– Anaru Kitchen and Doug Bracewell looks safest C/VC choices considering their All-rounder roles.

– Jacob Duffy might be a good pick considering his good numbers in H2H innings.
– Neil Broom and Hamish Rutherford are other good C/VC choices considering their numbers of H2H matches.

– Adam Milne might be a good punt captain choice especially while bowling first.
– Can go with anyone from Tom Bruce or Hamish Rutherford as VC considering their good numbers in H2H matches.
– Dropped Neil Broom as he might not go big in two consecutive innings.
– Greg Hay might be a decent punt considering his opening batting order and hard hitting ability.
– Dale Phillips will be a crucial pick if a couple of top order batters from Otago Volts depart early.
– Try dropping Dane Cleaver and Michael Rippon in risky SL combinations as they’re not consistent performers.

– Jacob Duffy looks an open captain choice in GL as he’s due to take wickets from the last two matches and also holds good numbers in H2H matches.
– Josh Finnie might be a decent VC choice considering his opening batting order and a couple of overs with the bowl.
– Can take anyone from Dale Phillips or Llew Johnson as both will be crucial especially if a couple of top order batters depart early.
– Blair Tickner has been selected by just 17% users in D11 but he can take a couple of wickets again especially while bowling in second innings.
– Dropped both Dane Cleaver and Michael Rippon as they’re not very consistent performers.
– Must try Tom Bruce as C/VC in a couple of grand league combinations especially while batting first.
