Already on it tonite, does that count?

 

[Jiska]

Strikers 13:

Botha, Hodge, Head, Kingston, Laughlin, Lawford, Ludeman, Pollard, Richardson, Ross, Simmons, Tait, Zampa.

No sign of Dean, probably two choices to make between Head/Ross and Lawford/Kingston?? Or maybe Head and Ross will both play with Laughlin, Tait, Richardson, Zampa, Botha, Pollard sufficient bowling?

What I need to know is the batting order. I guarantee that the Stars will bat first so I can't make a call on whether to start Head on the ground.

Should get a fair idea when they name the final Xl, it will be in expected batting order.

Excellent. And when is that?

 

[fantasyunit]

Excellent. And when is that?

About half an hour before the first ball. Haha, that's a real problem with this game, so little teams information.

Oh boy. You've got a bit to learn. Didn't you pick anything up last year?

Don't worry about team structure and don't worry about getting the best players in, worry about the double rounds and byes. Ie. No scorchers in round 1 and no more than 3 stars players (get expensive ones) After round one, trade your three stars players for scorchers. In other words, use them as floaters.

Mmm, I don't think a Scorcher or two is the worst idea in Rd 1, if you can carry them through and trade in a few more you'll be super strong in Rd 2 and 5. 5 stars and 2 Scorchers to start for me.

5 stars 3 scorchers 3 sixers for me

...and a partridge in a pair tree?

It is xmas

Ho farking ho

 

[fantasyunit]

Going in like this:

Bailey, White, Lumb, Dussey (Head)
Faulkner (C), Henriques (Abbott)
Peirson (Whiteman)
Bird, Lee, Cummins, Beer (Bollinger)

Going with Bailey as a POD against Finch, almost definitely going to bite me in the arse. Other than that Head and Cummins are pretty much the only choices that have nothing to do with manipulating the schedule. Looking forward to injuries ruining those plans

 

[hoddo]

Pending final teams I'm going with:-

M.Hussey, C.White, M.Lumb, B.Hodge, (J.Wells)
L.Wright(vc), A.Turner(c), (M.Henriques)
B.Dunk, (C.Hartley)
J.Bird, B.Laughlin, B.Lee, D.Bollinger, (X.Doherty)

No idea if any of those are already injured.

 

[fantasyunit]

Stars: Write, Pietersen, White, Dussey, Maxwell, Faulkner, Triffitt, Hastings, Rose, Bird, Beer.

Whos Write?

 

[fantasyunit]

Whos Write?

Yerp. Wright/White thing? Other excuse. Derp.

 

[toxic]

White or maxwell as vc

Who'd have thought I'd be interested

 

[fantasyunit]

Hoping for Wright and KP to be gone in the first over and then White and Dussey to bat most of the innings before a maxy duck and faulkner blasting 30 off 10. Too much to ask?

 

[Juddy88]

Is there rolling lockout?

 

[fantasyunit]

Is there rolling lockout?

Yes.

 

[Jiska]

Head, Maddison, Lumb; pick two to start on the ground.

Happy for KP to go in the first over but I want Wright and White to bat out the innings.

 

[fantasyunit]

Final minute before lockout. Good luck everyone!
