BBL|06: Official and SuperCoach Fantasy Discussion

[fanTCfool]

Official BBL Fantasy has a competitor, by the form of Herald Sun :o

Australia's number 1 fantasy game brings you BBL this season

Herald Sun SuperCoach BBL
Coach your SuperCoach BBL team to victory and share in another awesome prize pool


$10,000 grand prize, Top 10 win
The 2016-17 SuperCoach winner walks away with $10,000 in cash! Plus, $2,000 for second place, and $1,000 for 3rd-10th. The top-scoring coach in every round gets an autographed cricket bat.

Yeah I got this email a while back and signed up, it's a lot like BBL Fantasy back a few years where there were still All Rounders.
The scoring system is also a little different, no SR bonus for batsman, but rather a bonus for the difference between Runs and Balls faced, for example 36 (20) = 16 bonus points.

866196 for the Heraldsun version, which I prefer personally. Plus it's linked with our SC accounts.

So how are peoples teams shaping up? Here's what I have so far

Finch, Head, Bailey, Burns, White (Stoinis, Heazlett)
Paine (Whiteman)
Watson, Johnson, Rimmington, Cummins, Mennie (Faulkner, Turner)

Thoughts? Just the 5 Koalas in the team, probs not enough :P

Im also still after a good team name, so if anyone considers themselves particularly punny give us a suggestion. Will share some of the prize money I win.

HOW IS BEN DUNK A KEEPER AND ALEX CAREY A BAT IT MAKES NO SENSE

Confirmed to miss a few games. Unlikely to be fit for selection until after Christmas. Might not even play until New Year.

Watto? injured? well I never

I wonder if he asked the doc to review his diagnosis.

A few things if I may AK,

Lynn - Racing against time to be fit and will not have any match practice whatsoever. Select with caution
Roy - Very few Englishmen have done well here but could be a great POD
Watson - Injured
Handscomb - National Duties will most likely prevent him from taking part.
Rashid - Very likely to not feature due to international duties as well.
Mennie - Hasnt had the best t20 career but with a point to prove could be a very handy POD.

Love a few of the selections too mate. :)

Did someone say review?

Nice Team AK! Agree with Koop on those points though. Here's mine:

Bailey, Bell, Sanga, White (Carey)
Russell, Head (Wildermuth)
Haddin (Doran)
Dorf, Narine, Broad, Badree (Cummins)

I've got 121k to play with and I really don't know what to do. Upgrade Broad? I have faith in the spinners and Broad isn't really great on Aussie pitches.

I'm going to have a crack due to the prize money even though I know sweet FA about cricket.  Rate me fellas, I've gone super cheap at this stage with 448K in the bank.

Roy, Burns, Hughes, Blizzard (Sangakarra)
Head, Marsh (Faulkner)
Haddin (Dunk)
Johnson, Badree, Cummins, Sandhu (Fekete)

:D

So this is for the SuperCoach competition rather than the 'Cricket Australia' competition?
We almost need a separate thread for each now  :-\
