I'd say whitney, the hype coming out of qld cricket about him is insane, our golden child right now. not the best white ball bowler yet, but qld could look to give him experience for a while.

Wood won't ever bowl, but can hit a long ball, and prestwidge bowls rapid but is probably not a good enough bowler, but can hit a long ball.

Don't think any have season long job security no matter what they do though.

Agree with these thoughts. Just realised I can't move to the bowlers line, so it's either Wood or Drew. Going to go Wood. Feels like a lottery between those 2. But at least Wood has the DPP if he turns into a huff

Webster was bowling in the warm up pre game would expect overs tonight

 

[Dravid]

Would be surprised if he actually lines up there.

Would you bat him ahead of any of the top 7?

 

[KLo30]

Sarah Jones with the massive heels towering over Warner, Lynny and Maxi.

 

[Ben's Beasts]

Would you bat him ahead of any of the top 7?

Yeah would have him batting ahead of Curran despite Curran equal top scoring in game 1 for the Stars with the bar set very, very low.

 

[Shaunpro1]

I'd have him 8, he was 7 last time he played for us and we have Curran now.

Thoughts on just trading Wildermuth down to a basement loop?

I find the extra loop player to be very handy and since there are limited byes this year, they could be used more than we think.

Id get a guy playing wherever possible cash generation is still important.

Forgot to mention it last night, but it was really good to see what Konstas did last night (despite not picking him in my team). I think it was last season (maybe the one before) there was only 1 new Australian based player in the entire BBL - should be blooding more young cricketers rather than relying on 40 year olds to fill spots.

The challenge for teams with a good start is finding high values players worth trading.
Take for example, would you trade Webster or Sutherland? One is losing cash with a double in Rnd 3, the other is making cash with a bye in Rnd 3. You could argue to keep either or trade either.
How do you get Overton, short, Inglis, Dorf this week? How do you get Abbott, Walter, Edwards the round after?

Edit: I forgot Maxwell as a Rnd 3 option.

Is 4/843 a good enough start for me to have a say here?

 

[Dravid]

Looking like a good pitch

 

[blue dreamer]

Marsh only bowled 2 overs yesterday, on a day where one of Australia's main bowlers went down. With Hazelwood out, can't see them resting Starc (or Cummins) and they now have back to back tests at the end of a long series. If Marsh can't bowl, Webster becomes an option and based on what CA have done, he might not play BBL at all.


You can't get them all, particularly if you want to generate some cash for the back end.

Hence my final paragraph.

If I still can do maths at least 4 have to play

David & Meredith most likely locks
Jewell or Owen (is the hype real ?) for 1 spot
Hatz or Stanlake for 1 spot

Sorry Mr Bean you miss out

 

[Shaunpro1]

Kellaway batting 9? Might as well have just played Siddle

Only thing I can think is they might give him an over or two, has bowled in lower levels and isnt the worst.

 

[Dravid]

They've got through 2 overs... Surely that's enough to bump Webster up to 3?

 

[Tamuhawk]

Spoke too soon... 🤣

 

[7/11]

No.6 was like batting at 3-4 for any other team last game, so might not need to wait too long.

 

[Dravid]

Spoke too soon... 🤣

Why do that when you can throw Harper in at 3 to swipe everything across the line!

 

[nmh94]

Need these two runs from Clarke ...
