Nannes hilly north Bailey and Collin wood all in the gun!! Bowling options looking pretty thin though - any suggestions on who might be ready to fire??
I'd think the Renegades would bring Nannes back, they seemed to struggle for the 3rd pacer with Razzaq and McDonald maybe even costing them the game Bowlers are very inconsistent as getting wickets is often a matter of luck in T20 Maybe get Richardson? He looks like a good rookie in his two outings
I'm hoping Nannes is back and also that Heal gets a bowl! If so, would allow me to make my second trade either bringing in Birt or changing Butters.
Need some suggestions on what to do with Nannes, Finch (is he even playing?) and Afridi. Will the Renegades start hitting some form, or should I trade them out for cash and chase last weeks points? One problem is we have no idea how prices will fluctuate, it's possible Afridi loses like 30k and I miss out on a 30k price rise from Richardson, who knows? Lack of information is killing me argh!
Well, pulled the pin on Cam White to bring in Birt and replaced Hilfy with McKay - hopefully that keeps my good scores rolling for another round!!!
Does anyone know if Christian will play in Brisbane's next game or is he stuck in Melbourne for the test?
I went with Nannes to Beer (the left arm spinners seem to be scoring well Doherty/O'Brien/Heal) which gave me enough for Lynn to Birt (on field). Was tempted to go with Quiney/Richardson/Starc as good cash cows but ended up thinking that the tournament is too short for that to matter too much, I guess we will soon find out. Kept Afridi hoping he will hit form, and hoping Naved won't go up too much - might have to get Vettori over him if he is due back soon. And hopefully Botha goes back to SA
Happy with the late switch of C to Dave Hussey 2-25 at 6.25, means he gets a lazy 52 with the ball! Hopefully he makes a few runs with the bat and gets to 100 edit: I forgot the catch!
I think he may double up with 32 points for the caught and bowled too. Used to Wades failures now, at least he got 2 run outs.
FFS can't take a trick with the captaincy. Move it to Hussey off Gayle, the West Indian gets a century, I move it back to him, Huss gets 130! UGH!
Currently 620 with Nannes & Finch to play. Had look around my 5 leagues and clearly 100 points clear of any other team!! No doubt i wont win weekly but it should help my overall ranking abit...
Nice score SKT, looks like you'll easily beat my 634 from last week. As for this week, it's been a bit of a struggle for my team, but hopefully Captain Gayle & Andy McDonald can drag me past my 5 opponents to keep me in the W column. And for all those out there who gave up on Butterworth, he's getting a run this evening at the expense of Bollinger according to latest reports.
Does anyone know why McCullum didn't play? I went for a risk putting the C on him. At least I get Triffits points and now the captain is back on Gayle.
Pretty sure McCullum has T20 commitments in NZ they said, not sure for how long? Gayle captain again, hope he can get close to Hussey's score. Also Afridi, time to repay the faith!
I wonder if Afridi will score me another double zero as captain. I forgot about my team this week from lack of enthusiasm.
I was 569 with four to play, but now I have a 0 from Bollinger and Hazlewood not playing I'll get my highest score though with Gayle, Finch and Razzaq left

Good, he's got at least 52 so far and Hopes didn't play so I get some extra points \\o/ Munching a Heal donut again
After a solid start by Finch (41 off 34) & Hodge (44 off 31), Renegades crumbled to 8/140 off their 20 after some good bowling by Sean Abbott (2/21 off 4 plus a run out). Afridi could only manage 16 off 14, and Razzaq 13 off 13. Butterworth took 2/27 off 4 in his first appearance in the BBL
