[Kippax]

Final lock will be 10.30am on the 23rd.

A day and a half left for all drafters (except NZT) to post their core six and top two reserves.

If you're patient, more team info could be seen tomorrow. Otago's squad:

New boy poised to debut

New Otago recruit Jake Gibson is poised to make his debut for his adopted province. Gibson has been named in the 13-strong squad for the Plunket...

THE FIRST STAGS SQUAD OF THE SUMMER IS HERE!

New Central Stags coach Rob Walter has named his first squad as the team prepares for the start of the 2021/22...

The Stags will head into action without the services of both Patel and fellow BLACKCAP Ross Taylor due to Alert Level restrictions in Auckland and Hamilton where the pair are respectively based with their families.

The squad is also without Test batsman Will Young (injured wrist) and senior opening paceman Seth Rance (ankle), but Walter is confident in the depth in the squad to do the job in Canterbury.

 

[Kippax]

Getting two proper top-order bats racking up plenty of blunter's bonus points looked a smart tactic during the English first-class draft. I'll use my R10 pick on Ben Smith.

Thanks, was wondering where Rance was.
Looks like I'll have the services of McConchie this round after all.

Trying to do @Athlai seeing he's on my Wellington team. It's tricky to piece together so he'll have to come in and confirm.

Thanks for the prompt, will do later today.

 

[Chewie]

I will hopefully remember to give this some thought later today.

How are we treating the Auckland / ND players again?

[Kippax]

How are we treating the Auckland / ND players again?

Just leaving it at each drafter's discretion whether to drop them and replace them now, or hope to get 6-8 rounds out of them in the autumn.

 

[Chewie]

basically just promoting Bruce and dropping Cooper

[Kippax]

Yes unfortunate, but if Vandem were to activate the bench for (most likely cancelled) Auckland and ND games coming up, it will become double-dipping if those players collect a bunch of points in April.

 

[Bahnz]

If a player in my top six is left out does the list automatically bump down to the next reserve player, or do I just get zero points for that player for the round?

 

[Chewie]

0 points unless it's for injury

 

[Kippax]

Yes Chewie's correct. It'll be in a future season that I'll probably write in an exception about this for spinners.
