Rivalry notes
Post toss: Well toss technically hasn't happened yet due to rain delay but I'm already reluctant due to said heavy rains. Definitely won't play Hardik, will pick an opener instead either Jaiswal or Rohit depending on who's batting first. Or the other option is swap Hardik back to Mhatre. Will confirm after toss.
What a mistake the last game was. I forgot to check the weather so of course it rains but worse than that I used a booster on my alt account, so the only thing I can do not is just stop using it and focus on my main team. No points were made but unfortunately 2 transfers were wasted.
After the last game I'm a bit traumatised will just made the 1 transfer so I have two players. THERE IS A CHANCE OF RAIN IN BARPARA. There's a chance there will NOT be a full game!! I already have Vaibhav and trading Mhatre for Hardik who I think is the best pick I can make this round, atleast with no OS slots. Hardik was just ill which could be a concern but he has a great track record against RR and can get some points with the bat and ball. I chose Hardik for now but after the toss I could end up swapping him for an opener from the batting side. Your options are Jaiswal, Vaibhav, Rickelton, Rohit, Jurel, and MAYBE Parag/Tilak. It terms of bowlers it's harder to say but if there's a chance of them not bowling all 4 overs it's not worth the risk. And if play doesn't start on time I might retract my transfer to minimise the risk. While I have gone over what to do if it rains (like I should've yesterday) I'll say it likely won't rain and we'll still getting 16+ overs of cricket. So a minimum of 2 players is still a good idea.
Thanks for reading and I'll see you after the toss.
