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..
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.

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.

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

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