Big Bash Do’s & Do Not’s

Big Bash DT Do’s and Don’ts 2012/13

Okay, there are a few simple rules to Big Bash Dream Team. Most are similar to AFL Dream Team but you need to these in order to have some success. Make sure to read the point systems and watch the Ryobi Cup for info on form.

DO

Firstly pick players on form (sounds simple enough) this summer stay away from Peter Forrest he’s is in shocking form, besides a recent unconvincing 50 he has really struggled. If you want someone in form try Aaron Finch. He is in blistering form in the Ryobi Cup and looks likely to bring that form over to the BBL.

DO

Value 4 Money

Players like Peter Handscomb a $36,000 Melb Stars batsman has to be in your team. With Wade playing for Australia Handscomb is likely to get the gloves most weeks.

I can’t figure out why but the man himself, S.K Warne is only $68,800, that’s a bargain as far as I’m concerned.

All-rounder James Hopes is only $59,800 and could see himself opening with the bat and the ball this summer for Brisbane and is worth a look.

DO NOT

You might see the best batsmen in the world Michael Clarke sitting there at $77,800 or the big hitter David Warner at $115,500 but “IT’S A TRAP” they might wiggle some value at you with Matthew Wade at $74,400 but remember players in the Test side will NOT play much of the Big Bash because of test commitments. Warner played only 1 match last year, Nathan Lyon only played 2 and then wicket keeper Brad Haddin also only played 2…thank god for that. Watch out for players that are in the Test squad as well, for example Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazelwood who are all very good options for your team, but they could find themselves wearing the baggy green instead of the magenta.

DO NOT

Do not pick to many players from the same team, especially batsmen because you’ll probably find that at least one of them will have a mare per week. Finally I leave you with a warning. Don’t pick Phil Hughes…

Good luck!

Oh and stay away from those Marsh boys!
