Forrest? You'd be flowering brave to touch Forrest with a 10 foot pole.

Given the Stars pace options and McKay being generally out of favour and not as good as he was, can't see him getting a look.

The rest could be value picks.

Haha, I certainly don't agree with the Forrest pick myself mate, I've never been a fan of the man.

And it will be interesting to see if McKay does get picked. I think he should be in the side, his changes of pace are very useful in the short game.

Who remembers whether the players with a bye get locked out at the start of the the round or at the end?

Would like to know this as well. Pretty sure they got locked out at the end of the round last year?

[Nige]

Don't remember myself tbh.

[PowerBug]

My thoughts were at the end as well yeah. The rules are happy to say that players with DGW get locked out on the first game, but nothing on the bye players...

Since it says players get locked out when their real match starts, one would assume they don't get locked out, but I'll ask just for clarification. I may or may not be planning loopholes ;)


Is Tom Triffit the Stars only keeper?

Cant believe this starts tomorrow already!

Who are the locks?

Yep, since Wade left and Handscomb got injured.

Wouldn't touch Triffitt though, won't bat high enough which means you'd be relying on him purely to get point while fielding.

Caught behinds are a rarity. maybe odd run outs too. But hartley better option!

Only just getting to my team now, hoping to back up my great last season. :)

Saw forrest and laughed. Couldnt score at a decent rate in odi's let alone t20's.

Can someone give me a rundown of the locks and why? Got a team together but don't know f Im missing someone glaringly obvious. Been a bit out of it.
