get a bat, and might only bowl 3 overs, and Philippe just has the risk of being a batsman.

 

[Pacifico]

Stoinis or Edwards C?

I'd go edwards since no bird in the lineup, they will likely want him to bowl 2 in the powerplay and bowl a third around the 10 over mark. always like whoever is bowling first regardless of role. catch is he may not bat though.

Stoin has bowled 2 games in a row, so his overs will naturally go elsewhere this game because their is no rhyme or reason to who bowls at the stars. also has two good scores in a row with the willow, due for a fail

 

[MattyP]

Phillippe, Maxwell or Stoin for C? Not happy with any of them really.

 

[Rowsus]

Good to see the toss and teams all done and made public in a timely manner for once!

 

[Chumpion]

Phillippe the safest floor with some likely keeping points, Maxi the highest upside but high risk. Stoinis could do anything but I just don’t know if the trust factor is there.

Thanks for this. I'd pick Maxi for sure if he wasn't batting so low. Leaning Phillippe.

 

[Zoku Pops]

Haven't backed my gut nearly enough after a strong start so going Maxy as C. Batting first so will definitely get a hit and surely rolls the arm over tonight.

He is also due.

I think Philippe is less likely to excite you with his score but also less likely to be a crushing disappointment. What is your priority? Getting out of the round with a score between 40-60 or are you chasing 80+ to win a match up? If the former go Philippe, if the later go Max
