At this stage I'm thinking....

Finch > S March
Rimmington > Coulter-Nile

which will leave me 122k for upgrades

Finch has the bye, then ODI duties so adios, thanks for the points. Rimmo, you have the bye also as well as costing me a league win so you can **** right off! Hopefully S Marsh & C-Nile will do better than my Sixers ring ins for their double header this round before they are also off on ODI duties.

My trades this week are like this.

Finch > Lumb
Rimmington > Coulter-Nile

Hoping to climb the overall rankings even more this week.

Currently 386 overall after scoring 837 for the week.

Looks like I'm not too bad at this game afterall and my AFL Supercoach skills are crossing over to cricket Supercoach.

In all honesty I never thought I'd be going this well mate.

I do know about cricket and love watching the Aussies, etc but my knowledge of the domestic players in the big bash was kinda limited to the ones that have had exposure playing with the Aussie test, 50 over or 20/20 sides.

I had heard of a few other names but that's about it.

Have been watching every big bash game though with interest so have been quickly learning who all the players are and whose worth having in my team.

And of course I love to trade so even after an initial bad selecton or 2 in my round 1 team I have been able to trade myself out of trouble every week which is where I excel in.

Rd 5 likely starting team. Maddinson better find some form and stop trying to pull bowlers going @ 150km's in the first over.

(Maddinson Emergency for Bopara who is not available)

I might be wrong, but I think he was in the Aus 5th test squad

I'm in the same boat, 95k or something in the bank. Can't spend my cash quick enough.

Well. When you trade out Finch for 135k, hard to spend it on a replacement..

 

[Judd_Magic]

I have $64,500 in the kitty.

Trying to build up my cash now.

I have a floating Bowler and a floating Batter. Each week I trade them out for two people from the team that's playing twice.

Hope everyone has planned in advance for no Strikers or Heat players in the same round. Two byes in one round is annoying. Why have byes and double's anyway? Surely they can work out an 8-team draw where everyone plays once a round.

I'm building a war chest for Rd's 9 & 10. Unlimited trades for the Semis and Final. Obviously not as many teams to choose from in those games, I want to make sure I have all the best available. Doesn't help with league as that finishes after Rd8, but if you're wthin the top 200-300 at that stage having 100k+ in the bank goes a long way towards having a crack at overall.

Rd6 Scorchers & Strikers have the Bye (Hurricanes & Thunder play twice)
Rd7 Strikers play twice (Thunder Bye)

NO Byes for Heat. They play once every round.
