So by my count, which is completely different to what the site says, because of all my loopholing, I have 592 points with the following players remaining: K. Pietersen (x2), D. Hussey, B.Hilfenhaus, N.Hauritz. If Dave Hussey spuds tomorrow then I will leave Mike Hussey in my side and use his score instead (Dave is on my bench atm, will trade a Scorcher in if Dave scores well)


Edit: Still deciding on my bowlers. Changed it to Doherty and Steketee. I'll find something I like, it also needs to be something that can work for my 3 trades that I will use throughout next round.

Went with Doherty... Damn

So 654 with Mike Hussey and Mark Steketee to play. If they get me over 700 I'll be happy. Currently got 6 players with a DGW next round as well, might raise that to 7 with trades.

Needing to do some last trading to get a zero in my bowlers will Paris play for Perth?

He didn't play in their warm up game.
Think he may be injured...

Well I have 1 batsman I need to play, I currently have Forrest because I had Hussey on the bench so I am not going to loophole his score and Behrendorf as a bowler so I get Laughlins score?

I would like a better batsman because I don't think Forrest can score 18, so which Bowler do I swap Behrendorf to get a zero but needs to be okay for next round

If you are wanting cheaper than Behrendorf, you could try Hogg or Tye.

434 with Cummins and Hartley to come

Where do you expect Forrest to bat? If he plays

Don't touch Forrest. 

Forrest will bat between 6 and 8. Don' think about picking him.

I have no money all I can get is basement players if I keep Behrendorf or I pick a non playing player and keep Hussey's 19

Thanks PB that helps alot, I must have missed the KP news :/ Now I have to re think trades

[Sweetness]

Will be interesting to see where Hartley and Pierson bat tonight.

Thinking Pierson may be a better chance of opening at this stage.

[My Chumps]

Why does it say all my players have scored 0 points?

You need to go to "Match Centre".
I would hazard a guess you are still in the "Team" page.

I was pondering this as well. With Khawaja out I would've thought Hartley is a good chance to open with Kallis?

[R.Griffen]

I think Kallis will come in at 3 or 4 he hasn't played a lot of cricket and can someone tell me apparently he won't be bowling according to a DTTalk article?
