Can I pick pope

The main problem with that will be lack of Shield play to activate your bench, and you've already got Stokes to cover for Latham and Young.

 

[Kippax]

Actually the Shield may be back on by the second Test. Best to check.

 

[Kippax]

Oh I did also say in rules one import only, didn't I. Pick someone else Chewie.

 

[Kippax]

@straw man for two turns.

Oh right. I'll pass

Think I will rearrange my team to bring in stokes and sneddon for georgeson and Sodhi and move georgeson above L Carter so that he's the replacement for Fletcher (though hopefully Fletcher recovers by next round). Presume no news on rance playing

Rance relishing rep return - Wairarapa Times-Age

Seth Rance will be available for Wairarapa for the first two rounds of the Furlong Cup. PHOTOS/FILE Veteran medium-fast bowler Seth Rance is relishing the chance to play some club and representative cricket in a delayed start to his season with the Central Stags. The former Black Cap decided...

“I haven’t retired from four-day cricket, but the best option for me moving forward was to make sure I am 100 per cent fit for white ball cricket,” Rance said.

“In the past, I’ve gone into the season and played the four-dayers and not been at 100 per cent for those games.

“It’s also for a bit more family balance, so my season starts a lot later, and it’s allowed me over the winter not to be training fulltime and gives me a bit more time at home with the family,” the father of three young children said.

 

[Chewie]

Interesting, so he might actually play in the next round. But it would be a risk if I put him in my XI cos I presume he wouldn't qualify for a replacement if he didn't play

 

[Kippax]

Unavailable for personal reasons will activate the bench.

 

[straw man]

@straw man for two turns.

Guess I'll take some Englisher as noone on my bench even looks like earning any points. Also unsure of the injury status of some e.g. Bairstow, and whether Broaderson will be available.

Can I please have O Robinson as my first reserve?

 

[Kippax]

Yes. Dropping two of the unhelpful bench players now and replacing them with emerging names late in the season is another thing you can do here.

 

[Kippax]

My move is Daryl Mitchell in, Tim Robinson Nuttall benched.

XI and bench for now (locks on 26/12):

Conway
Bowes
Raval
Foxcroft
Mitchell
Cumming
Robinson
Rippon
Shipley
Wagner
Tickner

Dudding
Nuttall
M Hay
ter Braak
M Boyle (B3)


@ataraxia

 

[ataraxia]

I'll pass, I guess

@vandem

 

[vandem]

Pass again. Might do a starting XI / bench reshuffle closer to Christmas.

@Flem274*

 

[Kippax]

I'm keen for all six of Mitchell's Tests to count and collect points for me, so after rereading my own rules, I can't actually release Robinson. Nuttall is benched.

 

[Kippax]

I'll make Boxing Day the point where a starting XI and bench order locks again.

Final lock from Braai:

 

[ataraxia]

Curtis Heaphy replaces Dale Phillips at #3.

Reordering the bench to:

B Smith
Parkes
D Phillips
Lennox
Newton
Milne

 

[vandem]

Katene Clarke to bench, in comes Tim Pringle. Yes I realise that there is a risk of losing someone's score if one if the all rounders doesn't make enough runs.
1 W O'Donnell
2 J Carter
3 H Nicholls
4 R O'Donnell
5 Z Foulkes
6 N Smith (is in the 11 for today's Super Smash)
7 M Chu +
8 Kristian Clarke
9 T Pringle
10 J Walker
11 W O'Rourke

r1 A Ashok
r2 Katene Clarke
r3 A Hazeldine
r4 B Wheeler-Greenall (b3)
r5 D Ferns

Now that Sodhi has been selected for the Pakistan test squad, not sure if I should replace him after all hmmm

Maybe there'll be some news tomorrow as to whether he'll be playing so I'll do the Stokes change for now, but will hold on the Sodhi one

I'll swap sneddon in for sodhi
