If anyone works out what the *** means next to a player's name, please share. I'm stumped haha.

Was next to Fevola a couple of years ago in DT iirc. Also just went to look at the NRL DT and it had it next to Paul Gallen (ASADA problems?). Think it probably means they won't play. Who is it next to?

Yeah, means they won't take any part in the competition.

So it's probably not a good thing if I have 3 of these guys in my team at the moment :(

Get 'em outta there!



Just turfed Badree for Dougie, quite bullish about that one.

Cutting won't bat high enough to warrant an allrounders spot, ditch him.

Vettori will miss the first game iirc, better picks elsewhere.

McKay's not a good pick at all, steer clear.

- Yasir Arafat, Michael Carberry, Michael Lumb, Dwayne Smith, Jacques Kallis, Eoin Morgan, Johan Botha, Andrew Flintoff, Alex Hales, Darren Sammy, Luke Wright, Kevin Pietersen available for entire competition
- Kieron Pollard, Daniel Vettori, Dwayne Bravo, Andre Russell temporarily available for selection

I thought Smith, Morgan and Sammy were only available for the first 4 games? Could be wrong.

Read somewhere Vettori would miss the first game.

McKay isn't in the Stars 13 man squad for tomorrow, so I wouldn't pick him. Also don't pick Vettori, better value than him. Also wouldn't pick Boyce. Can't see Hobart playing him and Doherty.

Cutting bats too far down the order to justify selecting him as an allrounder.

I think you've spent too much of your bowlers and not enough on your batsmen. Bowlers score a lot better than batsmen, as 1 wicket is 20 points, so spend more on batsmen and less on bowlers.

Dwayne Smith doesn't appear to be available for selection at all now, but I can't find anything about him other than an article dated today saying he will be a good pickup ::)

Better, except for the fact that Hazlewood won't play because he's in the test squad.

Hazlewood is in the test team so will only play a couple of games at best.

Other than that a sound team.

Might as well change my name to Blues123 with this question.. Who would be the better out of Hilfen, Cummings and Nannes to replace Hazlewood then?

It's possible that they're only available for a few games, but the information I could find said they will play the whole season. The website isn't great for that kind of info though.

[Rusty00]

Did anyone find out whether bye players are locked at the start or end of the round?

I didn't play this last season, could you loophole last season?

From memory they were locked out at the end of the round, But you wouldn't want to trust my memory  :P.

I have Cummings so go Hilfy or Nannes :P. Nah, Cummings is the best option imo.
