As you said McDermott seems the most likely, but Jewell has also kept before so I wouldn't rule him out. (Doran is a spud so surely they wouldn't go him)

Thanks, @Damion23,
I'm thinking of using Doran as a FD, but wasn't sure if he'd sneak in or not.

They usually seem to slot him in there at some point. He was the golden boy of the ‘system’ for so long, they seem to want to give him any chance to finally deliver

I actually think Pattinson would likely play both games in round 1, if you think about it, the Perth test 12th-16th. He will not play, I’d expect him to be released from the squad to play, he’ll have ample time to get up there for the 17th then the next game on the 20th should really interfere with his preparations for the test on the 26th given, again, he will not play

Given this, I’m thinking heats best 11 might look like this

1. Tom Banton
2. Max Bryant
3. Chris Lynn
4. Matt Renshaw/Sam Heazlett
5. James Peirson
6. Ben Cutting
7. James Pattinson
8. Mark Steketee
9. Mitch Swepson
10. Zahir Khan
11. Ben Laughlin

I think it’s slightly too light on batting - especially when you’ve got firecrackers like Bryant and Lynn there.

Having Peirson at 5 (who is hopeless) is playing with fire - hence why I think they could lose a bowler (Swepson?) and play both Renshaw and Heazlett

 

[Herbie66]

I have seen chatter that Pattinson plays the second game. I think if he’s serious about the tests he wouldn’t play in the BBL but I’ll have to rely on the news closer to the first game

Steketee in strong domestic form and Laughlin definitely plays given the Heat don’t have a good death bowler. I guess I’ll hope Lalor misses out if Pattinson plays.

Cheers for that.

The whole Heat bowling scenario was confusing me too much so took them all out ?

Be a lot easier if we know in advance re Patto (personally I think he only plays the first) and if they go 7 including Peirson it leaves Lalor/Laughlin/Patto/Steketee + the 2 spinners.

Watching Laughlin last season , thought he was lucky the Strikers didn't drop him, think he should have just gone back to Noosa and enjoyed retirement ?

Don't mind Steketee , think 2-3 seasons ago he got a heap of wickets and is cheap enough.

2 weeks to go to find out

not 1 , but 2

Usman Shinwari 5/ Gurney 9
Faheem Ashraf 8/ Nabi 6

 

[Herbie66]

Faheem Ashraf

4 Tests
23 ODI's
27 T20I including a hat trick

 

[Zagbag]

Seen a lot of Ashraf.. he's generallly been found out internationally against decent sides, but he's certainly talented - mixes it up with the ball and gives it a decent whack.

And of course we know Shinwari will be awesome in this format

 

[Beast_Mode]

Unfortunately Shinwari will leave during the middle of the Renegades DGW.

Hopefully Ashraf is priced around the 125k range ala Morris/Livingstone etc or is that wishful thinking?

[Young gun]

I think most would start him and play him in the DGW if named round one and he holds his spot. There don’t seem to be many better rookie options

If he bats at 6 or lower and only bowls one over will he really be worth playing in a DGW? You can easily start him as an NPR because of his price but for now I'm not going to count him as playable on field in the DGW.

Was due for follow up scans yesterday to see if & when he can resume bowling.

I am not sure he is starting XI (haven't asked Voges yet) even then he could be in and out for Marsh

 

[Herbie66]

So if the Renegades have 10 locks the final spot comes down to playing a extra specialist bowler or a extra bat who may bat 6 or 7 depending on DC

Evans/Mennie/Sutherland/Wildermuth
Holland
Fraser-McGurk/Harvey/Webster

Finch
Harris
Marsh
Cooper
Harper (WK)
Christian
Faheem Ashraf
Boyce
Richo man
Usman Khan Shinwari

+ 1

 

[Herbie66]

Gannon & Kuhnemann added to the Heat's roster.

Squad complete

guess Gannon is still classified as a local player then.

There goes Will Sutherlands chance of playing

DGW = Double Game Week
SGW = Single Game Week

but don't trust me for OS players anymore , knew nothing about Gurney being a late arrival ?

Thanks Herbie, thought it was something like that. Now to divulge many pages of information.

Technically it should be DGR & SGR ? , R being Round but we won't let that get in the way.

Pretty confident you will ace it.

 

[Herbie66]

Final Side until Round 1 teams

Curran * , Khawaja , Lynn , Morris * , Peirson (WK) / Heazlett , Green *

Philippe (WK) / Nevill (WK)

Cutting * , O'Keefe , Sams * , Steyn , Laughlin / Holland , Mennie

$ 6,900.00

Peirson obviously the weak link
not overly excited about Laughlin but he can be easily traded to Stanlake in Round 2/3.

Trade Targets in Round 2/3 :-

Carey , Rashid Khan , Stanlake
Turner + ??? + ???
