Whiteman bats a bit too low for my liking, that's the only reason I wouldn't pick him.

[Nige]

He batted at like 4 last Big Bash iirc, but I could be wrong.

Need to work out rough team XIs.

I wouldn't touch Matty Wade, plus I think Peter Nevill will keep for the Gades but he bats low too.

Dunno much about Peirson.

Ryan Carters bats too low to be considered as well.

Looks like I might have to fork out the cash for Dunk.

Sit him on the bench if Pierson/Hartley open the batting.
Only play him when he has a DGW.

[Nige]

Does Pierson open?

I can't see Hartley opening.

Does Pierson open?

I can't see Hartley opening.

Pretty sure they both will open.
If it wasn't for Kieswetter I would have locked and loaded both of them (still might)

Have a new league, please feel free to join and take me on ;)

[JBs-Hawks]

Love the inclusions of Laughlin, Hodge and Simmons for the strikers. Really rate Laughlin as one of the best t20 bowlers in the country.

[PowerBug]

Hussey, Kallis, Khawaja, Morgan, Nannes. The Thunder are keen to not finish bottom this season.

[elephants]

Finally getting around to this!

Making a side based on this thread and a couple of other sites :p

[The_Captain]

Gotta have hartley.. but hes only good for the pine. Need a premo keeper to field... Someone like a Paine or Dunk...

[elephants]

No love for KP in here??

[elephants]

Alright, first crack. Little bit unique I think.

Finch, Pieterson, Hales, Maddinson (Head)
Wright, Henriques (Turner)
Hartley (Peirson)
Rimmington, Badree, Bollinger, Doherty (Paris)

Roughly 100k in the bank to splash on the bowlers probably, thoughts?

[Adamant]

No love for KP in here??

He'll be in my side if Beer isn't named for round one (want at least three Stars for their DGW round one).

I reckon he'd be a lot more popular if there wasn't so much value to be had in the batsmen this year.
