Recovering from injury. Expecting to play in some matches.

ok, thanks... some hope then?

I'd have probably left him in my team, because I have a habit of catching a cold when I leave injured players out of my original squad. Last year I took an injured Bresnan out of my side, and he made a faster than expected recovery and came back an made a really big FL score.... much bigger than the person I replaced him with. Exactly the same thing happened when I took Mullaney out of my team this year

of course... the one time I don't do it, that player will probably miss the entire comp

He is eyeing for ODI comeback in Aussie squad. So i guess he will have to prove his fitness first in at least few matches in domestic tournament. I was not aware that he was recovering, else i would not have picked him in my FL. So a bad selection imo. If he misses couple of matches then it is fine because he is the sort of player who can cover up points. He is named as Stars captain though for BBL.

the way this year has gone, this might be the only time I hit the top so I'd better enjoy it while I can

Lucy Doolan hasn't exactly got off to the flyer that I was hoping for

needs to buck his ideas up

Not sure about that - your team looks pretty strong. I went with Klinger and some left field selections, which may well cost me

Lucy Doolan continues to underwhelm for Tassie
