Just a few scorchers :P
LOL - and North who isnt a Scorcher.... :)
at $37k He is a bargain considering his recent form!
I know a thing or two about cricket but nothing about fantasy cricket :P
First up effort here, thoughts?
Aaron Finch (C)
Shaun Marsh (VC)
Cam White
Alex Doolan
Mitch Marsh
Michael Neser
Chris Hartley
Lasith Malinga
Nathan Coulter-Nile
Clint McKay
Dougy Bollinger
Marcus North, Moises Henriques, Peter Nevill, Trent Copeland.
15k in the bank ;) Basically just picked all my favourites in Doolan, Marsh (x2), Coulter-Nile and Dougy then the a few bargains on the bench and the out and out guns like Finch and Malinga to lead the team!
Oh, and Cameron White :P
Looking good ele, only thing is that Malinga won't be playing the first two matches due to international commitments. Mabye downgrade him to a guy like Murali and upgrade Neser to a star all-rounder such as Christian or Botha? (not sure if you can afford it, might just fall short).
Or you could just go Malinga to pretty much any bowler you want and keep the cash up your sleeve as you'll want to get him in when he returns anyway. 8)
Haha legend! Yeah only just short, I'll have a tinker. Thanks mate :)
Just a question on teams, how much notice do we get for team sheets and is it like rolling lockout? Cheers boys!
Not too sure on team sheets, I think clubs normally announce a 12 man squad a day or two before the match and name the XI at the toss.
As for lockouts, it is rolling and you can trade a player as soon as he plays his match, so you can get heaps of points if you use the trading system properly. It's very complex though. I will be doing an article on it for SuperCoach HQ sometime in the next couple of weeks, so it should be a useful read.
Awesome BB, sounds brilliant! :D
Should be fun :)
here's my team as it stands
A. Finch, A. Hales, C.White, A. Voges: T. Head
D. Christian, M. Henriques: A. Keath
T. Paine: C. Kieswetter
B. Hilfenhaus, N. Coulter-Nile, S. Tait, D. Bollinger: G. Putland
DT talk does a thing on fantasy BBL. Also, should we set up a group thing, as we'll be having 2 or 3 leagues.
Yep and Yep :)
Considering just benching Malinga for the first two games. Don't wanna have to go to the trouble of trading him in. :P

1. Aaron Finch (Leading BBL|02 fantasy point getter.)
2. Eoin Morgan (English International with a very handy T20 record.)
3. Ravi Bopara (All-rounder classified as a batsman)
4. Alex Hales (Averages almost 40 in T20I and should dominate along with Klinger and Reardon in a weak Strikers lineup.)
5. Luke Wright (Top score of 99* in T20I and is very handy with the ball too, probably the most likely one to be traded out by me before the first game.)
6. Moses Henriques (Underpriced for what he can produce)
7. Peter Nevill (The Renegades sole keeper is a massive steal at that price)
8. Ben Cutting (What needs saying here? A great bowler who will bat at 6-7 for the Heat and clubs them into the stand all night long.)
9. Dirk Nannes (You'd be struggling to find a more economical T20 bowler)
10. Aaron O'Brien (All rounder classified as a bowler, will bat 7-8 for the Renegades and is very handy with both bat and ball.)
11. Nathan Coulter-Nile (Underpriced)
12. Jordan Silk (Ive heard a lot of promising things about this guy.
13. Trent Lawford (Should play most games as a bowling all rounder.)
14. Chirs Hartley (Arguable the best gloveman in Aus, will bat at 9 for the Heat however.)
15. Ashton Turner (Heard that he has a chance to cement a regular place and for 32k Im willing to take a punt)
Cash left: 900
4 England players :o
Thoughts much appreciated. :)

There is no way that Hartley will bat at 9. He opened in the Big Bash last year and opened in the Ryobi Cup this year. While he probably won't be at the top of the order any more, the lowest I think he would bat is 6.

Im in go the drongos!
1. Aaron Finch - Loves this form. Will go nuts.
2. Shaun Marsh - Similar to Finchy.
3. Cam White - We all know how dangerous he can be.
4. Tommy Cooper - Has the ability to put in a good score late the innings, nice price.
5. Shoaib Malik - Gun all-rounder. Game time a plenty surely.
6. Glenn Maxwell - No explanations needed.
7. Chris Hartley - Cheap, gun, lock.
8. Lasith Malinga - You're asking for trouble not having him.
9. Ben Laughlin - Bowls well, handy with the bat.
10. Gurinder Sandhu - Has being doing well for NSW, should do well.
11. Adam Zampa - This guy is seriously good, worry of Botha bowling more than him though.
12. Jordan Silk - Future Aussie batsman.
13. Hilton Cartwright - I like this guy, could be serviceable.
14. Phil Nevill - Love this lad, Gades main man (doubt Buttler will keep).
15. Scott Boland - #vicsdoitbetter Perfect replacement for Malinga when he doesn't play.

Ringos Stars is in as well
Finch, Morgan, D Hussey, Forest, Silk
Botha, Hopes, Henriques
Hartley, Dunk
Cutting, Vetorri, Coulter-Nile, Bollinger, Copeland
Strong Heat flavour there Ringo. :P
I'm in 8) Jay's Jets!
Off Course Nige but seriously though why would you not have Cutting and Vetorri as they take wickets in this form and also wield the willow.
Forest always goes well in this comp, Hartley is the best gloveman in Oz and has opened in this bash before and scored reasonably. Hopes was last choice as trying to fit in Salary Cap would have been someone else if I could afford.
So there is the other fan footy league full as well?
Will be good to see which league is better. :)
Yes Windy it was full went I went to join so had to join this otehr one still 2 vacant spots in it.
If they are all full open another
FF Warriors 731049
3rd year playing, not nearly as good as fantasy footy but still fun!

Im finding picking the bowlers the hardest, Gotta keep enough funds for the international players come round 3. Hopefully Patterson is up and running for round 1 but i haven't heard anything.
Any more leagues lads?
Created a team just now.
1. Aaron Finch - No more to be said apart from he is the man of T20.
2. Luke Pomersbach - One of the leading scorers from last years cop, in smashing from for QLD atm.
3. Alex Hales - Average of 40 in international T20's, gun.
4. Cameron White- In some amazing form, and loves to score quickly.
5. Johan Botha - Takes a ton of wickets and handy down the order.
6. Mouses Henriques - Bowls good medium pace and can bat well in any situation.
7. Peter Nevill - Will get plenty of opportunity, cheap.
8. Ben Cutting - Gun, good bowler, great bottom order bat.
9. Dirk Nannes - Is a freak with the new ball.
10. Douglas Bollinger - In good form and can take wickets aplenty.
11. Nathan Hauritz - Should get a lot of opportunity and can take wickets.
12. Nic Maddinson - Gun bat, will get plenty of opportunity.
13. John Hastings - Experienced, all rounder who can take wickets and smash the ball.
14. Chris Hartley - Experienced all rounder.
15. Trent Copeland - Good line and length bowler, tight and effective.
$15,100 in the kitty.

Yeah, he has asked for a bit of SuperCoach advice from SuperCoach HQ a few times and we asked him if he would be up for an interview, replied back in the middle of a Shield game that he would be happy to answer questions later! Sent him over a few questions and he replied quickly. Seems like a great guy.

haha me too.
Hughes should go alright on the adelaide pitch but i just dont see him as a t20 player for some reason. In form though.
I was thinking one of the perth openers, Marsh or Smith but you dont want Finch to fire and not have him
Obviously we are all opposed to one another in the group but overall we should try help each other out to get the best possible rank!
Just wondering about everyones thoughts on pitches.
The Gabba and WACA are pretty well known to have some serious bounce so early its good for the bowlers but if batsmen cange in there are serious runs up for grabs.
Adelaide we know is a very flat track so plenty in it for batsmen like Hughes and Klinger.
Bellerieve is often covered in some grass so the swing bowlers will love it. Guys like Laughlin would be worth a punt.
Apparently Etihad turns a lot so look at Murali as a genuine front line bowler.
Can anyone add to this? Cheers lads!
If you haven't got Jordan Silk as your bench bat, you're gonna have a bad time. :P

Haha Laughlin is not really a swing bowler. If you watched him in the Ryobi Cup he is more of an off spinner. His stock ball in the shorter forms is an off cutter which gets bowled a lot. Still, a good choice though.

Yeah, thats the way i see it except the pitches seem favored towards the batsmen in t20 so could have less venom in them.
Sixes seem a bit depleted so i thinkiing someone like abbot could be good for the first couple of rounds as he should get a bat aswell

Yeah, that's fair enough he can get a bit of reverse swing. Either way though, he is definitely a very unorthodox bowler, but can be great fun to watch!

Has anyone heard any word on whether or not Marcus North is going to play in the Big Bash?
Have not heard anything official on North BB but he is on indefinite leave from the Warriors following the death of his brother. Whether that effects his Big Bash commitments is unknown at this stage.

Who are you? ???
I'd keep Maxy until he gets an ODI call-up (which could happen).
Then I'd just bring in Hafeez.

Trading system is as it was last year so it is quite different to all other fantasy competitions. I am hoping to get my trade guide done tonight so that should explain everything in a fair amount of detail.
what is the trading system? :O I didn't play it last year. :(

Pretty much you get 2 trades to use each round, but you can use them St any stage during the round on nay player, as long as they are not currently in a match.
So, for example, I can have Finch in my team tonight, and the in the morning I can trade him out for a Sixes player who is yet to play this round, and I will get points for both of them. So it's quite a complex system to manipulate properly and get maximum points.
Do we know if North is gonna be playing in the Big Bash yet?
hmmmm, so it might be worth to start with more players playing in the first game of the round. :o
Hmm actually reading their ugh the rules on the site now I think they may have changed if for this year.
From how I see it now, it is just using a basic rolling lockout like in Super Coach. Could someone else please get on there a day give the rules a read to make sure I am understanding it Correctly? The last thing I want to do is give people the wrong information.
A. Finch, D. Hussey, M. Klinger, T. Birt (M. North)
J. Botha, L. Wright (A. McDonald)
C. Hartley (C. Kieswetter)
M. Muralidaran, N. Coulter-Nile, D. Vettori, C. McKay (F. Ahmed)
$2,300 in the bank.

Get rid of McDonald. He is out injured for the whole competition.
Wow really? I can't find anything about him being injured. It says his status is fit on his player profile.

Cheers, looks like Henriques will be taking his spot despite my dislike for him.
In my phone, and saw this on Facebook, so can't post a link, but take a look at Joe Burns' team. It doesn't look to good to me, lol.
Nrich, stop trying to claim Mitch as a Queenslander.
He plays and lives in WA so he's ours ;)
This should help...
From the Gades' FB page.
Your Melbourne Renegades squad V Stars; Aaron Finch (C), Fawad Ahmed, Jos Buttler, Tom Cooper, Alex Doolan, Jake Haberfield, Jayde Herrick, Muthiah Muralidaran, Peter Nevill, Aaron O'Brien, Nathan Rimmington, Ben Rohrer, Will Sheridan. Get on red!
That's 13 guys, two will obviously miss out.
Finch
Doolan
Buttler
Rohrer
Nevill
Cooper
Herrick
Murali
Rimmington
O'Brien
Sheridan
That's my guess, Haberfield and Fawad to miss I'd say. They might play Fawad over Obi though, but Obi's an allrounder though.
And here's the Stars squad!
Cameron White (c), Jackson Bird, Peter Handscomb, John Hastings, Brad Hodge, David Hussey, Alex Keath, Glenn Maxwell, Clint McKay, Clive Rose, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade and Luke Wright!
I'd expect Keath and Stoinis to miss out, meaning the team will look something like...
Wright
White
Hodge
Hussey
Maxwell
Wade
Handscomb
Bird
Hastings
McKay
Rose

Maxwell

Nevill
(Hartley)
Cutting
Nannes
Richardson
Coulter-Nile
(Copeland)
Not sure about my all rounders mostly, Will the stars fit Faulkner, Wright and Maxwell in the same team?
Also no idea how the byes work if there is any?
Faulkner's injured at the moment, so don't worry too much about him.
Maxi and Wrighty can play in the same team easily.
Wrighty usually opens for us and is a seamer.
Maxi excels in this form of the game and just has the knack of making his presence felt with both bat and ball.
If you were to pick one, go Maxi (no bias) and he's a chance to both bat and bowl. However, if he gets called up for the Aussies' ODI team, jump on somebody else like Hafeez from the Gades.

Half the teams have a bye and then play twice in another round, the rest just play one game a round. It mentions in the rules on the site somewhere which teams have which and when they play.
If your player is out for that round they won't score, and if they play twice in the round they score points for both matches and are locked in after the first game.
Double games are paramount to success. :)
Just like in NBL dream team.
I finished my trade and fixture guide which you can find here.

Wouldn't go near Lumb, just hasn't delivered to date and I don't think he's about to change that.
Idek who Lawford is.
Like the bowlers a lot.
Couple of iffy players, but solid team.
Yeah, I'd find someone else than Lumb... :-\
What number do we think Maxwell will bat? Can't choose between him and Wright. Wright should open, bit worried
Maxy might be starved of opportunity.
I'd go Wright purely because he'll be opening and is more consistent. Also 10k cheaper which is handy.
In my team, I've gone North --> Silk and Klinger --> Hales. Good moves?
Yeah, I'd get in Hales.
Is North gunna play....?
I haven't heard any word on North yet. Probably wait and see if he is named in the squad tomorrow.
Also I am running a league for The Streak, where you predict a player to hit a 6 in each match, for SuperCoach HQ. Anyone is welcome to join it, there is no number limit for leagues. The league name is SuperCoach HQ and the password is SuperCoach.
Head over to thestreak.bigbash.com.au (http://thestreak.bigbash.com.au) to register.
Yeah North will be playing as far as I know, but he may be affected by his brothers death and I needed to free up 5k from somewhere to afford Hales.
A late join up into the FF Bash league.....be afraid be very very afraid... ::)
Finch
Hales
White
Maddinson
Cooper
Hopes
Wright
Henriques
Nevill
Kieswetter
Thomas
Coulter-Nile
Laughlin
Rimmington
Rose
So how many FF Leagues do we have full now? ???
Am thinking of starting with starting with...
Pommersbach, Hales, M Hussey, White ( Silk )
Hopes, M Marsh ( Henriques)
Neville (Hartley)
Cutting, Tait, Coulter-Nile, Bollinger ( Turner )
Any last minute suggestions? :-\
What's with everyone jumping on Kieswetter? If he locked in to play most games?

Maxy's one of those guys that can come in whenever you want him to... like, he'd probably be about 6th, but since Bob Quiney is injured and he would normally open with Wright, I'm not sure who the Stars will choose to open instead... Maxy
could, but that would be unlikely.
I really like Luke Wright, don't get me wrong... but I reckon purely because Maxy could get a bowl that he'd be the better choice.

Thats what I've done.
This will be the winning team... :P
Pomersbach (c), Hales, Lynn, White, (Maddinson)
Christian (vc), Wright, (Hastings)
Hartley, (Kieswetter)
McDermott, Coulter-Nile, Richardson, Beer, (Rose).
Pomersbach is in ridiculous form and I'm thinking he will go bang first game. McDermott although can go for runs picks up a lot of wickets. Beer keeps it tight not sure if he plays over agar though or if they play 2 spinners. Rose will get games he is the only specialist spinner for the stars.
Is Rose a better option than Ahmed?
Can anyone confirm/deny the trading rule?
Tempted to have Finch in my team tonight, let him play, then trade him to Marsh. Will I get both their points??
Quote from: Adamant on December 20, 2013, 12:48:21 PM

You'd think that Rose will play every game pretty much, he's the only specialist spinner and so will play unless they decide to go with pace and use maxwell and white, maybe ahmed has more competition? Not sure...

Finchy. ;D

That joyous moment when you realise you have Jackson Bird in your team.
That disappointing moment when you realise he isn't Captain
312/3 + C
232/4 but have the VC on Wright :)
What's a decent score for each position? I didn't play last year so haven't got a good grip on what's good/shower.
176/5 and pissed about it.
Didn't get team lists until 45 seconds until lockout. Cost me quite a few points.
115/2, no idea what's good and what isn't, first time playing :P
I haven't played either but I assume 40ish is a solid score.
Had Ahmed but still did well :P I'll take Rose's 13 of the bench :P
Starting well but will probably go downhill from here
264/4 (Finch (57), White (65), Murali (40)and Bird (107)). Loved my late trade of Bollinger to Bird, :D :D
Finch as VC 57 probably not enough to use VC Loophole. Mike Hussey to fire as Captain hopefully.

Yeah, from what I can gather (have played Fox Sports in the past), 40 is about par.
209/3+C Could have done better than that, but can't be too disappointed. Knew I should've gone for Bird over McKay.
290/6 with C from Doolan (14), Nevill (45), Herrick (12), Finch (c - 104), Maxi (50) and White (65).
Won't be around for the start of tonight's game but only have one player.
That would be Gurinder Sandhu. He's one of the three PODs (I think) I have, along with Shoaib Malik and Nathan Hauritz.
Hoping they all play and fire...
Got 267 Finch(VC),White,Wright,Murali
Rest is
Hughes,Mike Hussey had cooper on bench
Hopes (Henriques)
Keiswetter had nevill on bench
Vettori,NCN,Floros had herrick on bench
Im willing to risk floros if he gets a gig but what about ashton turner got names in sqaud just not sure where he will bat
Captain Hussey
316/4 - Finch (c), Bird, White, Murali
aaah showere forgot about vc loophole lol should have put it on wright. 175/2 for me, wright and white doing very well :)
Had Hastings and Rose on the bench who didn't score great but their scores wont count.
Here is the Sixers 12 man squad:
Michael Lumb
Nic Maddinson
Steve Smith (c)
Marcus North
Ravi Bopara
Moises Henriques
Jordan Silk
Daniel Smith
Stephen O'Keefe
Brett Lee
Josh Hazlewood
Mark Cosgrove
And the Thunder squad of 13:
Mike Hussey (c)
Ryan Carters
Blake Dean
Luke Feldman
Jason Floros
Kurtis Patterson
Usman Khawaja
Eoin Morgan
Dirk Nannes
Gurinder Sandhu
Carl Sandri
David Warner
Chris Woakes
Any idea who will be cut from these? No Copeland for the Sixers though so will need to make a change on my bench.
Cosgrove probably misses out for the Sixers and Sandri and Dean for the Thunder.
I brought in Floros for Copeland on my bench.

Yeah they were my thoughts and I literally did the exact same trade about 10 minutes ago haha.
Switching between Birt, Bopara and Hussey atm. I have backed in Birt in the leadup and ended up picking him over Finch so I feel I should keep him but Huss is a jet and could open(?) or at least bat up the order and Bopara is essentially an all-rounder classed as a batsmen so yeah :P
Also, I still have a loophole up my sleeve...
Just did Copeland to Voros as well
Hussey is my Captain so hope he scores more than 57 Finch was my VC and not using the loophole.
Hussey would be a 90% chance to open, and if he doesn't he will be somewhere in the top 4. I expect big things from him this tournament.
For those that have Hartley as keeper he will not be playing for Heat tomorrow being replaced by Kieswetter.
282/4
Finch, Wright, White, O'Brien
Very happy. :)
152/3...D.Hussey, Whitey, Neville.... :-\
Finch, Wright, Nevill, White & Rimmington. :)

Dimi Mascarenhas gone for the tournament with a fractured jaw. Replaced by one of my favourite domestic players in the country... Luke Butterworth!

Is Kieswetter only with them for a few rounds? If so, they're probably just making use of their international signing while they have him.

:o Then I'm not sure. ???
Heres my team what do you think ?
Finch,White,Hughes,Hussey (Cooper)
Hopes,Wright (Henriques)
Keiswetter (Neville)
Murali,NCN,Vettori,Floros (Herrick)
What about Vettori is he a decent shout a bit unsure on him .Any reason to go Hales instead of Hughes to give some cash
If Henriques kills it i can go Hopes - Hafeez
If Turner gets named which he should i could go Vettori - Turner giving me some more cash
Got $8,700 in the bank
Thanks

Heard an interview with Stewie Law saying that he has gone with Kiewsetter to start with because of his explosive batting opening, Not really worried as I will just make Hartley reserve keeper as one of them will play at all times. Law also said Hartley will get his chances as well later in the tournament so it sounds as though Hartley will be used on the slower tracks and Kiewsetter on the quicker tracks.
Be worth trading Hughes to Warner and captaining Warner ?
Hartley and Kieswetter are such good value! Also Brisbane play every week so that's one less issue with byes and trading 8)
Well Floros isn't playing so I've got in Sandri who is playing instead.
I didn't realize O'Keeffe would bat so low. Might have to trade him to Luke Wright next game.

I've got SOK as well, bit worried but didn't see too many options I'd prefer at that price range. Should've gone Wright >:(
And now he drops a catch ffs.

How to come back down quickly ;) ;) Will hurt
Henriques with 2 wickets but on my bench. Might have to trade Botha to an all-rounder who's on international duties to take his score.
Henriques you bloody beauty! :D
only 10 points behind Warner and still to bat
Damn, was tossing up between Noises and SOK and might have gone the wrong choice....
Only player i have in this game is Cossie on the bench; got a wicket though so thats a good start. If he bats well might loophole him and dump Joe Burns
Henriques, Moises substitute on my bench - 60....better than Hussey and Neville on field.. :-[
Mitch Marsh to Hafeez so I can take Moises' effort ;)
anyone know a international not playing (batting) that I can traded Pomersbach to if Maddinson keeps going bonkers?

My boy Gurinder Sandhu did nicely. 8)
so far
Wright 110
White 65
Obi 55
Finch 52
Henriques 108
Maddinson 81
Nannes 12 ( ::) )
makes it 483/7
with Hales (c), Vettori, Cutting and Kieswetter to come with Putland on the bench in case he goes spastic.
Not a bad start. :)
So I have Moises on my bench... I can't bring in Hafeez cause the Gades have already played :( Who are others bringing in? A cheapie in Lawford who shouldn't get a gig? Someone else?

Just checked and Lawford ain't in the 13 man squad! Sa-weet! Kinda wish I chucked a VC loophole around now though :s
#HaleStorm4Captain
Finch 52
Warner (C) 188
White 65
Cosgrove 38
Cooper (Bench)
Lawford
Wright 110
Henriques 108 (Bench)
Keiswetter (Neville)
Murali 40
Nannes 12
NCN
Vettori
Herrick (Bench)
Happy with Cosgrove as i swapped hughes/hussey for Warner/Cosgrove.Will get Lawford in so Henriques score counts.Will just trust Keiswetter i think.Happy with Nannes still got it just a bit unlucky.Think im doing so/so a bit of luck involved
Sorry if this has been asked already...but can you get more than 1 auto emergency? Say if I have 2 players in my starting XI out, do both players get an auto emergency score?
Players who do not play in any given round and score 0 on your starting 11, will automatically be replaced by the player on your bench in their matching position only. Therefore, you'll have up to one "automatic emergency" for each position available. Note that players who actually take part in a match and receive a score of 0 or a negative score will not be replaced.
Cheers Curly :)
444 with Hales, Birt, Kieswetter, Vettori and Coulter-Nile to come.
I brought in Lawford for Botha also to take Henriques' 108. Lawford has no chance of playing right?

Not in the 13 man squad :)
Haven't been that committed to this and didn't manage to see tonight's game but I'll watch highlights later.
Anyway I'm on 358 from 6 including captain.
Hales, Cutting, Hopes, Coulter-Nile and that Kieswetter guy to come.
shower, Ajantha Mendis didn't play, and he was my skipper. :'( Oh well, just got to take Luke Wright's 110 then. :P
From tonight Had Bopara 91, Woakes 40, and will loophole to get Khawaja's 66 on the field, taking my tally to 509/6 + C. :)
Why is mine saying that Steve Smith scored 0? He played and scored 22 runs which isn't great, but still.
Just went Marsh to Lawford :P Now I get Henriques 108 :D
Tossing up between Birt and Hales for the VC, the C will go to Marsh.

I have the same problem with Hussey who was my Captain and showing 0 and then doubling Finch's score who was my VC. Do not mind but it is not correct.

Cheers BB, have bookmarked it. Very handy!
Just quickly boys, Kane Richardson or Dan Vettori?
Id say Vettori over Richardson purely on name but they might bat against Vettori like Murali a bit hesitant so not as many wickerts.I have Murali,Nannes,Thomas,Vettori (Herrick) I can upgrade Vettori but dont know if i should .What about Alister Mcdermott ? or Doubling up on Scorchers with NCN.Any suggestions ? Cheer
Coulter-Nile over Vettori.
Isn't Vettori coming back from Achilles injuries...
Rain delaying the start of play in the Hurricanes Strikers match... Do all our players in that one just cop showerter scores once the probable shortened game gets underway?
I think the game is cooked.
Get on Brisbane & Perth players!
Trading Bollinger and Birt :s
Damn, too late. I have gone from having an outstanding round to having a shower one ::) Three donuts.
That is unfortunate. :(
Nic Maddinson 8)
Would have thought rolling lock out would have continued till at least toss but not to be so I am wearing possibly 2 donuts.
Had to go into a bit of damage control. :(
Sho's been locked in even with the rain so I had to go Hilton Cartwright (who isn't named for Perth) to Ashton Agar and SOS Marsh to Pomers.
shower.
Two donuts now (Hales & Birt). :(
Im hoping for a washout so that I get Maddo off the bench, means Finch deviates to Captain but oh well :/

youve got to be flowering kidding me, he doesnt play though so shouldnt it be sub?
Does Hales fantasy score count if the match isnt classed as a match ? Havnt got him but just a question
Hope so, have the VC on him. Shattered that this game was washed out. Clearly Hales was going to run rife and I could have sensed a big one from Birt and Bollinger :(
Scores still count even if the game has no result.
621/8 (c)
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFS
I was out with the family and so now I get to nothing scores from a called off match
Not having computer access/not having teams in time have cost me like 200+ points and my chance of winning BBL fantasy have gone to shower
I was odds on favourite to win the entire competition, now no hope.
Yeah I also had family stuff going on so didn't know about the shower weather in Hobart :( Shattered I cop zeros from Birt and Bollinger and even more devastated that my VC Hales was looking at a monster score.
Ahh really stuffed that one up lol. Got Wright but forgot to vc loophole, got maddinson on the bench and now copping a donut from richardson. Pomersbach as skipper better do something.
I wasn't on FF for the period where people were talking about Hobarts weather, of course.
At least Hales got some points I guess, flowering donut from Birt though.
According to the Big Bash Fantasy Live Scores, those who did not bowl for the Hurricanes did not count as playing a match. Every Striker did, and the 5 Hobart bowlers did, but not the rest of the Hobart players.
I will be pissed off if that is the case. If the Strikers players who didn't bat get a score of 0, why do the Hurricanes who didn't bowl get off with playing a game in the stats?
If that's the case I get the 20 from Hastings in place of Malik, plus Hale's points. Thankful I changed Ludeman and Kieswetter around last night, also have Big Ben Cutting
Two points from me
1. What a joke of a fantasy comp, said after last year I wouldn't play this year :P
2. flower me, it's twenty flowering 20, why they stop at 8? ??? Rained out anyway but flower me, easlily enough time for a full 20 overs if rain permitted!! Stupid flowering assholes!! >:(
It's just not cricket, oh right ;)
So I don't get a donut from Malik and will get Ashton Agar's score if he plays? :o ;D
Got nearly 70k in the bank after my Botha to Lawford trade (to get Henriques' 108), thinking of upgrading Vettori or Coulter-Nile to Cutting. Thoughts?

I see NCN = Cutting. Bowlers who are more than handy with the bat when needed.
Kieswetter gets a stumping. Yay
Vettori & Kieswetter. :)
On the otherhand, Scorchers lose a wicket. Bittersweet.
my team is useless, I used to be gun at BBLF
Why isn't Hopes bowling? Got stuck with him as captain
He's going to score like 5 points ::)

N CN better fire up, didn't see Vettori in the team so traded him, flower this comp ffs, I'm gonna serve it up to these tossers at the BBL this week!
Name your flowering 11 earlier ffs, stupid flowering assholes!! flower you!
I have Mitch Marsh as my AR :)

What score is weekly worthy in the BBLF?
Usually something around or a but over 1000.
Agar, my Malik sub makes 2.
NCN, usually explosive makes 4.
::)
I'm now relying on Pomers to make like 150 for a remotely credible score and some wickets from both Agar and NCN. :(

Agar my sub for Malik scores 2 for the game...
Was tossing up between Burns and Lynn and of course I chose burns! :(
Got 655 which looks to be reasonable. Thats with Rose replacing Holland and Joe Burns.
647, happy with that considering I am copping three donuts haha.
Like 414... yeah. :P
624 or something. Got 771 in Fox Sports with 4 donuts (Well 2, plus a 1 and a -1)
516 with 2 donuts
591. Not the best start but that is with an on field 0 from Laughlin. If only I could have had Sandri's 41 replace him.
I think my two trades this week will be SOK to Wright and Warner to maybe Lynn or Hales.
Ok somehow my score changed to 745 and I am ranked 137.
1700ish
Thinking SOK for Wright and Bing for NCN as my two trades
282nd Warner > Hussey if Cooper doesnt kill it
Cosgrove > Maddinson if Cossie doesnt hold his spot.Have a feeling Jordan Silk might make way
Can you captain a player that plays 2 games in one round?
For example if I captain Finch in Rd 3 and he scores 40 and 60 do I effectively get [2x(60+40)] = 200 from him as Captain?
Yeah you do ! Finch is the obvious captain but Hafeez might be a better option ! Will open the batting and bowl a few over.Or captain Finch but get Hafeez in.
I have Finch,Cooper,Murali,Herrick and Neville should be sweet
got a decent score but so many donuts. Bizzard, Laughlin, Bollinger all donuts. Still ranked around 2k but somehow.

Yeah looks like BBL requires some serious fixture trading if you want to be anywhere near the top.
scored 710 with a donut from Travis Birt. :) Deciding to keep Birt over Klinger to loophole Khawaja lost me 50 points or so, however I did upgrade Vettori to Cutting so that made up for it. :)
Hopefully Voges and Usman are ok, otherwise I'll only have 2 fit batsmen!
Sorry for all the questions, this is my first year doing BBL fantasy.
How does the price changes work? Is it a 2 or 3 game rolling average (similar to DT/Supercoach)?
Cheers
Had a look at the FAQ yesterday, it's three games when they change price. :)

Yeah its tough i started off with 5 renegades might even be 6. Started off with 2 sixers (Henriques (C) and 2 scorchers (Marsh (C) so should have 3 for round 3/4.Id say 3 each would would put you in a good spot more then most but 2 would be ok.All about the captain choice
635. Pretty good I guess.
Any prizes for top weekly scorer and overall? Also Renegades play twice this week right? Does that mean one team isn't playing as well?
I think there should be a minor adjustment to the scoring for next season. At the moment you gat 12 points per maiden over, I think that can be changed slightly, because maiden overs are so unlikely, to 2 points per dot ball bowled. The bowlers stats on Ten have the dot balls listed in the column that maidens usually are, and in this game I think that is a better option. :)

All 8 teams are still playing this round.
Round 3 the Renegades play twice and the Sixers have a bye.

There is a reverse trades button specky but not sure as to whether you can not reverse after 1st lock out.
For me Watson will now become Wright. (Traded Watson in to get Henriques 108) Will sort out second trade later when I know whether North is playing this week. Was named and a late withdrawal and cost me a donut.
Second last in the group, only in front of Jay... by a point. :P

North was crook apparently when he woke up which meant Cosgrove got a spot. I would think Cossy or Silk will make way for North next game.
Yeah what a stupid comp, why does anyone even bother with it ??? yeah yeah I know :P
Still, this is by far the worst comp ever, if I join up next year, please shoot me?

Going to be interesting. Whos gonna get dropped? Bird, Mckay or hastings. Or will they drop the all round stonis? Or Clive rose? Going to be interesting. They had a good balance already. Probably hope harris doesnt play, then bird takes harris spot then malinga slots in and everyone is happy

Oh, interesting. Don't want to trade him in and have him not play.
Be better off having a Gades bowler in round 3 anyway.
Ideal lineup for rd3:
2 Gades bats
Hafeez AR
Nevill Keeper
2 Gades bowlers.
On a different note Dwayne Smith is expected to miss the whole tournament for the Scorchers and will be replaced by Pakistani all-rounder Yasir Arafat.

Anyone know if Floros is looking likely to get a gig this week? Trying to work out trades and struggling a bit haha :P
Want to bring in Finch but he's playing my Scorchers :P and wouldn't mind Murali but the same deal with Finch haha. Bringing in Hafeez and Malinga next week though so can't blow my budget this week and not sure what to do with the all-rounders.. Will have Hafeez, Wright and Henriques there soon!
Conversate with me!
I forgot
Once tonight's game starts is it rolling or full lockout?
Rolling.
Alright, considering bringing in Malinga now and making sure I can cover him on my bench. If Floros is named, I can do Birt to Finch, if not I must trade Floros to someone who is defs playing.
Gotta risk it for the biscuit.
Alternatively, I could get in Cutting and do Birt to Finch. Much safer but means I need to spend a trade next week on turning Dougy/McKay/Dirk to Malinga AS WELL AS sorting out Renegades and Sixers players and their bye.
First option is much bigger risk but seemingly bigger reward. Need Finch to fail tonight if I go that option...
@FOXSportsNews: Doug Bollinger, Nathan Coulter-Nile & James Faulkner will all be released from #Ashes to be available for upcoming #BBL03 games #cricket

Sorry tbag, but had to say it. ;)
I'm copping a donut with this though. :( Voges, Ussie and now NCN all out, and with Mendis and Head being my benchies, It'll be one zero after I make my trades.
Nah the whole BB can get flowered
This whole "11 will be announced right before the game" For starters, flower that!!
No extra trades if your player is picked in a Test squad, flower that, we all know you need a Test player in the gap before Boxing day or you fall behind (Unless you pick Bailey >:( ) anyway, that's one trade! Not to mention the two players I have that got injured, two more trades
Where's the trade then to replace a Test selected player? Don't just blame luck, blame the assholes that make the comp!
Every fantasy comp MUST be fair, but, anyone who has players in rained out games gets flowered over by sausage!!
Not to mention any player picked 12th man in a Test team
Yeah flower of BBL! flower you!! Just not worth any effort at all as all you do is get sausage up your bum!
Bird + 14k or Vettori in for NCN
Getting bird would free up cash and help get Malinga
Any help will be rewarded with kisses, :P
What game is tonight?
And who is everyone making captain?
Did two great trades this morning but now that NCN is not playing I'll have to keep Hopes.
Getting rid of Hopes after 1 bad game? I'm considering it too, but can probably use my trades better elsewhere. Being away and not able to get final teams in time (flower you cricinfo etc.) really flowered my team over last week and now my team is flowering destroyed.
best I can do is win 1 week or something...
But yeah tempted to chuck Hopes in the bin.

Scorcher v Renegades at 4:40pm Local time,
I have done 2 trades NCN for Vetorri and Watson for Wright (Brought Watson in last week so I could get Henriques score.
Sticking with M Hussey as Captain giving him one more chance.
I went Ahmed to Bird and NCN to Sandhu
If Ahmed is named I might reverse that and get rid of Hopes
I'm preparing for the Malinga trade next round, Ludeman for Whiteman and SOK for Wright to free up cash
I've gone A. Turner to Rimmington for tonight in preparation for Renegades double next week (benching NCN).
Saving the other trade for Finch VC loophole. Got 32k in the bank to bring in Hafeez next week, will have to miss out on Malinga for the time being so hopefully he doesn't go bananas when he returns...
Scorchers XI announced
Scorchers XI: Katich (c), Behrendorff, Whiteman, M. Marsh, Turner, Beer, S. Marsh, Hogg, Thomas, Arafat, Armstrong, Agar 12th
and the Renegades
Finch, Doolan, Cooper, Rohrer, Buttler, Nevill, Sheridan, Rimmington, O
I wasn't gunna trade this week, but since NCN is out then I'll just use one trade.
Get on Ben Laughlin. 8)
Made my trades already, didn't know NCN was gonna be appearing for the Scorchers. Hello donut. ::)

I considered him over NCN, but went with NCN who I thought was a better chance of batting as well.
Gades play twice next week, so I think NCN -> Rimmo might be the way to go.
All good coaches already had Rimmington. :P
Cooper picking up a wicket is a bonus for the bench. S.Marsh a serviceable 31.
Hopefully Alfonso does something good this time......
Doolan has 20, SR bonus in play. ;D
My 5 bowlers are now NCN (benched this week), Murali, Rimmington, Vettori and McKay.
Gonna be tough deciding which one to bench from here on in.
Finch as skipper... gone for 15. Fuvk.
Finch VC thank god.
Rimmington in for Obi next week I think :/
And now Dools is out.
I'm cooked.

Very nice for those who have him... including my opponent in the FF league (not exactly sure who it is).
Hales to put some big shots down the ground tomorrow. should be good viewing.

Marsh with a double wicket maiden, you ripper!
52 points for it I believe.
20x2 for the wickets + the 12 for the maiden.
Very nice for those who have him... including my opponent in the FF league (not exactly sure who it is).
And snags a catch :)
just need another over for the economy rate
C'mon Nev, find the boundary son.
Nev gone, brb killing myself.
Never thought I'd see anyone defend less than 120 in a BBL match hahaha. Sooo stoked I was in a corporate box for the whole thing 8)
Bringing in Finch for Birt was a spud move :( deciding whether to take Marsh's 70 as VC loophole atm...
Quote from: NigeyS on December 26, 2013, 07:56:10 PM
Oh and Hafeez isn't gonna be coming over to play for the Gades so I don't have to worry about trading him in.
What??
I bought in Finch instead of Mitch Marsh because I planned on grabbing Hafeez next week :(
Scored 3 tons for the Pakis in the ODIs so they picked him for the test series.
Also gotta figure out whether to bank Marsh's 70 or go with Cutting or Hales

Bank 70 all day, 70 is a great score.
flower you Hafeez #badbloke
Going to take Marsh's 70 I reckon. Hope Birt fails tonight, would make me cry if he killed it haha.
I just want the Canes' players to score this week. Counting on a quality effort from Shoaib Malik.

tbag, you can't play on the SCG next week because there's a test match there, surely you'd be happy with that. ::) At least this tournament doesn't have priority over test cricket. ;)
Finch, Doolan and Rimmington played, also copping a donut this week. :\
I may or may not have been a lil tipsy last night. Still, I could organize this comp better heck, Jormas could :P
Faulkner is back for the Stars! :D

Nearly got in Sandhu, but paid a little more for the more proven Laughlin. In his one over the other week he was great! :P
Probably one of the only Thunder players I even considered selecting... Huss, Uzzie and Diggler the others.

Not for me. Copped Finchy's 15.
I'd take it off him next week if he didn't have the two games next round.

For those that have him, Buttler's playing another game.

Hales or Wright for captain? Wright can make up for a low batting score with the ball, but Hales may be too hard to ignore.
They are the two I would consider over Marsh. Loving Wrighty atm so would have to go him :P

I'd go Wright, but that's just Stars bias. :P
Whats the thunder batting order ? Hussey,Patterson,Hughes,Morgan,Carters,Woakes,Floros,Feldman,Sandri,Sandhu,Nannes
Maybe Carters opens or Hughes opens instead of hussey.Thinking of Hughes as a massive pod i like him dont know where he will bat but you would think top 4 right ?
Strikers squad is as follows:
Johan Botha (c)
Callum Ferguson
Alex Hales
Phil Hughes
Michael Klinger
Tim Ludeman
Michael Neser
Nathan Reardon
Kane Richardson
Shaun Tait
Adam Zampa
Jono Dean
Ben Oakley
They're batting first.
Playing XI: Hussey, Carters, Feldman, Floros, Hughes, Morgan, Nannes, Patterson, Sandhu, Sandri, Woakes. Coyte (12th)
That's the Thunder squad.
Don't like their chances, Uzzie-and-Warner-less hurts a lot for an already meh squad.
Floros is playing! Yay! Forgot to loophole so may as well have all my boys playing, ;D
Gonna switch captaincy over to Wright.
Hales and Sandhu tonight (Got no idea who the latter is :P )
Didn't care much for Fantasy last week but I am actually enjoying it, making me follow non-Stars games a lot more closely.

Not even like I was doing anything today ::)
I quit :P BBL Fantasy sucks ;)
Good move taking (C) off Hales
I don't think I'm ever going to put the captaincy on a batsmen again, unless they play two games which makes it a maybe.
It's just too risky.
If someone could kindly direct me to the 'delete your team' button, it'd be much appreciated.
I find bowlers or ARs are generally better than bats for captaincy... unless, like Q said, they've got the double game.
That said, Fincy's been my captain these past two weeks. :P
Never wanted Hales! Would have gone Wright over him :(
If this day was all just a dream and I woke up right now, I'd be cool with that :(
Need moar Sandhu action.
If Sandhu doesn't get a wicket/catch/runout, I'd like him to at least go for 6 or less an over for an ER bonus of 20. :P
Woohoo! Sandhu gets 20 points for his ER. ;D
Now a catch or runout on his part would be good.
Dirty Dirky Diggler may have just revived my interest in BBL fantasy!

Lets see it happen.

Get Sandri into your teams now!
Considering Sandri in for Floros but not sure if its worth it! Will monitor ;)
Melbourne Stars @StarsBBL 58s
Our slinging sensation, Lasith Malinga has taken 4 for 57 in Sri Lanka's win over Pakistan overnight! He joins @StarsBBL tomorrow! #GoStars
;D
He can't play until round 3 though, right?
(https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1535462_574073796002194_1441805956_n.jpg)
Malinga and Faulkner in!
I suspect Stoinis is a certain out, the other I can't pick.
If I was to guess, probably Johnno Hastings because we'll have too many pace bowlers and Cliffy (Rose) is our only full time spin bowler.
Wow that's a nice squad, What's the go with Quiney? Is he coming in soon?
This is brilliant... or should be.
Malinga in the squad and therefore should almost certainly be selected. I reckon Rose will play, simply because I don't think the Stars will rely on solely Maxi as a spinning option.
If Cliffy and Malinga both play, I'll get Rose's score for NCN! ;D

I don't know who the flower makes the rules in BBL but they need to get sacked.

If he's in the 13 man squad he will get selected. flowering BBL Fantasy. Playing with my emotions. So close to ignoring it now but not too sure.
This would be my XI, doubt they'd go with it though
Quiney
Wright
White
Hodge
Hussey
Wade
Maxwell
Faulkner
McKay
Bird
Malinga
Faulkner more than capable to be our 4th bowler and one or two of Wright, White, Huss and Maxwell to bowl the spare 4, Bird or McKay could come out for Rose if they think it will suit spin more

Heat batting first
Only got the man! Cutting! Who has anyone else?
My Uniques flogging my sausage :P Thanks Richo, Hales, Khawaja, Putland,
Laughlin & Cutting. Kieswetter on the pine.
Pomersbach, Vettori, Cutting, Hopes...KW on bench.....could go HUGE!!!!... ???
Kieswetter, Cutting and Hopes
Need Hopes to do well.
Hopeful on Hopes doing well? I hope for your sake he does so. :P
Kieswetter and Dougy.

No. >:(
Birt and Vettori. Kieswetter benched after last weeks effort.
Sho, Pomers and Ritz for me. Go boys go! 8)
Cutting Vettori and Kiewsetter for me
Pomers gone for 4 again. ::)
He's gone next week. Welcome to The Kewlest Cats any one of Chris Lynn, Shaun Marsh, Mike Hussey or Michael Klinger.
So I hear some have benched Kieswetter? :P

But yeah, Sho's bowling now! :D
Kieswetter >:D
Hopes does well I'll take home the overall prize
SHOOOOOOOOOO!!! ;D
I want his ER to get below 6 for 20 points though, if not, I'll take the 12.
Great innings Kieswetter :D
Stoked I played Nevill in week 1 then played Kieswetter in week 2 ;)
70 from Kieswetter + fielding
Very happy
Who was it that was complaining about having Burns last week? :P
Will have to rely on Vettoris and Cuttings bowling as looks like they will not get a bat. A couple of catches or stumpings to Kieswetter will really help as well.
What happened to Gublis being an AR? ::)
Need to get rid of Gulbis and Hopes, flowering useless ARs.
Cutting to be elevated up the order. Calling it early.
Quote from: elephants on December 28, 2013, 08:20:14 PM

Ah and ...
@Tbagrocks32 1h
Crazy thought but if the #Brisheat want to win #BBL03 then Cutting must bat top 5 @BigBashLeague

Was coming in next Tbag - Basically it is hard to elevate him above Kiewsetter Pomas Burns Lyn and Christian.
Handy to have the back up of Cutting if required,
Sho's on 20 thanks to picking up a wicket, went for too much for an ER bonus. :(
Hopefully he can score some runs.
Dougy just missed an ER bonus :( nice wicket though :)
Time for Sho to make a solid 50+ and then for Ritz to dismiss all the other Canes batsmen. :P
Ritz opening the bowling, Sho opening the batting. :o
Sho. :'(
Righto, get Ritz on to rip though the other Canes.
Haha Birt almost went for a duck!
Sho was a run short of getting an SR bonus of 12. >:(
32 runs... I'll take it.
Need Ritz to rack up some points though. :-\
Anyone have Ben Dunk? :o
My highest score so far this week has been 45, wasn't even from my captain. :P
My new Chat name is "SlamDunk" :P But no don't have him :(
Have Cutting though, are they saving him for Sydney Test or are they just stupid?
Actually going for the Dunks Hurries, just because of the Cutting missuse
my 2 bench scorers have done better than the whole playing team.. :-[
Birt unlucky.... :o :o :o
ARE YOU flowerING KIDDING ME UMPIRE?!?!?!
Washed out dougnut last week and given out when half a player appeals this week.
that's a bizarre wicket right there ??? ???
could cost them the game
What actually happened? I missed it?
Quote from: elephants on December 28, 2013, 10:05:04 PM

Cutting bowled it, Birt missed it. The keeper put up one hand as a half appeal and the umpire gave it. Birt and Cutting were both shocked! As was everyone else to be honest

HILFY! Big Bash career strike rate of 500 and has never been dismissed. Get this man in the test team as a specialist batsmen!
feck this game. :P
Kieswetter saving me from humiliation, need Maddinson to fire up
Kieswetter is a gun!
Still going to be a shower week for me
341 with Wright, Bopara and McKay to play, so not all hop lost. But Cutting captain was hurting during that whole match. :(
Maxi, Bear, Slinga and Cliffy if all goes well. :P
279 with White, Wright, McKay, Bird and Henriques to come. Happy with anything 600+, still filthy about my loophole mistake and shocking trades :P
274 - wright bird mckay bopara henriques to go.
Tough week, Finch and pommers annoying :-\
Having a better week than last week 419/6 (Thanks to Hussey (210) as Captain) with Wright, Bird, White, North and Henriques to come.

So you'd rather him not play any cricket until after the BBL? Puh-lease. Bowling four overs is perfect, dont let your hate for T20's cloud your judgement on other matters mate ;)
Are there any good batters that debut/will return next week?
I got Katich's 49 on the bench and would prefer that than risking North.
You mean batsmen? a batter plays Baseball :P
When someone asks you what you do on a cricket ground they say
"are you a batter, a bowler or an all rounder"
It's totally acceptable in cricket tbag ::) you backward SA flower ;)
Nic Maddinson - keeping tonight, will he also open the batting?
EDIT: Not keeping cricinfo just a flower up
Really I want to just take Katich's 49 as it's a solid score... but other than being stupid and TRADING in a non-playing player I have to take North/other's score
Is North > Maddinson worth it?
Can only afford players up to ~63K
No it's not, don't yank up cricket spud! ::)
Maybe cricket is to sophisticated for you so you dumb down a great sport? and you call Adelaide backward ::)
Teams:
Sixers: Henriques (c) Hazlewood North Silk Lee Maddinson Lumb O'Keefe Smith Lalor Bopara. Cosgrove 12th

If you answered "Batter" you are an idiot!
Yeah I know, it's hard living in South Australia, having to put up with the poor yankie invaded sobs over east
You are a batsman, your role is that of a batter.
You realise in baseball they're called batsmen as well.
Wright (C), Hodge, Bird, Hussey and Hastings, Silk & Rose (out) on the bench for me.
Love me stars :P
Hopes was a top 4 AR last season IIRC
He's captain of his team, doesn't bat himself in the top 7 and only bowls himself 2 flowering overs
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? YOU USED TO BE GOOD
A DOUGHNUT IN A FULL GAME?
YOU SPECIALIST FIELDING SPUD flowerWIT
I swear tbag needs to post accompanied by an interpreter.. I don't understand inbred :-\ stupid Adelaide ::)
Jokes ily ;)
James Hopes doughnut and now likely a Brett Lee doughnut
are you flowering kidding me ::)
Hussey. 8)
Just need Captain Wrighty to take a wicket or two and I'll be happy.
Maddinson > North better not kill me
Should have stuck with my initial instincts. IDK why I went North > Maddinson
I just wanted North to not be named so I could take the Katich. Cost me 31 points.
A Maxi runout! ;D
20 points for a wicket, thank you very much Glenn. 8)
Can I please pick a team of all rounders?
Cept Hopes, don't want Hopes.
Another wicket! Fantasy points everywhere from my man. ;D
I was great at BBLF last year
I dunno how I'm so shower this year. I guess it's cause I had family shower on. So flowering stupid to start a fantasy comp the week before Christmas ::) I was too busy

... Bro, chill out. There is a lot more luck in this than you're implying.
Maxi has a casual 144 fantasy points and could still catch another few or pick up another runout or something.
Single-handedly making my score look somewhat respectable.
Malinga getting a wicket or something would be nice though... ::)
Get McKay on White you flower!
If Bear could bowl himself or get Malinga on to take a few wickets, that'd be great.
Need to get off the bottom of the FF league I'm in, even if I'm not gonna win my league game. Since I'm playing our league's top scorer (idk who it is) for the round, I'm gonna lose that.
AND AS I POST THIS, MAXY TAKES ANOTHER CATCH! WOOOOO!
393. flowering dismal haha.
Nigey what percent of your score was maxy.

Not much of a maths guy, so somebody else can work it out.
Maxy got 156, The Kewlest Cats got 322. :P
48% from one player won't cut it against the Breakfast Club.

I'm the biggest sceptic and doubled your score :o
What are everyone's trades for today?
I've gone McKay --> Sandri and Lawford --> M. Marsh.
Got 4 Renegades' players for their double gameweek (Finch, Rimmington, Murali, Nevill).
Pomers -> somebody
Ritz -> Sandri
Are sixers players locked from tonight?
Decided to go:
Pomers -> Tilly (Dilshan) because he'll likely open.
Also got Rimmo instead of Sandri because he's been killing it and Gades have the double GW.
Thinking Maxwell over Marsh now since he is 12k cheaper, although Marsh has the double GW in two weeks so I'll probably want him then anyway...
My trades at the minute:
1) Lawford to Henriques in prep for 6ers double next week
2) Herrick to either Sandri or will get in Fekete from the Gades if he is named tonight
If Fekete comes in I will have 5 Gades for their double this week.
My trrades Hopes to Mitch Marsh - Forced on me with Hopes out and also Henriques with bye.
Silk to Alex Doolan Also have North so had to trade a batsmen.
So stuck with Floros as bowling emergency because of Hopes.
A few names I don't know wheter they are available for this round:
- Chris Woakes
- Nathan Coutler-Nile
- Ajantha Mendis
Silk to Katich - Needed to trade a batsman cause I have Maddinson
Lee to Malinga
I'd wait a couple rounds on Malinga now
yes his points will be nice, but with his doughnut he's going to drop in price huge in 2 rounds.
FFS Doolan called into Australian side so have to reconsider my trades,
Just a question with scores for Renegades being taken over 2 games if I say make Finch Captain is his score over both games doubled.

Woakes is done with the Thunder. Dilshan coming in as their second international.
NCN was released from his national team duties and should be available.
Pretty sure Mendis is coming in this week as well.

Word is that he should be fine.
My bad, only Dougie was released. Faulks and NCN still in the squad, with Doolan added. My have to hang on to Ritz and trade out NCN for Rimmo instead. Not sure whether I trust Silk enough, so I'll have to keep the faith in Pomers too and bring in Dilshan for Doolan.
Alex Doolan will play tonight.
How can Doolan get selected before Hughes, such bullshower. Hes numbers arent even great.
On Luke Wright
@KoopaTroopaDT He will undergo some fitness testing. But he was rested from the field for precautionary measures. #GoStars
Yeah nige, twas me who asked :P

Coults is named in the 13 man squad for the NYE game vs Adelaide. He will play imo :)
One other question when are Sydney Sixers players locked out for this round tonight or on Jan 1st, Looking at working Captain loophole with Finch so if he score big tonight need an emergency not playing and North fits the bill,
Grappling with whether or not trading Lawford is a good idea. I easily have the funds to make something work but if I do I lose my VC loophole :-\
Lawford->The Duke.
Dunno about the other yet.
I have Rose for the VC loophole.
Have just done:
McKay -> Rimmo (Still showerty at him for leaving the Scorchers)
Lawford -> MMarsh
Gives me three Gades which I think is enough (Finch (C), Rimmo, Nevill).
EDIT: Just noticed I fully stole your trades Ada, sorry :P
This effectively means I keep Bollinger over McKay. I rate McKay higher in this format but I can't having him bowl 1-2 overs a match!
hey boys, which bowler do I trade to Hazlewood in preperation for next week?
Nannes, Vettori or Bird?
Dirty Dirky Diggler Dirty Diggler Dirky Dirky Nannes.
Bird or (ba)Nannes. :P
Dirk looked pretty good the other night and I think he is building. T20 cricket is such a fickle thing. I'd maybe even oust Bird just on the basis his had two good games........ :o
I'm holding the Birdman for his price rise :D
Also have Cutting but he should bounce back shouldnt he?

Anyone? ???
Check the FAQ? How is it done in SC?
Already done that PB and does not mention it in FAQ's
In SC players with byes were locked at at conclusion of the rolling lock out for the last game so hoping this rule is the same for BBL.
Who doesn't play this week?
Sydney Sixers have the bye for this round finishing Han 1st and Hobart Hurricanes have bye in round 4 from 2nd to 5th January
This may help Q
http://www.supercoachhq.com/32/post/2013/12/fantasy-bbl-fixture-trade-guide.html
Is it worth trading out Maddinson to someone like a Klinger and then getting him back in next week when the Sixers play twice, or should I take Katich's score from the bench?
Also does Nevill get a spot on the field over Kieswetter?

Nev has the double GW, I'd stick with him.
Rotating my wk has worked well so far so yep, will be starting Nevvy. Should get a couple of catches and at least one solid innings in this week.
I am going to take the 'risk' and make North my captain with Finch VC. One of two things will happen.
1) North is locked out from the start, White will come on and replace him in my batting lineup and Finch will be my Captain.
2) North is locked out at the end, White will come on and replace him in my batting lineup and I will be able to look at how Finch goes first up and make a decision on my C thereafter :)
Nothing to lose, right?
I'd just go Finch. He can very easily get a 30 & 10-20 nek game + throw in a catch or 2.
With double games I'd just play it safe....
Any notable Renegades batsmen to trade in besides Finch (Doolan is out yeah?)
I have a spare trade, Hopes -> M.Marsh is my first one
I think I'll go Finch VC and if he does well bring on Silk.
That's right. Also, should Finch fail twice, you can then make Luke Wright your captain. :)
Birt, Finch x2, Doolan, Katich (Bopara)
Woakes, Wright (Hastings)
Kieswetter (Hartley)
Rimmington x2 (vc), Sheridan x2, Mendis (c), Cutting (McKay)
Doolan is playing tonight but will likely miss the next match as it is 2 days before the 5th test. I have three others which play twice, Sheridan does ok, bats at 7, and you don't lose points for bowling sh!te, so when he goes 2/50 I'll get 40 points from him. :P Got the C on Mendis as I get to see Rimmington twice before choosing my captain, if he does well (liekly), then I'll just move the C to Woakes who's done. :)
Sounds easy, now watch everyone fail :P
I've given Rimmo the C.
Just watch Finchy go huge now... :P
Worth going Hodge -> Cooper?
I think I'll VC Rimmington as well
According to Renegades fb page, Doolan is playing tonight vs the Heat. But it'll likely be his only game, so no point trading him in imo, Tom Cooper better, but also those with him no need to trade out. :)
Hopes to Maxwell
And Hodge -> Gades Bat or Sandhu --> Gades Bowl (Sheridan most likely)?
Quote from: Master Q on December 30, 2013, 06:21:46 PM

I wouldn't get Shero.
Anyone rate Tim Armstrong's chances of playing this week?
In-form Kieswetter or Nevill?
Voges still out so probably Windy yeah.
So is Tom Cooper worth it?
Gotta go Nevill, double game means twice the chance to score good!
Quote from: elephants on December 30, 2013, 06:38:36 PM
Voges still out so probably Windy yeah.
Looking at his stats, his actually a pretty good batter. Bowling figures aren't great though. Just gotta fill in for Henriques this week. :-\

Hahaha. Good to see someone else supporting my trades.
I'm just gonna lock in Finch with the C. Surely he'll pump out a big score in one of the two games.
Squad now looks like this.
A. Finch x2 (C), A. Hales, D. Hussey, T. Birt (N. Maddinson)
L. Wright, M. Marsh (M. Henriques)
P. Nevill x2 (C. Kieswetter)
M. Muralidaran x2, N. Rimmington x2 (VC), D. Vettori, N. Coulter-Nile (C. Sandri)
Is NCN playing or not? If he isn't I might trade him to Sandri instead.
Finch + Donut or Katich + NCN

Hm, could go either way. Finch could easily compensate for the donut with his double GW but then his score could also = Katich and NCN if he doesn't do too well.
Would go Finchy.
Probably go Marsh seeing as i dont see maxwell bowling much anymore.

Mitch Marsh. He's a gun plain and simple.

Flog me, do I have to bring in Finch now even without a price drop yet? flowering stupid BBL >:(
OK so after trades
Finch x2 (VC), Cooper x2, Hales, White (Maddinson BYE)
Wright, M.Marsh (Lawford
Kieswetter (Nevill x2)
Cutting, Vettori, O'Brien x2, Bird (Hazlewood BYE)
gonna punt on Kieswetter as he opens whereas Nevill bats 6, also chose Hazlewood for next week over Rimmington and benching Bird. Made the right choices?
Have $94,800 in the bank
Finch(C)x2 , Cooperx2,White,Dhughes(North)
Wright,Lawford(Henriques)
Keiswetter(Neville)
Murali,Thomas,Bird,Nannes(Herrick)
Can go Lawford - Mitch Marsh and Herrick - Rimmo is that ok trades ? or not worry about rimmo and upgrade daniel hughes (he will get a game or 2 yet) any suggestions ?
Fekete in... Do I trade Floros to him instead of McKay to Rimmo??
flower you Finch! DUCK DUCK DUCK DUCK DUCK, you goose!
CARN THE DUCK!!!
Just checked on the site and sixers players still have the s under them so assume the rule will be till final lock out.
Anyone here like the Melbourne Renegades FB page? If so, you might have seen a post they made saying if someone guesses the top scorer for the Gades + what their score was you win a signed Gades top.
Sooo, I commented Finch (81).
Standing by..! :D

Can't see them totally neglecting a few overs of spin, and after his efforts last night, surely they'd bowl him every now and then.
That said, Mitch Marsh is still a very good option. Can't go wrong either way.
Kieswetter :(
I just want Pomers to score well, not even fussed about an ER bonus at this stage.
Also, if Ritz could get in, that would be sick.
Should have left Wade on field over Nevill
Gades too good to let him have a bat ::)
This is going pear-shaped.
Finchy, but not captain... Dools, Nev, Rimmo, Pomers and Ritz. ::)
Why would you have Finch but not make him captain? You realise he was like top scoring player last season and gets TWO attempts this week?
My team is mostly going great:
Nevill - unlucky he didn't get to bat
Aobi - gun, wicket and looking at ER bonus
Doolan - I'll take 13, he can score in the next match
Murali - looking at a 20 point ER bonus
Finch(C) - thanks.
Tom Cooper just cost me 40 points ::) so annoyed lol.
I had a bad feeling that having him captain for a third week wouldn't do me any good.
Rimmo's been in good form and I had hoped he'd rip through the Heat batsmen.
But yeah, regret has sunk in...
RIMMO, FINALLY!
Rimmo fighting back for you
But I would have (and did) back in the top scorer of last year ;)
I wanted to trade in Rimmington (for Zampa) but would have left me with 3 gades bowlers and then guaranteed doughnut next week.

You wouldn't of had a doughnut...
The Gades don't have the bye next round, its the round after.
Loving my Gades' players.
Finch (C), Rimmington and Murali. 8)
Nevill on the other hand...
Oh FARQ
I misread the bye thingo. Damn it. I should have been DESTROYING. :( I misread the byes thought it was them next week so didn't trade Rimmo in. Was tossing up just getting extra points from his DGW and risking a doughey the following week as I will have 4 Sixers for their DGW
#rookieerror
Obi was on track for the 20 bonus point ER, a six smashed him down to only 12 bonus
Now Murali's worst ball ever could ruin his great ER.
A Rimmo catch, I'll take it. ;D
Gonna need to make a trade regarding my keepers.
Nev isn't cutting it and Hartley's on my bench.
Gonna look at my options. Kieswetter's probably the best option.
I am developing a man crush on Cutting...

Ah and ...
@Tbagrocks32 1h
Crazy thought but if the #Brisheat want to win #BBL03 then Cutting must bat top 5 @BigBashLeague
Now the commentators are saying what I said last week :P
Ritz batting! ;D
I need to get Cutting in ::)
flower you Cooper.
COOPER YOU FLOG
flower up a catch when my captain Finch is bowling, but take a catch with a flog I don't have bowling.
Lazier running than you'll see in the under 12s cricket on the weekend and Nevill gets himself into the game :D
Was getting a pissed he didn't get any involvement.
Hopefully Finch bowls next over and 2 catches behind to Nev.
flower YOU COOPER DROPPING/flowerING UP CATCH YOU FLOUR SAUSAGE
NEVILL RUNOUT!
RITZ WAS THE VICTIM...
flower YA VETTORI.
Wish I didn't flower up who had the bye next week. Would have had Rimmo or Patto and I'd be on track for the biggest score ever ;)
Who gets credited with the runout? Nev?
How would Nev get credited? It was a direct hit mate. At least I thought it was a direct hit? Stumps seemed to light up before in Nev's gloves and Ponting said direct hit
Unless you're talking about Ritz, as that was 100% Nev, was only one to touch the ball...
Vettori's 15 runs (and I think a +12 SR bonus) will come in handy. Really liking his consistency so far this year.
Vettori scores 55 Adam
20 ER Bonus for Bowling
20 for wicket
15 for runs. S/R bonus only applies to 20 runs or more scored.

on 392 already with White, Cooper, Wright, Finch x2, Mitch Marsh, Alex Hales, Bird and Obi to come, already bettered last weeks score and its one game down out of 4 :o
Try like 3 pages ago PB.
There's still a chance Doolan will play, it depends what hppens with test teams. I hope he does play. I didn't trade Doolan in PB, had him since round 1.
My team has been flowered cause of family christmas shower just before round 1 lockout/teams so had Doolan since round 1.
Also had work at 4:30 tonight so even if I wanted to (I wouldn't have) trade him out, I couldn't ahve with that knowledge.

Ridded of Coots for Rimmo who paid off nicely! VCd him also for 64 with a (
thanks to the stupid flowering bye system) plays again, thinking of looping
But the real highlight for me (Other than watching Cutting's magic) was the return of Patto, not the greatest ODI bowler (yet) but give him a couple of games so he's ready for the Seth Efricins ;D

No no, I wouldn't have traded him out at all, he's a good pick. I benched him just incase he is unavailable and scores badly. :)
291 with 9 + C to play.
Damn that's right. Still I'm happy with 55 from him.
Think he's gone 56, 52 & 55 now. #consistent
For those of you who haven't been online/have been too lazy these are the scores off the top of my head:

+1 my unique. 2 wickets last night and a solid ER bonus :-* Very much like Dan Van and Murali in that you are guaranteed at least a 12 ER bonus every game.
Not too much Havoc on the Finch front Ringo, most should trade him out by then as that's when (off top of my head) roughly when Renegades' bye begins so because he's worth so much should be traded out to best bat available that round anyway.
I think I know exactly who to trade Finchy to, same with Maxi. ;D

Not too much Havoc on the Finch front Ringo, most should trade him out by then as that's when (off top of my head) roughly when Renegades' bye begins so because he's worth so much should be traded out to best bat available that round anyway.
Renegades bye is the week before the ODI so we only get one more game from Finch,

Yeah that's my point though. Most good coaches would be trading Finch out imo
You don't really want the most expensive player sitting on the bench in the Gades' bye week (imo) when you can select the best scoring bat in the entire competition to replace him.

Cook, Ballance, Bell, Bopara, Bresnan, Briggs, Broad, Buttler, Carberry, Fin,, Jordan, Morgan, Rankin, Root, Stokes and Tredwell.
I almost had a heart attack when I couldn't find Coulter-Nile on the Scorchers fb page status. Then I saw it was neatly written in as "C-Nile" and was spread across two lines.
Relief! Here's the team for convenience: Katich, S. Marsh, M.Marsh, Whiteman, Turner, Armstrong, Arafat, C-Nile, Thomas, Hogg, Beer, Behrendorff (12th), Agar (13th)
Behrendorff's been in ripper form, interesting to see he's 12th man.
268/5 with Rimmo x2, Nev, Sho, Bear, Maxi, Malinga, Sandhu and Tilly to come... Yep, no Strikers or Scorchers. :o
In Foxsports fantasy comp I straight swapped Agar for Behrendorf and Coight for Gannon to cover donuts. Behrendorf gets dropped for NCN and Gannon scores -10. Then Shaun Marsh just gets run out. Flowersake.
Also Will Sheridan got dropped for Pattinson instead of Fagoty, I mean Fekete.
Didn't win the shirt :'( 1/7 chance and I didn't get it :(
FFS
I meant to trade out Zampa after his doughnut last round for Sandri, but had work and forgot to do it just before I left ::)
But now Zampa looking good after 1.3 overs... Hope Sandri fails and it'll be a master mistake
flower, was considering Neser but went Mitch Marsh instead. Marsh better take 2-fa.
Marsh boys are killin' me!
Kept Richo (Where the flower is he? >:( ) Traded NCN based on the flowering Test team ::) To get Rimmo
Decided not to trade Marsh for Finch ::) Traded Khawaja instead for Burns
Just got home but yeah, flower you BBL
Klinger is such a gun, should've stuck with him over Hales from the start.
I endeavour to go Pomers/Finch -> Klinger

on 486 with Birt, McKay, Wright, Hastings, Finch, Rimmington (c) to come. :) The site says I'm on 409, but that hasn't doubled Rimmo's score or put Doolan's 13 on the field. :)
Edit: Forgot Hastings who's sitting quietly on my bench but will come on for Henriques who I traded in this week on purpose. :) #luxurytrade
I am on a rubbish 272.....team needs work... >:(
546 with Wright, D. Hussey, Birt, Finch (C), Rimmington, Murali and Nevill to come.
Finch on fire
Good work Finchy and Dougy!
Now its time for Rimmo and Nev to step up 8)
Patto is on fire.
Benny Laughlin, 8)
Rimmington and Finch catching well!!
Rimmo! 8)
Everyone stealing Rimmo's wickets! Lost a chance at an ER bonus thanks to Patto :P
798 with Wright to go
Completely off topic but I didn't wanna make a separate thread...
Corey Anderson of New Zealand has broken the record for the fastest ODI century. Took him 36 balls. :o
680 with Hodge, White, Bird, Hastings, Maxwell and Sandri to go
526 with Bear, Maxi, Malinga, Tilly and Sandhu to come.
651 with Bird, Wright, Nannes and White to come. Hoping for anything North of 825 I reckon.

Dunno how big it is, but it seats 19k, so it's not overly big.
Still, it's a fair effort. A 17 year old record has been broken. :o
Heading south this week 610 with Hussey, White, Bird and Wright to come.
656/5 Hussey, Hussey, Maxwell, Bird, Nannes and Henriques to come, 8)
Corey Anderson 131 off 47 balls: 1 . 4 1 . 1 6 1 . 2 1 4 6 1 4 6 1 6 6 . 6 . 6 1 . . 6 6 6 6 6 1 . 1 4 4 1 1 6 6 4 1 2 4 1 6 1 2 2 1. He smashes Shahid Afridi's 17-year old record for the fastest international century.
What a way to start the year!
This comp is so flowered it's borderline crazy
Price changes should be two weeks, not three
The way it is, everyone would be forced to start with Finch, if they were all smart enough to look at the draw (Which is crap seeing it's a silly slap and giggle comp) and found out that Finch plays twice in week three (the week after the prices should have changed, which of course they didn't)
Seriously, what's with the bye and double rounds? ??? stupid frog heads
Yeah once again, flower you BBL

So pissed I didn't get Patto or Rimmo in (would've got 1 of these two in) but thought Gades' bye was this round coming up...
Would have been KILLING IT if I realised I could have traded one in.

Right, so I back in Malinga and he delivers me two donuts, out he goes. #reckless
Tilly Dilshan with a duck giving me a -20... Can only hope he gets some bowling/fielding actions to get out of the negatives. :-\
Also, Duke Hastings on my bench, with Sho on my field. :(

Boundaries were 60m square of the wicket and 75m straight. Watching it now 8)
Oooo, now ranked 256th and will have Henriques, Bopara and Maddinson playing twice this Gameweek with only Travis Birt missing. ;)
Is Coulter Nile gonna be available this week? ???
Hope so JB. Specially hope he's available for his double game in rnd 5 before ODI duties.
I'm just trying to get the feel for strategy, where possible are people loading up on the teams double week if a doughnut can be avoided by doing so?
This weeks trades: Laughlin > Hazelwood & Wright > Henriques
I ditched Laughlin cos he has bye & got rid of Wright just to get Henriques for double week. Cash left $54,500
Not sure if im shooting myself in the foot here with wright? Any help?
Cheers & Beers
I dont have any Hurricanes so im looking at
Cossie > Maddinson and Murali/Rimmington > NCN
Maddinson fo this double, NCN for next double
Or could get Hazlewood this week and get NCN next week
Canes have the bye and I only have Shoaib Malik. I wanna keep him, but he hasn't done overly great so far.
Got Maxi and Duke anyway, so can probs bench Sho for his bye before trading Maxi once he goes off for ODI duties.
Need a better keeper than Nev so I reckon Kieswetter's the man.
Definitely trading one of Hauritz/Malinga, but reckon if I get rid of Malinga I'll regret it. :-\
Get Malinga back when hes cheap after his two donuts lower his price, bring in Hazlewood/Lee or a scorcher bowler.

Yep, reckon Joshy Hazlewood is a good choice. Trying to see if I can find value anywhere else, just in case, before I jump on.
When do the Aussie boys with international duties leave?
According to BBs guide thing; Round 6.
:o
Thought it was next week for some reason... Not complaining though. ;D
Went:
Malinga -> Hazlewood
Nevill -> Kieswetter
I reckon I should be right to Finch -> somebody and Ritz -> Malinga in a week or two and then trade Maxi to somebody.

Bowler well the other night, reckon that should keep him in.
And the big question, who to oust this week, Rimmington or Murali?
why do you need to remove either? Renegades still playing this round :)
Dont have any Tasmanians so need to prepare for their bye.
Plus picking NCN to rip through the Thunder.
ahh fair enough then. And with perth having a double that's helpful too. imo keep Murali for econ bonus, Rimmo for wickets. Also playing the Stars so Rimmo might get a decent bat. ;)

This is also why I traded out Doolan and now Nev.
Hoping Clive Rose comes back in once McKay/Maxi etc from the Stars leave to play ODIs.
Moved up to 179 overall after 1009 this round :o
Maxwell to M Marsh and Sandri to Hazlewood which will give me North, Henriques and Hazlewood.
Don't know who to put the C on though, Henriques or Hazlewood?
Anybody rate Bopara of the sixers? thinking Pommersbach to him.. ???

I'm pretty sure he's in the test squad, ruling him out of the Scorchers game tomorrow
Yeah JB trade Murali IMO.
Got a selection dilemma in my AR spots. Henriques, Marsh and Wright is a bit too strong and with Henriques with the double game this week and Marsh with the double next week... I feel like sliding out Wright to free up funds is the way to go. Hasn't been particularly damaging since round 1 and the Stars have no shortage of bowling options. I might slide out Wright until the ODI's I think.
At this stage I am looking at:
Wright -> Tim Armstrong
Jason Floros -> Hazlewood
This leaves me with 33k and 3 Sixers. Next week I can ride Rimmo's price rise one more time this week then go him -> NCN for his double and have roughly 40k to spend on another upgrade (might even be Henriques to Wright depending how Moises goes this double.)
I dunno :P
Wanted to downgrade Wright so Hastings could come on the field but there aren't really any cheap ARs who play...
So Wright --> Henriques is locked in... I then have money to do anything I want.
Should I go Cooper -> Klinger or a 6er batsmen? Or Sandhu to Hazlewood and then play Silk ahead of Cooper?

My overall rank is 1000 on the dot :o
QuoteThe Scorchers next take on the Sydney Thunder on Friday night at #TheFurnace, where they will face off against former teammate Mike Hussey.
Coulter-Nile will miss the clash as he joins the Test side at the SCG and - with tongue firmly planted in cheek - said it was a game he had been looking forward to.
^ I like Hazlewood so I would say Sandhu to Hazlewood. Also Tim Armstrong seems to be getting games for us for some reason but I think his JS will be fine while Voges is out. Doube gameweek coming up too.

Does Finch leave in round 6 with the other ODI lads? Round 6 is going to be brutal with the Strikers and Scorchers having byes + ODI blokes leaving as well. My batsmen will be decimated with Marsh, Hales and Finch all set to miss that week.

Henriques (C), Hazlewood and Silk are my sixers for this week. Not sure if I should start Cooper or SIlk though.
Oh yeah, I have Silk... but he seems to be batting down the order and I'm not sure whether he's worth starting.
I've gone Wright - Henriques and McKay - Hazelwood. Chucking the C on Moises. Have three Sixers - Maddinson, Hazelwood and Henriques.
This week I've gone
Laughlin --> Hazlewood
Wright --> Hastings
I'll use the VC loophole with Maddinson and Sandri, who isn't playing.
Only questions is who misses out from M.Marsh or Hastings to allow Henriques to play?

Ah yeah thats what I meant, trying to plan ahead :P
I am considering going Finch to Maddinson this week to free up and absolute ton of cash.
Would give me 80k+ to spend on upgrading around byes through the next couple of weeks and you would expect that Maddinson would outscore Finch this week...
Loving all these people saying bye bye to Wright this week. I'm going to hold for this one, if it works, boom, big jump up the rankings. :)
No Coulter-Nile in squad..?
Good trades or bad trades'
Bird to Rimmington
Vettori to Hazelwood

Finch M Hussey C Lynn, White (M North)
Henriques (c) Wright/Marsh
Kiewsetter (Hartley)

261 with 9 to come (Henriques captain)
Not too bad.
Henriques with the VC, now I need Sandri to not play.....
I have henriques vice captain and will be C following thios trade.
Worked the emergency loophole and so I welcome my new Captain Olwais Sha from the Hurricanes to my team and he will get Lynns 90 points as well.

Not sure whether this affects anyone, but it's pretty big news squad wise for the Strikers.
I had Botha in my round 1 squad but traded him during rolling lockout to get Henriques score.
Mums a nurse and Botha went to her boss yesterday

Mitch Marsh was great :D Shaun and Nannes were solid contributors.
Massively mediocre performance to date.
Might just stick to being a Big Bash fanatic and not a fantasy coach. :P
Might trade out Finch to Hales in preparation for the Renegades bye next week.
Then trade Hales back to Finch when Adelaide have their bye...
If you had have done it earlier, you could have traded to a scorcher for their DGW next week.

yeah I should have got in more scorchers :( I failed in that department.
I'll have Katich + 2 trade ins.
Distinct lack of Scorchers. Ritz will probably turn into somebody like Arafat or Hogg.
Bloody NCN better be right to go for the DGW! :O Then with Finch -> Voges I'll be set with three aswell.

whatchu on about? Finch + Bird :D (White on bench too.)
Finch was the only highlight, but most people have him anyway.
Shocking game.
Traded Finch, benched White, kept Rimmington.
Only good thing was benching Wright.
Benched Wright...
Benched Finch... so I could loophole captain Henriques with Travis Birt
so I get Finch's score :)
I had Maxwell, Bird, Finch, Murali and O'brien. Happy overall.
oh and Wade, but did better than most people seem to have in this thread so still happy.
I think thats the first time I've seen you smile in this thread :P
flower it hurts seeing White's 116 on my bench and Finch's 103 in my opponents score but not in mine ::) Will make our game very very tight now and screw my overall ranking.
Just hoping Henriques can pick up another 50 points today to cover Finch as Captain in a couple of my opponents, Traded White out this week as well to take advantage of Henriques as VC and also Lynns 90 on emergency bench.
ugh 481 with Henrquies x2, Maddinson, Bopara and Hawzlewood to come. And they are playing the Strikers :(
546 with Bopara, Maddinson, Lee, Henriques x2
Think I should be happy with that :)
I traded White this week ::) fml
Benched Dave Hussey, get around me
Benched White to get North's double score and leaving Hodge on field and had Rimmington on field with Sandu on bench.
This might hurt my ranking

I want to get Sandhu, very economical bowler, might go McKay to him when I get the chance.
Hales, feel free to pull out of this match so I get White's 116.
I want Shakib al Hasan to dominate today, because noone has him. :P But my Sixers still need to perform ;)
flower you Hazlewood ::) cost me 20 points from my unique player Brett Lee
Instead I get a catch from my C which everybody else has ::)
Hazlewood cost Lee a wicket
Figured to myself when Brett Lee was 4 runs off 2 balls "at least I'll sill get the 6rpo or less economy bonus"
not looking likely now ::)
flower I hate you Hazelwood
Brett Lee was looking great and was going to bet me 20 point ER bonus
Hazelwood drops a catch and it all goes downhill
Brett Lee loses good ER bonus chance
Henriques not bowling himself or Bopara enough to give them crack at ER bonus
are you flowering serious this is bullshower. My Sixers bowlers could not be gooing worse ::)
Hazelwood finishes with 3/16.
What a gun. 100 up from his two games.
Still hating on the overrated hack Hales ::)
picked up 140 points from Bopara, Henriques (c) and Hazlewood during that innings. :)

Henriques played back to a full one ??? wasn't that unlucky to be given out tbh..
Like the look of this Shakib 8)
There's a reason he's one of the best players in the world. I have a soft spot for left arm tweakers and have liked this guy for a long time now.
Bopara is crap hey.... Hasnt looked interested last couple games, lazy looking. Pitty I have to trade others right now.
Finch & Hales definate outs now?
Overall rank 743, got 828 this week. Keep within top 1000?
Will aim to have 6 scortchers next week, hopefuly they do well...
No awesome Hurricanes to get on for the rnd after... Thoughts? (Have Laughlin already)
Got over the line vs. PB and tbag x 2 so I'll have to take it I guess.
Maddinson got me over the line in 2 leagues lol.
Am I missing something with ppl looking to trade hales out? He is not listed in England's ODI squad?
Hurricaines share there double with thunder I believe, should be able to find a few choices between them. Often, a gun on a single will out score or match an average player on a double.
This is such a game of inches due to the small quads and limited games. my chances are blown thanks to the first no result game in hobart and also Had the ability to bring in finch or rimmington, chose rimmo. Egg on face!
Up to 150th overall! :D

Edit, just did my trades, have a whopping 95k left over. ;D
wanted to do
Obi/Murali > Hogg
and
Wright > Marsh, but short on cash
now IDK what to do.

Traded Finch to White and Maddison to Katich
Is any one aware of ijury status of Katich (think I read somewhere where he batted with a broken finger).
may have to reconsider if VetTori does not play either as Muralli is my emergency and Floros as well,
may slide down this week from my current overall position of 378

685 from the other 7. Henriques captain, finch, hazlewood and bird were my saviours haha
If I'd had White and Sandhu instead of hodge and Rimmington on I'd be 21st overall :P
Dropped to 266th overall this week thanks to Maddinson, D. Hussey and Rimmington.
Thinking Finch to S. Marsh and Rimmington/Murali to Nannes/Laughlin in prep for their doubles next week (think I've got enough Scorchers). Then will trade Marsh next week before his ODI.
Is that it for Ravi Bopara ?
Bring in Hogg or NCN? :)
Talk about bad luck. But all i needed from last nights game to win my match was 10 points from Hales Klinger and Maddinson. Hales gets 8 Klinger 1. Hmm not too bad. All i need is Maddinson to make 1. The douche makes a duck and gets neg 20. So now i need Klinger and Hales to take 2 catches between them. What happens.. Klinger drops 2. Fuarkkk. Where is the justice haha

Scorchers have the double, Renegades the bye
Knowing that I would be 10th not 57th right now if I had put White on-field over Maddo really depresses me. :(
Scorchers 13 Man squad v Hurricanes: Simon Katich, Yasir Arafat, Michael Beer, Jason Behrendorff, Nathan Coulter Nile, Brad Hogg, Mitch Marsh, Shaun Marsh, Alfonso Thomas, Ashton Turner, Craig Simmons, Adam Voges, Sam Whiteman.
Cooper -> Katich
Rimmo -> Hogg
90k+ left over. Would really like to spend it but got no free trades...
Still struggling with not looking close enough at my starting team, just using trades to keep up and carrying dead weight! :(
Finch -> S.Marsh
Ahmed -> N.CoulterNile
(http://i.imgur.com/ULr2iJS.png)
Got to get rid of one of my Gades bowlers
so looks like Obi/Murali > Hogg or NCN is my only option
Then I want to trade in Marsh but no cash unless I get rid of Maxwell, which seems like a silly idea.
Will NCN definitely play BOTH games or just 1? Makes me think maybe I should pick Hogg
Is Obi > Hogg/NCN and Finch > Marsh really the rest I can do? :-\
which marsh do you want?
I want Mitch
but Shaun is the only one I can afford... so Finch > Shaun it probably is

+1
Totally agree. That's the reason I started Marsh over Maxwell in the first place.
Such a hard week for trades, not really knowing about the futures of NCN, marsh and maxwell with the Aussie team. Plus, adl and scorchers have the bye next week so trying not too load up on scorchers is difficult
Is hales in the English ODI squad? Is he likely to play if so?
Hales isnt in the ODI squad mate.
I wouldn't do Maxwell to Marsh this week cause Perth have the bye next week.

Doesnt' really matter
as I'd still have Henriques and Wright I think? but oh well. Maxwell could score another 100 score and Marsh only 2x 50 and stupid trade.
Need help
Finch,White,Bopara,Maddinson (Cooper)
Mitch Marsh,Henriques (Wright)
Keiswetter (Neville)
Murali,Nannes,Alfonso,Bird (Fekete)
Is Mitch Marsh and Alfonso ok this week ?
Could trade Finch - Katich and Fekete - Hogg or
which gives me 4 this week but have 2 forced trades Bopara and a Scorcher bowler next week so am i better off going
Finch - M Hussey
Fekete - Bollinger
Finch isn't playing again
NCN is playing tomorrow, still unsure on the match on the 10th.
Scorchers have the bye next round, so don't overload on them.
Hurricanes have a double next week and have already had their bye. Players like Birt, Dunk, Bollinger the go here.
Strikers have a bye with the Scorchers (Hales, Klinger)
Thunder have a double with the Hurricanes but a bye the week after. (Mike Hussey, Sandhu)
2 teams having a bye in same round.. What a joke.. They have flowered up the fixtures majorly.
Might as well trade Finch this week. Renegades have the bye this week and then Finch will be on international duties with the ODIs. That being said he might actually be available for selection for some Big Bash games seeing as the Renegades next match is on the 15th which is right in between two ODIs on the 12th and 17th. Do people think he is likely to play in that Big Bash game?
I've changed my trades.
Finch -> Hussey (Gets a double next week)
Rose -> Hogg (Hogg is captain this week, may put Cutting captain though. Means I can play Rimmington if I want next week, have a 5 premo bowling line-up)
And 80k left 8)
i have also updated
Finch -> Birt (instead of S.Marsh) - still not sure about this one.....
Ahmed -> Cutting (instead of Coulternile)
My squad needs some work I have decided, so bringing in players that I will need to trade out again isnt the way forward.
Finch --> Katich
Murali --> Hogg/NCN

Having two hurts to much next week with Hobart not playing as well. Also they don't always pay off.
I'm risking it on M.Hussey this week instead of someone like Marsh. Got a double next week and has a late bye, hopefully it'll pay off.
I have Finch - M.Hussey
Second not sure of yet, If I trade NCN I can get anyone. But if I keep him and hope he plays both games then I'm probably stuck with The Wild Thing for Ahmed

Yeah, I already have two Scorchers - Voges/Thomas - who have been poor, plus Hales - so loading up wasnt a smart idea!
I think Ive run myself into a spot of bother

AR: M.Marsh - Henriques (Lawford)
WK: Kieswetter (Nevill)
BWL: Cutting - Bird - Vettori - Hazlewood (O'Brien)

Should have said, which one this week haha, I plan on having both come there DGW.
I think having 3 Scorchers is not a problem this week imo
You have 2 trades to trade them out and you still have 4 bench spots
So really you can have 5 on field this week
Trade 2 out and still have 3 on your bench. provided you have a playing 15.
Lucky I only have 1 striker and will have 3 scorchers post trade.

I think Ive run myself into a spot of bother
BAT: Finch - White - Hales - North (Maddinson)
AR: M.Marsh - Henriques (Lawford)
WK: Kieswetter (Nevill)
BWL: Cutting - Bird - Vettori - Hazlewood (O'Brien)
Have no Hurricanes or Thunder next week for their DGW and have only one scorcher for this week. What the hell do I do?
Finch > Katich (provided he's playing)
O'Brien > Hogg
then trade both of them out for Scorcher/Striker bye > Thunder/Hurricane
Someone tweeted asking about Shaun Marsh playing both, this was the reply
@ScorchersBBL: @stustar09 The 1st ODI isn't until 12 Jan, so he'll miss the @SixersBBL game on 10 Jan
Would assume the same for NCN
Ah shower forgot about marsh being in the ODI squad, damnit :(
That throws a spanner in the works.
Gonna have to figure out my trading plan over the next two weeks now.
Would that mean the same for Bopara being in the England Squad?
Ok, this is what I'm aiming for over the next two weeks. Still pissed about my North to Maddinson trade after round 1, such a nothing trade didn't need to do it.
This week: Finch --> M. Hussey & Murali --> Hogg.
M. Hussey, A. Hales, D. Hussey, T. Birt (N. Maddinson)
M. Marsh x2, M. Henriques (T. Armstrong x2)
C. Kieswetter (P. Nevill)
D. Vettori, B. Hogg x2, N. Coulter-Nile, J. Hazlewood (N. Rimmington)
Then next week I can go NCN --> Nannes/Laughlin and Armstrong --> umm, Shoab Malik or Chris Woakes, I guess (anybody rate them as options?) which should hopefully leave me looking like this (remembering Strikers & Scorchers have the bye and Hurricanes & Scorchers play twice).
M. Hussey x2, D. Hussey, T. Birt x2, N. Maddinson (A. Hales)
S. Malik/C. Woakes x2, M. Henriques (M. Marsh)
C. Kieswetter (P. Nevill)
D. Vettori, N. Rimmington, D. Nannes/B. Laughlin x2, J. Hazlewood (B. Hogg)
Not thrilled about it, but should be solid enough.
I believe Woakes is finished with his BBL duties... :\ So Malik the only option then, as you want a DGW player. That looks like the best way to go about things yeah. :) Solid team.
James Hopes (c), Dan Christian, Ben Cutting, Peter Forrest, Cameron Gannon, Nathan Hauritz, Craig Kieswetter, Chris Lynn, Alister McDermott, Luke Pomersbach, Chris Sabburg, Mark Steketee, Daniel Vettori.
The Heat's 13 for tomorrow. :)
BAT: Finch, Bopara, Hales, Maddinson. (Katich)
ALR: M.Marsh, Hastings. (Wright)
WK: Kieswetter. (Nevill)
BOWL: Bird, Hazelwood, Cutting, Murali. (Rose)
$6k Remaining. Thinking of going Finch
Why would you not play Katich with scorchers having 2 games. Do not think Bopara is available either,
I am playing Katich this is just my team from last round, I didn't move the players around when I wrote this.
So yeah, not too sure what to do this week... Current team is:
Finch, White, Dilshan, Pomers (Silk)
Maxwell, Hastings (Malik)
Kieswetter (Hartley)
Rimmington, Sandhu, Hazlewood, Hauritz (Rose)
Finch going on ODI duties plus has the bye this week means I may have to trade him. Alternatively, bench him for Silk and trade out Finchy next week (although trading him down to somebody will give me cash).
The plan is to trade Maxi next week once he goes on ODI duties, just a matter of who to bring in.
My bowlers are kinda stuffed atm, thinking of trading Ritz (because he's absolutely useless) and maybe Rose.

Finch is finished, at least until the finals, so you may as well get rid of him because then you can bring in anyone this week, else you risk a 0 with Bopara who may also not play because of the ODI's. And you will be copping a 0 unless you trade Murali or O'Brien.
So I'd be looking to cover that. I'm not telling you who to cover them with, that's half the battle and I don't want to give away my plans as I'm in the top 10 at this stage, but that's what you need to do.
I would go Murali to Hodge and Finch to whoever fits your plan mate.. 👍
Anyone have thoughts on playing Whiteman over Kieswetter for the DGW.?
Also will I need to have my donut (Murali) on the field to take advantage of loophole or can I still sub him on tomorrow morning if needed.?
Cheers

Just to let you know that Murali will not be locked till final game. You just need to be careful to ensure you have a bowler for him to sub 2. You could say have a known bowler as sub with Murali on the field and then use the c on him if required. I have done that now twice vc'd a player playing 2 games and then deciding whether to take it after the first game and pit my C on the non playing player.
This week for example I will have the VC on Katich or Mitch Marsh still deciding and if they go 50+ in the first game I will bring Hartley onto the field for Kiewsetter and make him captain. If they do not score well then team stays with Hussey or White as captain.
Awesome, Cheers Ringo.. I have V on M Marsh, hope
He can smash it tonight..!

Will only play 10 this week cos of a bad call on my behalf but should i get birt or laughlin/bollinger .Birt is more risky isnt he ?

Will I went Birt, and that most likely going to blow up in my face, so if you want to share the travisty pick him!! :o
please trade out Birt then. :) ;) There aren't many options from Hobart, and they are the best team to pick players from moving forward. :( Birt is solid, I also am looking at getting Dunk in for the DGW along with Laughlin.
Yeah maybe Dilshan might be a go ? Opens the batting and will bowl 1 or 2 overs and might jag one.I more mean if im short batsmen or bowler ?
Is Voges really stupid if he comes in at 3 i know he hasnt got form? he batted in front of marsh last game was just that Simmons opened
BREAKING NEWS: Alfonso Thomas has been withdrawn from the Scorchers 13-man squad due to a back injury sustained in training yesterday. He has been replaced in the extended team by Hilton Cartwright.
Thomas will be assessed by medical staff over the next 24-48hrs ahead of the squad announcement for Friday's clash with Sydney Sixers at the SCG.
Ended up trading Clive Rose to Ashton Turner and Nathan Hauritz to Brett Lee.
Figured that Binga would be a decent option considering he pretty much bowls his overs and snags a few wickets, even if he isn't economical at times.
Turner can bowl but is being used as a batsman.

Just helping my people out. ;)
Any word yet whether Katich is definitely playing.
Alfonso has screwed my plan...
Thinking Behrendorff as then I'll have enough cash to M.Marsh and VC him.
Was thinking I'll trade S.Marsh->Birt. But will probably do that next week. Kinda annoying I won't get 2 games out of him this week though!! ::)
have gone Murali to Hogg and Silk to North. Have Hale and Vettori on the benches.
Trade out Maddo or North? Or trade out both and leave Obi on the bench for a week?
Hurricanes: Dunk, Malik, Birt, Wells, Shah, Blizzard, Paine, Laughlin, Hilfenhaus, Doherty and Bollinger.
Sho Malik opening the bowling. :o
"Gilly Factor" ::)
Is Henriques playing this week?
Only got (C) Hogg in this game.
"Gilly Factor"
a bit fishy? ;D
I went Murali > Hogg
and am holding my trade of Finch > ?
still don't know who I'm going to trade in. Probably should have traded in Marsh upon reflection. But also thought Finch > M. Hussey might be the way to go for next round. Thoughts?
Yeah I could have got Marsh in probably. But would/will be a waste if he goes on ODI duties (will he? or will he BBL?)
I only have 3 scorchers/strikers (Zampa, Hogg and Katich) so I could've afforded to get Katich in I reckon.

You shouldn't be too happy
Katich is still on 34 with a game to go
and Birt scored a very solid 44
Marsh just killed your score with some shocking bowling
Give Ashton Turner an over to get a wicket. :P
Bleep umpiring 2 lbw decisions that were going down leg side. 4 off the bat called as leg byes cost me a strik rate for Shah as well

NCN, Birt, Katich, MMarch (vc). Love it. 8)
Its all over!! What a game of cricket we had. It was Perth Scorchers who held their nerve and outplayed Hurricanes .
21 off last three was so get-able but Hurricanes messed up in between and lost too many wickets for few little runs.

6po is a 20, 8po is a 12. Hogg went 0/24, so that should be a 20 pointer there :)

Think we will have to sell anyway, sure to bowl in the ODIs? Even though there's only five ::)
But he won the game, well done kid!! Perth didn't solely on the Marsh's this time!
I started with NCN and have held him through his test duties. So worth it, he guns it when he plays.
Unfortunately though I'll have to give him the chop due to ODI duties, you've done me proud buddy.

Haha yeah, Katto has been phenomenal, your team still seems to suck balls though. Minus NCN and the older Marsh, any hope from here? ??? Maybe open with Mitchy
Oh and yeah, Hoggy is just amazing, how the frog are Perth doing so poorly with these champions doing so well?
dont forget the fonz.
and our other import hasnt played a game yet.

Not a hater ele just calling it as I see it and evidence was there. Not taking away from the great game that imo was not helped by the two decisions. Would have liked to have seen what would have happened without the decisions as I suspect would still have been tight.
Is it worth using the loophole on Katich seeing as he only scored 34 in his first game, or give the C to one of White, Maxwell, M Hussey, Bird?

He was one of the most economical death bowlers in the league over the past two seasons and yes, he's been scratchy this season but was great in setting up the win vs the Renegades. Once we get Cummins back our attack is the best in the league.
Of course we are a batsmen short, flowering Dwayne Smith pulled out on us last minute ::) If we make finals we have the bowling power to compensate for a perceived batting weakness.

Just realised I am playing you in one of the Leagues so take the advice how you would.
Basically it comes down to how many you think Katich will score against Sixers. Looked good last night until run out by his partner. Will open the innings again. So if he was to score say 50 for 84 would any of the other options score 84 as an example.
Only you can make the decision but remember Hussey is playing Heat tonight so if you think he is an alternate to change before match. As a Heat supporter I am nervous about this one as I think if Hussey fires Thunder will get their first win. Been close.
Also White opens for the Stars but does not bowl unfortunately but is also capable of scoring 80+.
Your decision.

Yeah Torp and Koop have convinced me to go with Hussey for now. White was fantastic as captain last week, but not sure if he'll fire two weeks in a row.

AHah but Ele.. you have to admit, this season he has been bowling dismal. Yeah true, that did hurt us big time! Should of paid Hussey more and recruited a big hiter.

I hate rolling lockout when I'm working because if I'm working (4/7 days/week) it's when the big bash games start. So I can't use rolling lockout properly
Like if I wasn't working I would've saved my Finch trade for tonight's game to see if Zampa was playing. As Zampa isn't playing I would've gone
Zampa > Playing bowler
and Maddinson > on field for Finch
instead I had to make the call of
Finch is expensive and has NAT duty coming out so trade him out and hope Zampa plays

Because of how my team was, I didn't really have the luxury of trading in too many Scorchers. The best I was able to do was get Ashton Turner in for Nathan Hauritz which worked out brilliantly, but I was too scared to make him captain because I wasn't sure how he'd go.
Knew White would open and possibly get a catch or two.
Probably should have given Maxi the C, but whatever... already behind the 8 ball. :P
Should have given the VC then :P

My team's doing only marginally better than the Thunder. :P
Hurricanes vs Thunder
Hurricanes: Paine (wk), Birt, Blizzard, Bollinger, Boyce, Dunk, Gulbis, Hilfenhaus, Laughlin, Malik, Mennie, Shah, Wells
Thunder: Hussey, Borgas, Carters (wk), Dean, Floros, Hughes, Khawaja, Patterson, Mendis, Nannes, Sandhu, Tremain, Tye.
Reminder both these teams have a Double Game week, with the Scorchers and Strikers NOT playing this round. Also this match is played in the afternoon, so make sure your trades are done by then if they includes players from these two teams!
Stars vs Heat
Stars: White, Wade (wk), Quiney, Hodge, Hussey, Keath, Wright, Stionis, Hastings, Boland, Malinga, Muirhead, Bird.
Heat: Hopes, A.McDermott, B.McDermott, Cutting, Lynn, Kieswetter (wk), Christian, Vettori, Forrest, Pomersbach, Gannon, Sabburg, Steketee
This match is tomorrow night. :) Stars have lost three players to international duty now.
If they don't open the site tonight/ early tomorrow morning, it could leave only a few hours to sort your team. Plenty will miss lockout, at least it is a rolling lockout I suppose

Captain Mitch Marsh gone for a duck, all he had to do was score 1. ::) flowering bullshower.

Nah his score is doubled after the two games have been combined.
So he scored 52 in the first game and is currently -20, so 32 in total (66 as captain).
As I said 33 now doubled is 66 whereas at start he was 53 doubled 106 so - 40 so far
Captain Katich <3
Quote from: Jayman on January 10, 2014, 08:55:07 PM
Captain Katich <3
This. Although flower Brett Lee for doing something after I dropped him
Had voges as capt, hoping for a big result, too bad he could have come in earlier. Looked really good.
That and Thomas is gonna cost me! :(
Marsh as captain >:(
But Whiteman ;D
But score so far >:(
Andy Maher...its a cracking finish here... ::)
SUUUUPPPPEEERRR OVER
Tie.......whooo hooo
:o
Do these runs/wickets get added to their fantasy stats? :O :O :O
That's the only way I could lose
Had 2 doughnuts in my lineup, still beat all 3 opponents 8)
Bowl off -- bring on Voges!! :P
Steve Smith... idiot ::)
Henriques... first ever pair in T20?
.......annnnnnnd my lowest score of the season. Damn inconsistency
wish it was supercoach!! Voges hits the winning runs!!
MMarsh x2, Katich, Hazlewood, Henriques, Maddinson combined for 43 points last night.... I was expecting closer to 243.... :(
Wonder how many teams will bring in Arafat after the bye. Listed now at $93k. I will consider it.
As an aside though Ryan Harris will be available for Brisbane Heat for next rounds (not tonight) as well so he will probably come into consideration as well
Know how you feel PB Started the night on 507 points and finished on 521 despite having Kattich.
Seriously considering Michael Hill for Finchy.
Gonna give me some serious cash. :o
Katich - Birt
Bopara - Khawaja
Birt, Laughlin, Hussey (C) and Khawaja with the double this week.
Would you guys go Khawaja + Bollinger or Birt + Nannes?
Even considering both Hobart boys to avoid problems next week when the Thunder have their bye :-X
Nannes and Birt for me

This is a non-contest
Birt > Khawaja
Nannes > Bollinger
Khawaja has only ever had 1 good T20 innings, Birt was one of the best bats in BBL02 and isn't going too bad this year
Nannes wouldn't even use Doug the Rug to decorate his house.
have gone - Maddinson to Birt and Hartley to Dunk
Didn't realise Doug the Rug's score was lowered by a weather flavoured doughnut
So now considering bringing in Khawaja and Bollinger instead of Khawaja and Nannes
That way I can trade out my 2 thunder bats next week if I need.
Remember Hurricane Thunder game starts in an hour and a half as well so trades need to be completed by then.
Big Zach Tuohy ranked 31st overall, 8) No donuts this week but Maddo on field, :/ also is Luke Wright playing?
Why is nobody looking at Ben Laughlin? I'm tossing up between him and Nannes.
Dunk trade looks like playing off so long as he does not get a duck next game alla Marsh. ;D ;D
I wanted to get Dunk in also Ringo...
However: Adam Zampa (didn't play last week and no reason to expect him to play this week) and Hogg - 1 needed to go here
Bopara (isn't playing anymore is he?) + Katich
Meant I needed to trade 1 bowler and 1 bat out and couldn't get on Dunk.
Maaaaaaalik
Hussey gone early will setback a lot of teams inluding mine who had him as c
Are you flowering serious Hussey ::)
Lucky I only had him VC.
Still a toss up though, Maxwell C or back Hussey in as VC? Still averages like as much as everyone else.
Quote from: Ringo on January 11, 2014, 03:42:12 PM
Hussey gone early will setback a lot of teams inluding mine who had him as c
As did I. :( At least he has another game to make up for it.
You guys are silly, why not VC him?
Maxwell or Hussey? Still a tough call. Or one of my other guns IDK
ARE YOU flowerING SERIOUS?
Why did I have to get stuck playing against you Ringo
6 DGW players this week? Are you bloody serious? ::) And you managed to get Dunk who I wanted, 116 for you already ::)
And Ringo's Laughlin takes a wicket ::)
If Huss fails in next match Nails you can catch up. Thought it reasonably safe to make him C as I did not have a lot of other options apart from Cutting. Shah with only 3 points will allow you some catch up as well.
Was setting up for teams with the double bye and double games last week as well to help.
My unique Khawaja gets dismissed by Ringo's unique Laughlin
While my unique bowler Doug the rug continues with his nice little 0.
Laughlin run out and game over. It's annoying as I was considering trading him in. I got confused by the Hurricanes' doughnuts lowering their averages.
This game sucks.
Went Nannes over Laughlin even though Thunder have the bye next week. Dirk is sitting on a donut while Laughlin has taken two wickets and a runout.

and will get a 20 point ER provided he bowls another over most likely.
At least bringing in Shoaib Malik was a good move at this stage. 72 points from him today with another game to come.
If Doug doesn't get another over... ::)
flower THIS BULLshower
flower off Laughlin
Love this caught Dunk Bowled Laughlin
Laughlin wicket, Dunk catch and Doug not even getting a 3rd over ::)
get flowered Ringo ::)
At least Nannes might get a bat seeing that Thunder are flowering atrocious.
ARE YOU flowerING SERIOUS
how could you not give Bollinger another over? TWO OVERS? flower YOU YOU SPUD cowS THIS IS SUCH BULLshower
There you go Nails. :P
Catch for Dougy Nails so no donut.
Nails... mate...
take your mind off fantasy cricket (http://montecito.net.au/the-ladies/)
:P
I HOPE T PAINE NEVER SEES INTERNATIONAL CRICKET EVER AGAIN
LEAVES HIS BEST BOWLER ON THE OUTER AND BOWLS SPUD LAUGHLIN
idiot
Hussey VC, Birt, Laughlin. That's a decent day, I think I'll be taking a punt on someone else with the C.
Not really complaining despite a score of 2 from Captain Hussey and 3 from Shah as they have another game to catch up. Sound return from Floros and excellent returns from Birt, Laughlin and Dunk. All have another game to go as well.
I am dirty that Dunk is listed as a keeper and not a batsman. :( I was going to bring him in but he wasn't a batter, so have Lynn instead. :)

How is Laughlin a spud? One of the best T20 bowlers in the country, which is why he has played for Australia. I wouldn't say Bollinger is their best bowler either. Hilfy is better, as is Laughlin.
Nails if you are still there you may wish to reconsider your Captain Maxwell will not be playing for Stars tonight.
Dilshan, get the flower outta my fantasy team.
Jordan Silk better score nicely. >:(

Took a nap. FML.
Would have been considering Bird too.
Yeah probably would've gone Bird
You're guaranteed to win now Ringo. Wish someone told/reminded me before I locked the C on him :( lol
Bird needed 1 run or less off his last ball so that he got 20 ER bonus
Stars have fielder stupidly deep, goes for 2 ::)
Good game Ringo, shouldn't have taken a nap, it cost me what small chance I did have.
Had VC on MHuss, might gamble and chuck the C on Rimmington against Thunder :o
Was tossing up between Dunk or Birt to bring in... Went Birt... Still happy though ;D
Sandhu you beauty!
Was going to say Finch would get out for a duck...
Had a feeling
Wanted to post "inb4 Finch gets out for a duck" but didn't have the balls to do it.
Hopefully Hussey can get a few to lift his score as Captain
Gurinder Sandhu, I love you!
Quote from: Ringo on January 14, 2014, 07:59:19 PM

Yeah hope it doesn't bite me in the balls with my Maxwell flower up.
Hussey catch just then helps.
Another, albeit lucky, wicket for Sandhu!
Dem fantasy points. 8)
Won't be enough runs for Hussey to chase so that he can get a gun score ::)
Accidental Hussey captain if he ends up on like 2* cause Thunder pwn ::)
What are peoples thoughts on Strikers players for next round?
I'll have to trade NCN if he is on ODI duty.
Where next though, none of the batsmen offer much hope.. (I have Hales and Klinger is injured?)
Any news on Botha? Will he play both games?

Botha is a 50/50 chance of playing tomorrow I think. Would definitely be looking at getting him in if he was fit and if I didn't have enough good all-rounders.
Michael Neser mabye?

Don't trade out either of your two bowlers who have the bye and avoid getting the player with the DGW

the real genius is the champ that came up with the double and by rounds ::)
My beef scoring 715 and still getting beaten in one League by the 8th placed player scoring 751. Both scores 150 above the next highest.
Anyone have thoughts on Neser? Would it be risky bringing in Botha instead after his fractured finger..?

Hussey, Katich, Hussey, Lynn (Maddinson)
Wright, Neser (Henriques)
Kieswetter (Whiteman)
Cutting, Bird, Arafat, Malinga (Nannes)
Maddinson > Smith and Kieswetter > Dunk next round, 8)

Spot on.
This is the second last week.
Unlimited trades come finals time.
Went Pomers -> Katich and Malik -> Wright.
Might yet go Neser if I change my mind at some point throughout the day.
Best batsmen under $97,400? Excluding Smith, Hales and Birt?
My ranking has been steadily declining over the past 3-4 weeks. Now at 709 overall...
Have no clue what trades to makes, do we know if Vettori is going to play?
Ranking now up to 120
This is current team for this week before any trades:
Lynn; Katich; Birt; Shah (M Hussey)
L Wright, M Marsh (Henriques) Quandry which 2 to start
Dunk (Kieswetter)
Bird, Laughlin, Cutting, Vettori (Floros)
Awaiting teams to be announced before finalising trades as Lynn withdraw from PM 11 but can not find any further info on injury or availabilty,
All being Normal trades being considered Shah > S Smith and Vettori to Harris (If Harris named)

Would have been better if I had the Kahunas to make him Captain. Did dice with the idea and stuck to the supposedly reliable Hussey who failed with 2 and then did not bat long in the Thunders chase but not alone there,

Yes i still have Thomas haha ill keep him though coming 250ish and havnt used him much might come good for once as a pod
Have $11,500 in the bank .
Cooper - Hughes
Wright - Henriques
Or should i swap Nannes for Tait/Richardson
Anyone got teams for tonight yet?
(http://i.imgur.com/USGWIwV.png)
Hussey > Lumb and Maxwell > Neser?
or
Hussey > Lumb (is there someone better than Lumb?) and Khawaja to someone like White
If I don't get rid of Khawaja I'd have to play Maddinson, but not end of world.
Is there anyone in my team not playing this week?

Bravo and Big Rhyno in.... ;D
Went a bit risky and brought in Phil Hughes
Now just deciding on Malik to Henriques or Bravo
Brought in Luke Wright, made him captain.
Also brought in Simon Katich and made him vice.
This could pay off now.
flower me
so sick of my players getting out because they're backing away or advancing down the wicket when it is NOT EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE TO NEEDED
You know it's a bad shot when it be considered stupid for T20

Hence why I said it could pay off.
I initially made Katich captain and then changed it.
Wasn't very clear in your post :P
I'm pissed I didn't get Richardson in...
32 points off his first over alone.
Ended up bringing Hales and Neser in.
If anyone has Kane Richardson, that wicket maiden has just snared them some handy early points.
Gotta love a wicket maiden from your new recruit ;D
Have Richo for five matches, does nothing ::) made him Malinga though after his price drop ;D
IDK how you had the balls to bring him in, he's shower or has been so far fantasy wise.

Neser you flowering p.o.s. what a joke of a trade in. Should have just taken my current ARs.
Simmons is going crazy, hahaha :-\
Kinda wish I got Simmons in.
Dont we all
Scorchers getting to 200 then a Hales and Neser 200 run stand would be nice after Hogg takes 5/0 in the first over.

Hogg? You mean Cummins ;)
Head cant catch for shower.
Loopholed Neser, so far ehhhhhhhhhh :-\
eh?
27 is a great loophole score. Think about it, players who'd be potential captains like Finch and Katich could fail and get under 20 EASILY
a locked in 27 is a sure thing especially when he has another game to come.

Tait 60, Richardson 44. Got there in the end. pleased. :P
The Halestorm is coming 8)
Vice Captained Hales, pretty happy. Now just better hope Hartley doesn't play, and if he does, Kieswetter better miss. :P

I "fluked" the trade ins of Hales and Tait this week right? ;) And also making Hales captain. yeah tbag, all a fluke :P
Went a bit risky with my trades this week and brought in Hughes + Richardson - 117 points combined with another game to come for them.
Stoked. ;D

Yes you agree, good lad :) you know you fluked it and are man enough to admit, good work
The fact the Strikers play twice doesn't make it not a fluke, those two have been so bad even an idiot would struggle to bring em in
Unless you purposely brought them in in a hail mary they might actually produce, in which case, admit it!
248 from me. off 3 player. Traded in Hales and Hughes this week. What a move bringing in hughes after he has been struggling to make runs all big bash. Trade in of the century!!
Did the loophole with Neser, is his score (27) Good enough?

Hmm tough one. Would be more inclined to go Wright or Cutting. Say Nesser gets 1 wicket next game would give him 47. I think Wright can beat that if he gets a bowl. But then again if nesser gets a few wickets then youll be spewin. Then again he could get 0 wickets and end up on 27 from 2 games. So tough one..

I'd stick with Neser captain personally. The others could get a duck and be -20, if Neser gets a duck in the next game then at least he still gets 7.
Being away sort of messed up my team but still holding up :-\

Legendary. Especially with Klinger out. I had Klinger in my team but offloaded him and Huss. Hussey let me down as big C last gameweek :(.
What did Hughes end up scoring?
58 PB
alright, so far happier I traded in Hales haha. Hopefully my solid last night can continue through the remaining three games. :) More runs from Hales would be golden. :D
Didn't realise the draw worked like this...
You realise those of you wondering whether to put a C on and not take Neser etc.
You don't even really have to decide that difficult. Neser and co play their 2nd game before the games for: Gades, Sixers, Stars and Canes start
So you'll know what his full score is before you have to decide.
Unless your player is Chris Hartley or you are thinking of captaining a Hear then yes you can wait until after this 2nd match. >:(
Captaining heat is crazy they suck except maybe 1 player but he don't deserve it anyway.

Well he made 58 but got 70 points with his catch, so 7 up on Hales so far :P Hopefully they both go big again tomorrow :)
ahhhh ok, so yeah, Hughes better so far. I don't care who scores, as long as the Strikers win tomorrow!!
There you go Fellas! Neser 20 already :-*

Same as you a couple of weeks ago mate. Away for the weekend and had to sort trades out before I went and as a result did not have the option of playing around with VC loophole or emergency loophole due to players involved. henriques and Kiewsetter may have come into consideration for emergency loophole if I had access to computer, I have 204 on the bench more than my 6 players 148.
doing well this round. On about 580 with Northys 42 to cover finch yet to be counted. Also have Bird and Wright playing tomorrow. Hopefully go 700+ .
Just a heads up to anyone with Owais Shah, he has been dropped from the 13 man squad as Dimitri Mascheranes has returned.
Paine (c), Dunk, Blizzard, Birt, Bollinger, Boyce, Gulbis, Hilfenhaus, Laughlin, Malik, Mascarenhas, Mennie and Wells.
Dimi! 8)

http://www.perthscorchers.com.au/news/2014/01/21/injury-ends-arafats-bbl03
Oh fifa, I've got Arafat and Malinga, :'(
David Hussey with a wicket first ball of the game. You beauty!
glad i kept him now.... 8)
Wright and Duke involved early! 8)
Where the hell is Birt?
Holy shower, diamond duck to Malik. Thank God I don't have him anymore.
Malik gone for a diamond duck, thank god I played M. Marsh over him. :P
Hang on, I've got Mike Hussey (C) with Hales as (VC) to take his score. I've then got David Hussey on the bench covering Mike (bye), but his current game score hasn't updated to my total yet?
Have I made a mistake or does a bench players' score not update until after the game?

Doesn't update til after I think.
yeah sometimes it won't even update until the lockout finishes, but it will count.
Thanks lads, was getting worried there for a bit haha.
Benching Henriques over Neser was a killer.
I only went Maxwell > Henriques because I wanted to get Neser's double game which meant I had to bench 1 of Henriques and Wright
Wright and Henriques both outscoring captain Neser ::)
Bollinger on bench over Lee a killer too.

Know how you feel mate and as you know after my dreadful start came home strong but ran out of puff,
After 3 games I had a higher score the Bench 204 (Henriques and Kiewsetter) than the 148 from the six players who played. Thank Heavens for strong games from Dunk, Birt, Laughlin and Wright who I captained to take me to 508.
I've given up. Too much hassle, and I always forget when each round starts :-\
wooop. ranked 112 for round! Even had finch still in team. Finch to Lumb im thinking...
Scored 782 which was ranked 33rd overall for the week. :)
Overall ranking now up to 242.
With my 506 Ranking dropped to 186
Trying to decide whether to trade this week or not.
Lyn, Birt, Hussey, Smith and Kattich
Wright, Henriques (M Marsh)
Dunk. (Kiewsetter)
Bird, Laughl;in, Cutting, Harris (Floros)
Think Smith is called into ODI side will not play can any confirm. may not trade and use him for loop hole if need be.
There is really one match I need to win as I am sitting 6th in that but have a healthy percentage and hoping to get into four.
Top in 3 leagues and 2nd in another
What happens in finals? I heard we get unlimited trades, can anyone confirm this?
Ringo, you and Koop are on the same score then. :O And I am only 5 points behind you. :D

Actually, just take notice that Steve Smith might not play, as if he has been called into the ODI squad, they play in Adelaide on the 25th, and Sydney play in Sydney on the 25th.
Ok with Hughes out I'm thinking of going Hughes --> B. Hodge @ $53,100. But then I can't use the captain loophole since all my players will be playing, and with no double GW this week choosing a captain might be difficult.

I am probably not trading till after the Hurricanes Heat Game. I will be putting the VC on one of players in the first 2 games and then work out trades and c emergencies after that. In your case you could keep Hughes on the field to work the loop hole if need be.
This fantasy big bash has been a joke. What kind of fantasy system allows you to trade players whilst that gameweek is going. There is a captain loophole every game.. May as well just award the person who sits on his computer the longest the number 1 ranking..

Just realised I can't use the loophole anyway since Hughes will be locked in tonight.
You can play him on the field though and then work your emergencies and VC around him. eg Make Birt VC and if after tomorrows game he has high score then put C on Hughes but if not yoiu have the other options to put C on as well.
Bear in mind you only have to make final 4 and then you have unlimited trades for semifinals and finals.

I am waiting on Smith as his team does not play till the 3rd match. So he can sit for loophole and if not required trade then.

Yep, I'd definitely hold for tonight, as, should Hales fire, Smith can be your loophole man allowing you to make a trade elsewhere. :)

But Hughes plays for the Strikers who are playing tonight, so won't he be locked in (can't put the C on him) tonight?
Anyway, I won't be trading tonight. Just need to work out if I should give Hales the VC.
Sorry Ad you are right - Had in mind he played for one of the Sydney Teams sorry. So maybe trade him if you need a secure batting line up.

LEAGUE IS ONLY FOR THE 8 ROUNDS

I think this is how I'll have my team lineup tonight.
Thoughts? Should I be making any trades before match 1?
I figure if I put all my strikers/gades on the bench if they FIRE I'll trade in a non-playing player for the worst on field player left.
However if they go shower I can keep that dodgy player or upgrade him to the best player still available. Thoughts? Big issues is if all 4 fire I might not be able to get them all playing
Will Wade be playing this week? Should I be trading in a better Keeper if he isn't? IDK
You could perhaps try VC loopholing one if you have confidence in them Nails. :)
Well that sucks then. Why couldn't they do league finals? It would fit in perfectly with the actual game's format. ::)

I'd trade Maddinson to someone who definitely won't play in the Scorchers/Stars game (Dwayne Smith?) so you have a non-playing player for the captain loophole.
If Birt goes big tomorrow as your VC then you'll want his score but all your players will be playing. Then leave your other trade for the Strikers/Renegades players loophole tonight.
Anyone else havce their score adjusted after the lockout ended? My score didn't change, but my ranking went from 195 to 187, and I'm not going crazy, as ringo confirmed that he lost 30 points somewhere.

If Birt goes big tomorrow as your VC then you'll want his score but all your players will be playing. Then leave your other trade for the Strikers/Renegades players loophole tonight.
I'd only trade to someone who won't play if Birt scores gun first. That's what my trades are for. Or if Hales scores awesome then I'd also trade Maddinson to someone who won't play to get Hales' score on field. However if Hales scores shower, I'll just trade in a gun like Lumb and can get the doughnut somewhere else.
@nrich I would not do anythiung until after tonights game - If Nesser goes big then C on Forrest or Mackay and trade the other,
Would look at McKay to Laughlin or Harris or Forest to Birt
@Nails - Fair enough, since Hughes is locked in tonight I need to trade him now. ::) So I've gone Hughes --> Liam Davis from Scorchers (hope like hell he doesn't get a call up lol).
BAT: M. Hussey, T. Birt, D. Hussey, L. Davis (A. Hales)
ALR: M. Marsh, M. Henriques (S. Malik)
WKP: C. Kieswetter (P. Nevill)
BWL: B. Hogg, D. Nannes, J. Hazlewood, N. Rimmington (K. Richardson)
Players in blue are playing tonight, not sure whether to start Rimmington or Richardson yet...
Think Hughes --> Davis is my best option. Now I can VC Birt and if he goes big I can chuck the C on Davis, otherwise if Birt scores shower I'll chuck it on Henriques or someone else.
Neville debut?

TRADE IN A PLAYER NOT A NON-PLAYING PLAYER IMO
Your 2nd trade can be used to trade in a non-playing player imo
Get somebody good as if your VC goes shower, it's pointless having brought in a non-playing player.
What if one of your other players trips and hurts ankle just before the game? Worst comes to worst and Birt smashes it, you can use your SECOND trade to trade in a doughnut C option and one that you are SURE won't play.

I was at cricket training, didn't see the message. Oh well, hopefully it pays off lol.
Damn it, Neser single off his last ball meant he only got +12 whereas if he got 2 would have been +20 :(
Guess now I have to trade out Henriques and probably Wade (if Wade doesn't play again)
Bravo as Captain again....Oh Yeah.... ;D

Bravo as VC soon to be Captain yes. Holding off though to ensure Steve Smith definitely does not play. If he does there will be a trade to another non playing player.
dont have Bravo :( Do I captain Nesers 95 or not?

I'd take 95 from my Captain any day Nate. As you say scores in the bank and you do not run the risk of captain scoring less although he may score more.
EVERY SINGLE flowerING WEEK I'M SICK OF flowerING GETTING STUCK WITH MADDINSON IN MY TEAM
(http://i.imgur.com/qzOm1kh.png)
Guess I gotta have Maddinson though
Wade > Kieswetter or Dunk?
Henriques/Wright > Non-player
Quote from: T Dog on January 23, 2014, 09:13:17 AM

262 from Bravo alone this week..total round 2 team score - 286; total round 5 team score - 278... :-[
How good am I going. ::)
@Nails - Wade to Kieswetter/Dunk is a must trade. Would probably go Dunk as Kieswetter is very up and down.
Then would go Wright to non-playing player (you can flip a coin between Henriques/Wright but I don't want Wright to do well vs Scorchers).
Yeah think I'd back in Henriques
I think Henriques is a more sure thing as he tends to always bowl 3+ overs whereas Wright is solely on batting most times and therefore is a higher chance to fail.
Just wish Wade would play so I could flower Maddinson off for Hales. I think having all 4 on the bench was the safest option, but sad to see 44 not get used.
Nails
Wade to Dunk and why not Maddinson to a non player as Henriques or Wright can still score as well.
Think is Maddinson can also score well
He's against the Thunder
The problem is though Ringo, I'm more likely to gain points trading out Henriques
If Henriques/Wright score to average I lose ~42 points not trading them out. I only lose ~24 if I don't trade Maddinson out and he scores to average.
Seriously tempted to play Shoaib Malik over Mitch Marsh...
Usually would just keep Malik on the bench and see how he goes before using the loophole, but I've already used one of my trades and already need to trade one of Hogg/Hazlewood/Nannes to a non-playing player so I can get Richardson's 59 on the field and if Malik scores 60+ on my bench I don't want to choose between taking his or Richardson's score... (if only I benched Rimmington instead :( ).
BAT: M. Hussey, T. Birt (VC), D. Hussey, L. Davis (A. Hales 44)
ALR: M. Henriques, M. Marsh (S. Malik)
WKP: C. Kieswetter (P. Nevill -8)
BWL: B. Hogg, J. Hazelwood, N. Rimmington 12, D. Nannes (K. Richardson 59)
Thoughts? 20 minutes left...
Id do it Ada, every man and his dog has marsh whereas Malik is slightly more unique.
Loop or bench Hales' 44? if Loop, who out of Birt, White, Huss or North wil score the least?
Dump North and take the 44 imo.
Traded in Dunk, threw the VC on him.
Should send Birt in at first drop you flowersticks ::)
Birt VC. ::)
Not too late for 50* (20) Adam
Yeah but now they've sent Malik in over Birt...
Beginning to wish I had Hales on field and Birt on the bench ::)

Usually keeps for Tassie (obviously when Paine is injured).
Tim Paine is their preferred keeper.
C'mon Trav, fire up.

Stuck with Birt 11 on field and Hales 44 on bench ::)
Hopefully at least 1 if not 11 catches for Birt.
Cheers Travis. >:(
Very happy with my Birt VC > Dunk VC last minute call.
Unless Dunk's S/R somehow drops a lot which I think is pretty much impossible I'm guaranteed 100+ *2 from VC Dunk :D
WHAT A GREAT CAPTAIN SCORE!
200 Dunk
95 Neser
cheers fellas.
WTF DUNK
Got to get UNDER it, not FLAT
So many flowering spuds get out going flat stupid flower.
Did Cutting only bowl one over or did I miss something?
Bowled two
0/18
Damn it, some of my opponents have Lynn and Vettori flowering catches ::)
Nails you have Dunk captain? who gives a flower about a couple of catches lol.
If I could afford another trade would probably have gone Bollinger to Laughlin or Gannon... :( Hope Dougie proves me wrong and KILLS it.
Lynn duck please!
A single will do.
I'm going to beat my opponents with just my captain.

Hey guys, not sure what do this week. Still have two trades to use. I know Steve Smith isn't playing tomorrow so I might leave him so I can get Hales 44 off the bench. I have $16,600 Remaining. Any thoughts guys?
^Keep Smith and take the 44 I reckon.
Would go Hastings to Henriques and keep the other trade depending on how Henriques goes, if he kills it you can trade Marsh to a non-playing all rounder. Otherwise keep him on the field if Moises goes bang again.
Could do the same with Rose alternatively.
I give up, school starts next week, my team is doing showerty. cbf logging in again. Will defs be doing this next time though, was good. :)
Didn't realise there was a thread for this on FanFooty.
I'm actually doing quite well in this game. Overall ranking of 184 and drafted in Dwayne Bravo and made him captain this week for a lovely 262 points.
Aim will be to try crack the top 100.
How are others going?
I'm ranked 235th overall but doubt I'll still be that high with the week I'm having this week.

Did exactly the same Meph but instead made Bravo VC but then put C on Steve Smith. After a shocking week last week where I scored only 476 dropped to 213. Hoping to make my way up the ladder this week currently on 593 for the week with Katich (sub for Smith) and Bird to come.
Bird not playing tomorrow apparently
Now IDK what to do
Keep Bird and get O'Brien's 4 which means I'd go Wright > non-player and get Neser's 95 for a total of 99 points
Or do I trade Bird to somebody and hope Bowler + Wright can score more than 99 points
think I'll just take O'Brien and Neser's scores.

I'd trust a bowler + Wright to beat 99. :)

Probs not worth it though, would have to put 1 of them as captain I think which would ruin it. 50 each is a pretty big score, don't think I'd back them to score 50+ each either.
If the bowler got two wickets, that's 40 points. Add to that a possible ER bonus of 12 or 20 and you've got 50 points.
Luke Wright's an AR. If he scores nicely with bat and gets a 12 or 20 point SR bonus, you should get about 50 from him.
Then if you take into account the possibility of catches, there's like 12 points.
Okay, so that's probably optimism at its finest, but it's not impossible.

Wright only made 13 with the bat but has picked up a catch and runout. ;D
Had Clive Rose as cover for Jackson Bird after having him sit on my bench since the start doing nothing and he gives me a 71! :)

Traded Bird to Hogg for a great 20 points and what a time for him to put in his worst bowling performance. But I sippose can not complain ending with 668
Very good score Ringo
my score of 571 seems pretty damn good for someone who doesn't have Bravo this week. Just glad I didn't have to play you 3 weeks straight lol.
I'm too scared to look at my score.
Pleased with my score of 638 but disappointed to get a donut thanks to Arafat and McDermott not playing in the last round of games. Bravo as captain did the trick :)
Up to 76th overall now :)
Top 50 finish would be awesome.
What are people's plans for the finals?
Will await and see who is available before deciding on teams. What is departure date for SA will Aussie players be available for semi finals and finals. T20 finishes 2nd February and Semis start 4th February so assuming all T20 players are available. Ist Test starts in SA on 12th February but when do players leave as Final is 7th February.
For information I have climbed to 74 place with my 688 from last week so will also be hoping to get into top 50.
Scored a putrid 276 this week, overall ranking now back out to 489th.
I got so unlucky with my 50/50 calls this week - first I fielded Rimmington (12) over Richardson (59) on Wednesday night, then I had to choose between Hazelwood (44), Nannes (12) and Hogg (20) on who to trade out for a non-playing player to get Richardson's score.
Decided on trading Hazlewood. ::) Other 50/50 calls I got wrong was fielding Marsh (15) over Malik (34) and captaining Henriques (27) over Hales (44). So those calls really killed me this week.
Oh, I also didn't end up trading in Hodge who made 61. :(
Quote from: Adamant on January 22, 2014, 03:13:39 PM
Ok with Hughes out I'm thinking of going Hughes --> B. Hodge @ $53,100.

ODI and Test players should be available subject to those departing for South Africa. T20 finishes 2nd February and Semis start 4th February so assuming all T20 players are available. Ist Test starts in SA on 12th February but when do players leave as Final is 7th February and are they available for semi finals is the question.
Australia have a match against a South Africa invitational 11 on Feb 5-8.
This is the squad that's flying to South Africa on Wednesday January 29th but Henriques will fly out after playing in the 20/20 against England.
Test squad Michael Clarke (capt), Brad Haddin (vice-capt), Jackson Bird, Alex Doolan, Moises Henriques, Ryan Harris, Mitchell Johnson, Shaun Marsh, Nathan Lyon, James Pattinson, Chris Rogers, Peter Siddle, Steven Smith, David Warner, Shane Watson.
Henriques is replacing Faulkner and Marsh and Bird will remain in Australia under injury clouds.
So I doubt any of these guys will be available
Thanks for the info mate appreciated
Legend! Cheers mate!

i wouldn't think so as t20s aren't exactly a demanding game. As for must haves, I'd say a Hobart keeper (Dumk/Paine) And maybe Maxwell
Have had Dunk since round 2 and not been disappointed and he will be first picked. Luke Wright and Glen Maxwell look like being my all rounders with Henriques going to SA. Simon Katich also close to being a certainty and if Brad Hogg had not imploded in last game he would be close as well.

I'm not sure I like having both Maxwell and Wright in my team. Though they are the obvious choices. Hobart's bowling line-up is pretty decent though so maybe looking elsewhere could pay off.
Coulter-Nile should be available as well yeah? I really like him as a bowler but he's hard to fit in as he's so expensive.
PS - who takes Henriques' place in the Sixers team?
Gone Paine over Dunk at the moment but

One will go big but. Thats why if you have both it will pay off i reckon. Or risk getting 1 and the other one may go big. I went them both. Also dunk and Coulters as well.
How many are really paying attention to the next 2 rounds of BBL Fantasy with semifinals today and tomorrow and final on Friday. There are unlimited trades no head to head but results count for overall.
As I currently have a position of 74 think I may continue to try and get into top 50.
My team for semifinals
Bat: Smith (c) White (VC) Birt, Bailey, (Hodge)
A/R: Hastings, Maxwell (Marsh)
W/K Dunk (Paine)
Bowl: Laughlin, Hogg, Coulter-Nile, Starc (Boland)
Can't win overall, and did dismal in head to head, just playing for pride. Not sure which players to pick, especially the all-rounders...
The three Stars boys - Maxi, Duke and Wright have to be considered, but it's more or less a matter of which to leave out imo. :(
I'm thinking Wright.
I CAN'T MAKE THE TEAM I WANT WITHIN THE GODDAMN SALARY CAP. >:(
Nice lookin team. I am no chance to finish anywhere that high.
Backing Katich to get a big one and think that maybe Wade will outdo Dunk. Otherwise my team looks pretty much like yours.
Capt on Maxwell for me though

For information my team value is $1,208,300
Will be making a change in that Hodge may become Davis to take advantage of VC Loophole with Maxwell.
Made a mistake as well Wade is reserve keeper not Paine.
Few players went of the radar eg had Dunk from Round 1 when priced at $36k now $109k as an example others to show big gains are Steve Smith and NCN

Wow great pick up on dunk. Thats a top side. I reckon you could go top 20 over next 2 game weeks !!
My team is now...
Katich, White, Bopara, Bailey (North)
Maxwell, Hastings (O'Keefe)
Dunk (Handscomb)
Laughlin, Lee, NCN, Muirhead (Turner)

Going to give it a good shake as I'm just two spots behind you Ringo.
Don't have the salary cap that you do I'm afraid.
I'm going all out this week and have sacrificed my depth/bench players. Which could work in my favour with the loophole as I have a few to pick from.
Team:
Bat: White, Katich, Bailey, Bopara. (Maddinson)
All: Wright, Maxwell. (Keath).
WK: Paine (Handscomb)
Bwl: Coulter-Nile, Malinga, Laughlin, Starc (Copeland).
Who are people going for captain and vice-captain.
I'm thinking Maxwell for VC and then I'll loophole him if he goes well otherwise maybe Coulter-Nile.
I've captained Maxi and VC'd Dunk.
Having second thoughts though...
Team I have settled on for semifinals
Bat: Katich (c) White (VC) Birt, Bailey, (Davis) (Davis will be used for VC loophole if need be)
A/R: Hastings, Maxwell (Marsh)
W/K Dunk (Handscombe)
Bowl: Laughlin, Behrendorf, Coulter-Nile, Starc (Hogg)
Stars have won the toss and will bat.
Looks like no rolling lockout this round either, So I am stuffed with trying to work loophole.
Go Hurricanes.
I just had a nap from 1pm to right now
flower didn't change my team.
Didn't realise there were no rolling lockouts so now have a donut trying to use non-playing players for the loophole.
I gotta play bloody craig simmons if no rolling lockout :( Least i benched White in a plan to loophole him.

An extra game would just mean extra money for the league, could be scheduling issues though with international duties.
Team I have for semis is:
Katich, Hodge, Bopara, Bailey - Davis
Maxwell, M Marsh - Keath
Dunk - Triffitt
Hazlewood, Coulter-Nile, Laughlin, Malinga - Van Der Gugten
Didn't have a very big salary cap so bench players are all non-playing players to get a better starting side. Put the VC on Maxwell so am now thinking C on NCN or Katich.
No that scores have been updated will propbably end up with worse score of the season currently 236 from 7 with Katich (c) Coulter Nile, Behrendorf and Starc to come. (Hogg, Marsh and Simmons on bench)
Yeah, horrible round for me. I banked on the Stars going big.
So the C on Maxwell hurt, along with Wade and White both failing :(
232 with Katich, Coulter Nile, and Hazelwood to come
Couldnt understand how Maxwell didnt get a bowl after how well Muirhead and Boyce went and how shower his seamers were going.
So I accidentally have Simmons cos of no rolling lockout :P

So thats why you score is going up so quickly. Really hurting seeing that 121 on the bench with Cameron Whites six on the field.
Well played Simmons at least one trade I do not have to make for final game.

Unlimited trades though I would expect, what might be nice is the big $$ increase he will enjoy if you were to trade
Can understand ele so just letting you know I am supporting the Hurricanes although I was barracking for the Scorchers last night.
Despite my shocking score of 368 for the semifinals still managed to climb up to position 58 overall. So goal to get into top 50 is now realistic
Preliminary Team for final:
Bat: Bailey (c), Katich (VC) Simmons, Birt (Voges)
A/R: Malik, Mitch Marsh (Mascarenhaus)
W/K: Dunk (Paine)
Bowl: Laughlin, Behrendorf, Boyce, Couler-Nile (Hogg)
Comments welcome.
Well, not that it mean alot with all the outs etc, but here is the team I am going with, not going to have time this arvo for when teams annouced, but think I have covered the in/outs.
Bat : Katich (c), Birt, Marsh, Bailey - Cummins
A/R : Marsh, Mascarenhaus - Gulbis
W/K : Dunk (vc) - Paine
Bowl : Boyce, Cummins, Coulter-Nile, Doherty, Paris
With outs Malik becomes Gulbis and Mascarenhaus comes onto field ( Awaiting announcements of teams to finalise whether Gulbis, Cartwright or Armstrong)
Laughlin becomes Cummins
As you say SR does not mean much but trying to get into top 50 currently ranked 58

Is Laughlin not playing?? Cartwright and Armstrong both wont play. Turner should be an all rounder. But if MArsh plays turrner is out. Everyone basically will go M Marsh and Mascarenhaus....
Laughlin has a quad injury and is out. So i see most teams having at least 8 players common.

Can almost guarantee Armstrong wont play mate, lucky to be in the team at all after the antics with Triffett

and that fact that he sucks will also keep him out of the team. Hes not in the best 13 when team is all fit anyway.
Mitch Marsh and Dimi Mascarenhas for the ARs, Hilton Cartwright on the bench.
Hilfy..get around him..0 for 3 from 1.. 8)
Having Boyce... :'(
Did not quite make the Top 50 ended up at 52. Most teams would have been neraly identical anyway which would have made it hard get up.
In hindsight these bad decisions probably cost me:
Playing Boyce and leaving Hogg on the Bench.
Reversing one initial trade I made Katich to Saun Marsh - Head told me coming back from injury to take care but should have went with gut.
Nice work Ringo. Was getting very hard to climb any rank in last few weeks for sure..
52 is great.. I ended up sliding to 170 through a horror last month.. This was fun.!
Bring on the Footy now.
finally a good week with a 56th for the week, 510 overall not too bad
