I was "THIS" close to getting Wright instead of Afridi. That Pakistani bastard will be the death of my team in this game. I would have got Wright to then allow a bowling upgrade. But I might have chosen Faulkner on the park - in the end neither are on the park, both scored close to 100 and I'm stuck with Afridi who will probably tank another 15 or less. Bowlers are hard to gauge. Wouldn't really like to waste my money on any. So actually if I'd gone Wright I probably would have gone Wade for Triffitt. Not much harm done there.
Strikers v Sixers teams announced - Richardson & Blizzard back in for Strikers replacing Ferguson & Muirhead Am very surprised to see Salpietro getting another shot after being smashed against the Scorchers when Muirhead has managed to take wickets in both games he's played so far!!! I honestly think Berry is doing his best to sabotage the Strikers finals chances with rubbish selections like that!!! Anyway, tonights teams: Adelaide Strikers: Michael Klinger (c), Daniel Harris, Aiden Blizzard, Tom Cooper, Cameron Borgas, Adam Crosthwaite (wk), Aaron O'Brien, Alfonso Thomas, Brendan Drew, Kane Richardson, Daniel Salpietro, Callum Ferguson (12th) Sydney Sixers: Michael Lumb, Moises Henriques, Nic Maddinson, Steven Smith (c), Ben Rohrer, Dominic Thornely, Peter Nevill (wk), Nathan McCullum, Steve O'Keefe, Brett Lee, Stuart MacGill, Ian Moran (12th)
Doh of course I traded out Maddinson this round, was consistently scoring 50's on my bench then played him last round for a massive 15 then gave him the flick!
Who are these modern day Nostradamus' Jibrangers and Thunderstruck who both traded out Klinger?? Meanwhile I copped the other end of the stick I traded out Lee Edit: Beat me by one minute Thunder!
LOL haha I just wanted Hodge and trading Klinger was the only way i'd get him I traded Finch the week before when he failed as well. But then again I've been copping 0's all over the place Got Richo and Cooper...
I have Lee Also benched Cooper & playing Forrest this week after missing Forrest's 50 pts on the pine last game. Looking Ok but only 20 each for MacKay & Wade thus far! Afridi traded in this week for Botha & (C), shame Faulkner will miss a week or two with the finger surgery & of course his smashing 80 pts are on the pine, be a nice price increase but need Marsh to get 50 + to stop frowning! (Didn't know Botha was out last week & Faulkner could only manage 11 as a sub). NOTED he scores well when not needed #$%^!)
What?? I came on here to bloat about coulter-Nile and I learn that Gibbs isnt playing?? I only have copper on the bench! Oh well, possibility that the leader had klinger on the bench
Hooray, bringing in Coulter-Nile has paid off! Finally something in on the up for me (i'll ignore my batsmen mind ) Glad I picked Hodge over Gibbs now, hope he does something though
Thunder getting destroyed here. Amazed Perth has done well this competition, they had an average batting line up and an average bowling line up coming into this!
Lol damn this game, I had Coulter in my starting line up only to trade him to Richardson cos he wasn't playing and no idea of teams... Now Richardson has become a spud and Coulter is getting all the points. Also glad I picked Hodge over Gibbs xD
Can't take a trick in this competition, I kept Beer over Lee because the Thunder batting lineup is horrible as proven tonight, except he goes for 7 an over when the overall run rate is under 5 and doesn't even look like getting a wicket!
NCN even got 2 run outs to make it a century in the fantasy department, hopefully that's enough to get you close to the top Thunder!
