BBL BBL 25/26

[SpecialBruce]

Honestly thinking of starting with Rizwan and setting and forgetting. He will be the best scoring wicket-keeper. It just means a sacrifice needs to be made elsewhere.

 

[ExchangeStatMan]

Neser is definitely a non-starter tommorow.

Neser is definitely a non-starter tommorow.

Their XI no particular order

McSweeney, Afridi, Bartlett, Bryant, Dooley, Munro, Patterson, Peirson, Renshaw, Weibgen, Wildermuth

Is it worth bringing in Patterson? When Kuhnemann comes back, Dooley goes out. Patterson looks safe. Might start him instead of Kuhn ahead of the round two double. Clears up cap space for big moves after round 1.

I dont know too much about Patterson. From somewhere I saw online:



Playing down in Geelong, Id imagine you'd still want a spinner of some sort , despite most of the wickets in last years opener falling to pace.

who do people have the vc on for tonight? toss up between dwarshius and jedwards for me

Bit of food for thought in terms of VC tonight. Sixers last scoring at the Perth Stadium in in Jan 2024. Edwards got belted out of the park that day. Scoring:




One of the team sheets, early preview saw:



With Richardson unlikely to play, gathering they may go for Stobo. With no Abbott in that team, overs probably go something along the lines of:

Dwarshuis 4 Overs
Edwards 4 Overs
Perry 3 Overs
Kerr 2-3 Overs
Murphy 2-3 Overs
Stobo 2-3 Overs

A bit of uncertainty in terms of allocation of overs for the last 3 but I could see a world where the last 3 in particular don't get more than 3 overs.

 

[Thunderstruck]

There a lot of thunderstorms developing north of Perth atm full of bolts streaming down so keep that in mind when picking sides.

 

[Plugger35]

A great time for Perth to get some Sydney style weather with thunderstorms and rain but hopefully it should blow over quickly.

 

[Atavistic]

Cricinfo says rain at the ground now. Hope it's over soon.

 

[SpecialBruce]

See how it goes but might be time to ditch a few sixers and prepare for next weeks bye round

 

[UnknownPlayer]

well this is fun

chaos

 

[Plugger35]

Some early BBL SC carnage with this weather.

See how it goes but might be time to ditch a few sixers and prepare for next weeks bye round

I was worried one of the Sixers games might be rain affected but I thought that would be the Sydney game not the Perth game.

I currently have 5 Sixers players in my starting team and 2 Scorchers players, it might be time to start ditching some of them.

 

[UnknownPlayer]

I'm stashing Haardie but ditching everyone else

And loading up a bit more on Heat, Thunder & Stars

 

[Atavistic]

I don't think ch7 mentioned the weather once yet.

 

[Macka1203]

gonna turf azam hardie and jedwards , keep phillippe and dwarshius.

 

[SpecialBruce]

I have changed Azam to Warner and Dhwarshius to Afridi.

Gotta find the right Hurricane to VC

 

[Atavistic]

I left one 6ers player in my team for VC.

 

[ExchangeStatMan]

Yep Ive dumped a few Sixers in the last minute here as well.....

 

[SpecialBruce]

I left one 6ers player in my team for VC.

If we get a match then I will do the same.

 

[Plugger35]

I ditched my two Scorchers starting players Connolly and Hardie for Warner and Bryant, still got all my Sixers players though.

It looks like the rain has stopped now so they should hopefully get a game in tonight even if it's just a rain reduced game.

 

[Macka1203]

lol every season at least once we get a rain delay on the first game of a week, causing the chaos when the lockout time doesn’t change

 

[Oscarman]

Players locked already?

Players locked already?

Sadly, it might be a good thing for anyone who hasn't made a team yet.


Lock out really should occur before the 1st ball is bowled.

Yeah it sucks when you have spent ages (well a few hours) working on your team and then rain throws your plans into chaos.

The lockout time not changing when a match gets delayed by rain makes it worse as you don't know whether to trade or not.

 

[ExchangeStatMan]

Its a 11-an-over game.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Another year of pain. Culled a couple of Sixers just have Philippe and Dwarshuis, moved Marsh to bench and got an extra Heat and Thunder player.

 

[Macka1203]

Its a 11-an-over game.

will take that honestly, still a chance for dwarsh to take a few poles as it should be swinging round corners, plus philippe will hopefully open so no effect there.
