having 6 players playing today has helped Stands somewhat.

Odin the all father

I have no funsize mars bars because I'm on a NY diet, so you may have to pester Alviro or Arthur

[hopeforthebest]

think we've all got players missing from our XIs so no point moaning about it really

i've had coulter-nile and hastings who haven't even played a game, as well as the injury to russell and a couple now away for the internationals, so down to 6 active players

and finch who i left out because i expected him to be on international duty has been dropped

That's clever telling us not to moan and then going on to moan yourself.

thats clever, missing the point of me showing that i am missing players too, to show that the people moaning are not the only ones not having a full XI

[meninblue]

I deliberately avoided selecting Aus and Eng internationals, so the only absentees I have are injuries to.... well.... WI T20 specialists.

I'm still in the mix, but behind those with the top performing Aussie call ups, so I'm hoping this strategy will stand me in good stead. I confess the form of Vera, MM, and Cummings was beginning to worry me, less so the big show ponce, Faulkner and Head.

In previous Big Bash, players in Australian ODI 11 have played Big Bash matches on rest days. I hope it is same this year. Not all matches will be missed.

[Durhamfootman]

don't say that Adi.... that would upset my strategy

[Durhamfootman]

Maybe just the players who don't make the starting XI, perhaps?

[meninblue]

Even those in playing 11 have played matches in rest days. Some were even allowed to play Big Bash even if it clashed ODI. I cant remember the names. If Ausssies are 2-0 ahead we can expect Warner or Usman or Max to play in Big Bash. I think they will have not kept the semis or finals of Big Bash such that they clash with ODI.

[Durhamfootman]

I guess we'll find out.

of the toppers who have Aus or Eng ODI players who might miss games

FTS has Maxwell, Lynn and Head
Adi and bhave have Lynn
ntini has Maxwell, Faulkner and Cummins
BN has Head and Lynn
AP has Jordan, Lynn and Maxwell
Rich and his one good eye has Head and Lynn

I have none.......... so I'm hopeful of clawing my way up the rankings

[Durhamfootman]

actually, the form of MM (445 pts) has been a concern to me, but now that I look, only GJ has him, so it appears I was worrying unduly.

The big winners are ntini and FTS who won't now be losing Aaron Finch (359 pts)............... and perhaps AP, because Ben Dunk (412pts) has slipped under CA's radar.

my problem is that 3 of my 4 WI players are out injured, but that is ameliorated by all the toppers having Kurt Russell (180pts), only FTS and AP not having the dancing man (157pts), and the injury to Badders (225pts), who most toppers don't have, seemingly minor (if the interview with Brad Hodge is anything to go by).

That part of your post clearly states no one had no right to bemoan missing players, why not? Bemoaning poor performances, injuries etc. has been used by almost everyone over the years. In my case missing 4 players so early in the FL is worthy of a moan.

Not last year they didn't, otherwise I would have won the title.
