Damn, wanted Holland. Cameron Boyce then.

Boyce is actually a damn good pick for pick 10. Won't be surprised at all if you find him providing much more than some earlier picks.

Yeah, I was amazed he lasted so long tbh. Australian white-ball rep, so he can't be that much of a shunt in this, surely.

Continuing the Queensland theme, I'll go for Simon Milenko.

Yeah, I was amazed he lasted so long tbh. Australian white-ball rep, so he can't be that much of a shunt in this, surely.

Continuing the Queensland theme, I'll go for Simon Milenko.

I picked Zampa 31st pick while Boyce fell to 66th (and chosen 69th). Main reason for my reasonably early Zamp pick was his ability to make useful runs in the lower order. Clint McKay 63rd pick was also very late. I messed up my round 7 pick the most. I think I was too focused on picking a player from each team and was thinking we'd maybe include the Test players so was sort of getting it out of the way.

Strong. Only problem might be Dougeh and Milenko missing out on game time, but you have plenty of bowlers who you'd expect to pick up wickets and a pretty strong top order. Shame n000fers rates your gloveman though. Sure sign he's rubbish.

My theory with (Qua)Luudes is that he has the ability to make 25 (20) at the back end of a dire SA innings regularly, so will hopefully accumulate SR points for me, alongside his WK dismissal points. Though that's contingent upon SA bowlers creating chances. Milenko was a similar pick -- struck at a very high SR last year and took pretty cheap poles, so he looks good statistically and will hopefully rate well in this points system

Stacked with bowling options in true NSW style to maximise points received. Also holy **** there's a lack of batsmen in this comp -- I originally wanted Ludes at 8, but with the Test guys coming back we've simply run out of batsmen who are still in the actual squads.

Dougeh better get game time. Will abuse ****s at Bankstown Oval if he doesn't play

 

[adub]

Clint McKay 63rd pick was also very late.

With Siddle and Maxy back I think McKay might be one of the guys who is a surprise to miss a game. With Siddle, Patto, Hastings, Stoinis, Christian, Holland, Maxwell and White in the side I struggle to get McKay to fit.

Fact is Boland is about the only guy for the Vics I think you can be certain won't play game 1. Good squad.

Yeah, Ludes is fine. Just poking n00fers.

Was really really tempted to pick Milenko myself, but in the end I punted that my picks 10 & 11 had more chance of getting a game.

****s at Bankstown are gonna get abused then I fear. Much as I love me some Dougeh I reckon with Starceh in they'll go for Ab0000tt and/or Guru over him and play both spinners. Like the Vics it's hard to see who other than Patterson is sure to miss, but Dougeh would be long odds to play with maybe Guru or even Nev as the other to miss out I reckon.

 

[Red]

Assuming the test returnees are still unavailable for the final two rounds?

 

[Dan]

Yeah, no Test players whatsoever. Squads as named in the OP.

Its NSW; they might just play 'em all

1. Steve Smith, (9)
2. Shane Watson (8)
3. Moises Henriques, (7)
4. Ryan Carters + back up
5. Peter Nevill +
6. Sean Abbott (6)
7. Steve O’Keefe (4)
8. Mitchell Starc (1)
9. Gurinder Sandhu (3)
10. Nathan Lyon (5)
11. Doug Bollinger (2)

? A very NSW line up.

 

[Dan]

Nev opens, Smitteh to 3 in that line-up

 

[NUFAN]

Howe has just over 4 hours to go and then Prince and we've done 11 rounds. Doesn't look like we are going to get through 13 before the first ball. What do you think we should do?

I was thinking at the end of round 11 we just have 1 hour per pick, **** for people who don't have access all of the time, but it just speeds up the process.

Yeah, either this or just don't let people pick players who have already played when they make their pick.

 

[adub]

There's hardly anyone worth having left. I don't mind 1 hr per pick after PEWS because frankly we're down to the dregs anyway so if I miss out no tears.
