2021/22 New Zealand First-Class Season Draft

[straw man]

Might as well be reactive and pick up Wiggins as my 10th.

Going to take a punt on D Phillips replacing McConchie in the six.

Williamson
Nicholls
D Phillips
Jamie Gibson (Wellington)
Rae
Rance

Guptill
McConchie
Ferns
Wiggins (R2 onwards)

I had seriously contemplated having Muller in my 6. ffs.

 

[Kippax]

Canterbury (in place of ND) are now going to play Wellington at the Basin in R2.

Sears either advancing his career a lot by intimidating Latham and Nicholls, or getting a reminder he's still far too ectomorphic and won't be in KW's plans until less scrawny, will be on the cards.

I'll release Ben Horne and replace him with Sean Davey btw. Horne not in my core six or top two reserves. If you've got an Auckland/ND player who's third or fourth reserve, you can do the same.

 

[vandem]

Wheeler for Hampton (reserve 3) please. Feels wrong to only have one ND player but I don't think they will get 8 FC games this summer. And with Field + Wheeler + Clarkson in my reserves at least one of them will play each week.

 

[Athlai]

Do I get a sub for Taylor? If so is it Neesham cos he's like for like? Or Newton that actually played.

I've also cursed Bhula and Santa IIRC.

 

[Kippax]

It's just the highest bench player active in first-class play who becomes the sub. Newton did sub in for Taylor and collected 85 points.

 

[Athlai]

Woohoo

 

[Kippax]

Yes, for now the table has the rarest of looks to it. A big towering yellow bar.

 

[Athlai]

How on earth are you - 226

 

[Kippax]

I did what Royal Challengers Bangalore did. Paid too much for Kyle Jamieson.

 

[Chewie]

what's the link to the spreadsheet?

I had completely forgotten the bidding

 

[vandem]

Athlai and I went very low on the bidding. Means that I have a team of domestic players, so my early points will look good, but I won't be getting any (many) points from tests.

Hoping the Boss has a huge summer personally.

 

[straw man]

Michael Rae injured or dropped? Noticed he only bowled a handful of overs last match.

 

[Kippax]

A minor hamstring strain. 7-10 days rest.

 

[Kippax]

Just as well NZT's strength is predominantly in his openers, Latham and Kelly!

If he'd just forgiven Nathan Smith for moving to Wellington and grabbed him really early (instead of Doug Bracewell) he'd be in with a great shout this season.

 

[straw man]

Williamson
Nicholls - 97 & DNB
D Phillips - 14 out of 642
J Gibson - 18

McConchie - 4 out of 379 and DNB
Wiggins - 0 and 15

That's some hot garbage batting except for Nicholls.
