Discussion SC BBL|11: Diabolical wins $25k major prize...!!!

[Pookus McFly]

All out for 611 Maxwell C

actually not a bad round, except that I captained my lowest scoring player for the third time this season.

Also all kinds of stupid that I traded out a green dot and played with 10 men when I had 6 red dots to choose from. It does fit the theme of this season pretty well though.

 

[Ben's Beasts]

All done for 751

Maxy as captain absolutely horrendous.

 

[Kiewa]

594 with steketee, dwarshuis and bazley, could take renshaw 55 for steketee or dwarshuis also could field duckett instead of taking Rogers 37, think I’m definitely off the pace and going to drop from my rank of 51 overall

 

[squid]

Well, that was a bit underwhelming: no Clarke and 91 off the three Stars that did play.

Will the missing Stars' players be available next game?
If not, time to load up on Adelaide bowlers: DGR and play the Stars

Honeyball reported that the majority will have finished the isolation, but apparently CA trying to work out if they are allowed in SA due to them having different rules for close contacts.

Stars double:
Rauf 104
O'Connell 99
Qais 95
Clarke 87 (1)
Cartwright 78
Couch 59
Wakim 42
Rogers 37 (1)
Dean 37 (1)
Daniyal 31 (1)
Maxwell 28
Rowe 18 (1)
Avendano 12
Crone 4 (1)

Not a lot to write home about!

 

[Professor]

535 with 118 from Couch as captain.
Do I risk it with Dwarsh or Abbott also Heazlett to play.

 

[Jim's Dim Sims]

761 all out. Managed to pick my lowest scorer as C which is quite something. You wouldn't have thought Maxwell could score so low bowling 7 overs but that's the way it goes. Faded him as C in the wrong DGW. Think I'll be around par and hopefully get my ranking moving is a positive direction.

 

[Shanem83]

605 with two of Steketee, Dwarshuis & Bazely to come. Likely put the C on Steketee, maybe Dwarshuis if sixers bowl first.
Is Bazely the one who misses out?

 

[Woosie]

What is that 63.2 malarkey

Giving the statisticians something extra to ponder

"SI" = score involvements

I wish I'd realised this when I picked him but it was interesting to see just before he got out that he hadn't been out of single digits aside from those exact two games in the first double. This is a Maxwell special and it's the reason I hate picking Stars every year.

From the scores I've seen you'll probably be better than par.

Wonder what's wrong with Maxwell? This has to be his worst ever run of scores. He's gone missing for 2-3 games in the past but it's now 4 consecutive games he's been poor.

Yeah that DGW was very frustrating for me. I really thought Russell was the better option but he couldn't find a single wicket despite bowling at the death and then Maxwell comes out with his two best scores for the season by far. I would have taken him on again but I just didn't trust any of the other Stars.

 

[Barefoot Cowboys]

771 all out C Maxwell 😒 lowest scorer

 

[Sideshow Bob]

9/567 C Maxi

Will bench Lynn and take Finch

So annoyed I got lazy and didn’t vc max I have an easy loop to Steketee, so stupid.

DC the other to play, need a couple of miracles I think

 

[Professor]

Maxwell lost 36k, 150odd breakeven, what are people doing?

 

[The Myth]

9/536. C Abbott and Dwarshuis.

Probably a touch off the pace at this point but a good captaincy score can change that.

 

[Rowsus]

Rowsus - 10/634 - Abbott (C) to come - SI = 45.3

Wife's team - 9/591 - Kerr + 1 of Dwarshuis/Bartlett to come. Dwars or Bart to (C) - SI = 45.5

 

[Zack]

Maxy Straight C isn’t a bad call this round any way. Will bowl 8 and probably bats 3.

Remember this?

 

[Woosie]

Rowsus - 10/634 - Abbott (C) to come - SI = 45.3

Wife's team - 9/591 - Kerr + 1 of Dwarshuis/Bartlett to come. Dwars or Bart to (C) - SI = 45.5

How are you working out those SI's?

I would have thought 63.4 for yours since 10 involvements used.

 

[Jim's Dim Sims]

Remember this?

If you guaranteed me 2 innings and 7 overs across the DGW I'd have said he was almost guaranteed to be amongst the top 5 or 10 scorers for the round with his potential for fielding contributions too.
