Two bits of information from the last few days. - Matthew Wade batted at 4 in the Hurricane's practice match against the Thunder the other day. Doolan & Short opened.- Jackson Bird has been released from the Test team for the Sydney Smash, could be a bench option now.
I have played previously but have joined a super competitive comp this year and would appreciate some feedback on my team please.Batters:Finch, Mccullum, head, Pierson, Blizzard (Wiley, Carey)Keepers:Butler (Inglis)Bowlers:Watson, Maxwell, McClenaghan, Faulkner, Bird (Paris, Valente)$33.5k left in the bank.Notes on a couple of my selections:Blizzard - if he opens the batting at that price it’s a no brainer plus the DG in round 1. If he doesn’t open then I’ll look at other optionsMcClenaghan - good value and should be thunders number 1 bowler this season. T20 specialist. Plus has the DG in round 1.Faulkner - backing him in to get back to his best Valente - but risky but think he is a chance with the heat not having a lot of choice after cutting and Steketee
