2019/20 New Zealand First-Class Season Draft (Division 2)

[vandem]

Oh I definitely think even the Feral Goats can do better than Bhula. I'd like to swap him out for a surefire lock for six or more Plunket games.

Bookmarking this post for review in April.

 

[straw man]

I also have Nuttall already.

Goats can have Nofal and Cats can have Rippon.

 

[straw man]

Give one injury-prone allrounder who should perform until they get injury-subbed out to each team:
Cats - Anderson
Goats - Clarkson

NZT already took Brownlie off the table, so I'll take this as a sign I need to reverse course. Bhula gets his gig with the Goats, may his 150 points be crucial in their season-long battle with the Cats.

Do you get a bonus 150 points for a maiden first class century? ;-)

Hawkins and Renwick for the Goats, Mitchell and Rae for the Cats.

Hey they're getting too weakened by barrel-scraping to be competitive! NZT and Vandem to flesh these out, or else you two should enter Horns & Claws Inc. and try to cause a genuine uproar in Div 2.

 

[vandem]

A Fletcher, Newton, Bowes. NZT to finish. Still some choices for final seamer for Goats, Sears or van Beek or Milne or Small?

Kitchen and Broom for Cats.

Thanks for Kippax for organising, adds an extra level of interest to the season.

 

[straw man]

Yes, thanks Kippax.

Knew no Ferguson for this match due to broken finger. But didn't know De Colin wasn't playing - anyone know why?

 

[NZTailender]

Early doors but my players doing sfa. I take it I can sub worker for KNB this round as the latter has a side injury?

Are subs permanent? So I wouldn't want to sub Ferguson out because then I can't have him back next week?

Yes subs are automatic if I can find mention of an injury, which I have for KNB and Ferguson.

oh I don't know. I thought it was per round but I guess permanent makes more sense from an admin PoV

also injured for PS round 1

Young shoulder (cdcricket.co.nz)
Bruce minor knee surgery (cdcricket.co.nz)
D Bracewell knee (cdcricket.co.nz)
Small knee (cdcricket.co.nz)

Viral infection.

 

[straw man]

Guessing highest scoring players of the round would be Mitchell and Duffy, one of whom wasn't picked and one who was picked only at the end.
