[Dravid]

Did I read something in the preseason that he averages 80+ their ?

Hopefully they back him in

He hasn't played there a lot, but from memory he's gotten at least a 3fa, 3 times.

 

[Rowsus]

What if it's a 220 pitch and 10 an over is good?

Still applies. Batsmen lose opportunity on a poor pitch where 140 is a good score.
Swings and Round-a-bouts.

 

[Beast_Mode]

Has anyone done some sort of analysis on how much cash a point is worth? ie I took Gilkes over Warner which was roughly 100k for 25 less points. Curious if there is any data where you’d say “yea that feels like a fair trade-off”.

I'll preface by saying these are my own calculations:

• Warner ($151,900) is priced at ~51 pts
• Gilkes ($64,300) is priced at ~22 pts

Therefore Gilkes is marginally ahead of Warner at this stage, although that is largely dependant on how you spend the extra $87k!

 

[Ratzondix]

They really need to bring in negative points for bowlers going over 10 an over. -5 for 10-11, -10 for 11-12 and so on until -20 for 15+.

Reckon they could tie ER into wickets somehow. Go for 20 or less and wickets are worth 20 points. 20-30 wickets are worth 15 points. 30-40 wickets are worth 10 points. 40+ wickets are worth 5 points.

Good memory

Big Bash Board shows 11 wickets from 4 games

 

[Herbie66]

356 last round 😢

2/321 after tonight 😀

 

[Amazing Bombers]

3/245(Warner vc)
Good start with Warner vc and Johnson, Agar low but a lot would have.
Would be happy to have a good week and move up a bit here given I had 4 canes before this round so had to think a lot about adapting trades to make sure I'll have 11 scoring players.

 

[Under The Dome]

2/106

Johnson and Bartlett(VC).

I'll have to decide on holding Sutherland and/or Turner over having the Billings 20 and Bartlett 25 in my final 11.

Something like 20 + 25 + Allen + Bethell + Edwards(C) vs Turner, Sutherland, Maxwell(C), Harper and Edwards

 

[7/11]

Reckon they could tie ER into wickets somehow. Go for 20 or less and wickets are worth 20 points. 20-30 wickets are worth 15 points. 30-40 wickets are worth 10 points. 40+ wickets are worth 5 points.

Like a multiplier? Don’t mind that. I would prefer they halve wicket scores for above 12 per over, x0.8 for 10.01-11.99, 1x for 8.01-10, x1.25 for 6.01-8 and 1.5x for 6 and under.

 

[Old Big 'Ead]

VC Ferguson did ok and I'll probably lock that in ... And extra 10 points at the end would have been nice though!

Great unique VC considering your position in the rankings

1/406 (Ferguson)

• Ferguson 86 VC (will take)
• Christian 83 (BWL E)
• Johnson 81
• Warner 70

A great start! Fortunate to have one of those nights where everything turned into gold. A DC swansong my personal highlight!

Fantastic score. Absolute gold!

 

[Tamuhawk]

2/49

Took the risk and only have the one Thunder player expecting the Weds game to be washed out. New trade in Bartlett horrible.

 

[Old Big 'Ead]

0/34 2 SI

Agar (VC) & Green with Billings (E)

Fickle game!! Played around with all sorts of Thunder combinations all day with Warner, Ferguson, DC, & Green. Already had Agar & Billings. Land on the worse possible combination. Got scared off by the forecasted rain and made stupid decisions

Need to come up with a plan so that I have some back up for the Stars vs Sixers game if the Agar manages, somehow, to turn Wednesday night around, assuming there is a game. May have to fade Marsh/Sutherland - have 8 players tomorrow night atm.

Last season, I had all the luck, this season, to the contrary, have had little. Well done to all those who got it right tonight

 

[THCLT]

1/367 (Ferguson)
6 SI @ 61.2
Green 12th man duty after the 1st game

Already had 3 Thunders and traded in Green & Ferguson tonight after much deliberation, liked the matchup for my 2 ins regardless of the inclement weather on the horizon for their 2nd game. Happy to have gotten off to a decent start and luckily landed on Ferguson with the VC, so I'll take that even if this round was to revert back to being a SGR (though may put pressure on my team being able to field 12 Curran/Jordan/Chaudhary).

 

[Archer01]

What if it's a 220 pitch and 10 an over is good?

This can apply in the complete other direction. What if it’s an absolute minefield and 30 runs is amazing? Can’t account for everything so unfortunately match situation kinda has to be ignored.

 

[Gumwah]

284, Johnson, Billings, Christian, Agar, Green and Ferguson on the field.

 

[Herbie66]

Just looking at the Australian team that played in the Hong Kong Sixers in November

Christian , Fawad Ahmed , Fekete , Hazlett (C) , James Pattinson , Ross , Wood

Christian 155 (43) for the tournament , 4 Innings , once out

0/82 from 3.5 overs

 

[Balaji]

125/1. Billings Vc ( not taking the C points) Johnson played. Wes agar just generating cash and scoring no points.

 

[Boomerstar08]

1/201 (more likely 4/201 considering weather)
Green 10 (VC)
Agar 24
Ferguson 86
Johnson 81

Fading Warner probably wasn't the best idea, though I'll take it considering he easily could've made another 30 odd runs if he didn't decide to try and reverse sweep a yorker...
Annoyed I didn't pick up DC either. Someone who I bloody love, but didn't commit too. Also had the VC on Ferg basically the whole day, but changed it with like 3 minutes until lockout.. to Green
Very very pleased with Johnson. Ever since I brought him (which was on the Heat double), never looked back on him. Very stiff to also go for 39 off his 4. Batsmen got a bit lucky with edges, but that's the game.

A very mixed night for me. Whilst I'm happy with the likes of Ferg and Johnson, Wes and Green really couldn't have played more poorly.

Another annoying thing is that I don't have any great C options for Stars vs Sixers. So I can't really wait to see out the weather on Wednesday. I've got Stoin and Philippe and whilst both are excellent players, not too sure if I'll C any of them.

Will likely go Connolly C for tomorrow night vs Gades.

 

[Rowsus]

125/1. Billings Vc ( or taking the C points) Johnson played. Wes agar just generating cash and scoring no points.

I hate to inform you, but Agar on track to LOSE around $10+k, rather than generate cash.
Could lose double that if Wednesday's game gets started, IF he is selected!!!!

Welcome aboard.
That's a good enough start, and not having Warner is countered by having both Ferg and Johnson.
Just my 2 cents, I think waiting for Green's second score (if there is one), then if disatisfied plonking for Stoinis is possibly worth considering.
