Surges & Sixes | BBL SuperCoach Podcast

Braino reveals his first BBL SuperCoach team for BBL 16, 72 hours after the game opened, and Horse picks it apart position by position. We cover why Tim Seifert gets the nod over Josh Philippe, the Matt Short and Ben Stokes combo on the Strikers' round 1 double, Jack Edwards' role at the Sixers, Usman Khawaja at the top for the Heat, and why Sam Konstas at 60K is a must have. We also break down the Perth Scorchers loop strategy with Mitch Marsh on the bench, value bowlers like Daniel Sams, Sean Abbott and Chris Jordan, Haris Rauf owning the death overs in Adelaide, Spencer Johnson's upside, and the positions still up for grabs before BBL 16 starts on 12 December.Join our free BBL SuperCoach league with code 234623 for your chance to win $1000 cash thanks to Ryan from Astute Financial.Subscribe to our Patreon for $10 a month to get weekly Q&A shows, exclusive articles, our teams and trades every week, positional rankings, premium Discord access and a subscriber only league: https://supercoachinsight.com.au/membershipJoin the free Discord to talk all things SuperCoach across NBA, NBL, NFL, EPL and more: https://discord.gg/6fDXWnBHMCThis episode is brought to you by Ryan from Astute Newstead, so scan the QR code or click the link for a no obligation free consult to get your home loan rate down: https://tally.so/r/n005AQFollow us on social media:Instagram: https://instagram.com/@surgessixesbbl X: https://x.com/surgessixesbblCHAPTERS:00:00 Intro: First BBL SuperCoach Team Reveal for BBL 1601:03 Building a Team Beyond Round 1 Doubles02:45 $1,500 Open League Code 234623 and Patreon05:18 Wicketkeepers: Tim Seifert Over Josh Philippe08:14 Cameron Bancroft as the Bench Keeper09:04 Aneurin Donald: Perth Scorchers Keeper Loop Option11:25 Batters: Matt Short and Ben Stokes on the Strikers Double12:32 Jack Edwards: Sixers Role and Vice Captain Pick15:05 Usman Khawaja for the Brisbane Heat16:18 Nathan McSweeney, Test Selection and Marnus Labuschagne18:08 Sam Konstas at 60K: Must Have Rookie18:24 Mitch Marsh at 120K: Perth Bench Emergency Loop19:33 Will Salzmann: Thunder Cash Cow on the Double20:55 Bowlers: Haris Rauf Owns the Strikers Death Overs22:57 Spencer Johnson: The Upside Pick Over Xavier Bartlett24:46 Daniel Sams: Underpriced Lock25:00 Sean Abbott and Chris Jordan Over Ben Dwarshuis26:42 Will Malajczuk: Perth Rookie Lock27:18 Will Sutherland: Renegades Bench Loop Into the Round 2 Double30:19 Michael Neser as the Flex31:13 Positions Still Undecided and Ben Manenti32:25 Horse's Verdict and Wrap Up Hosted on Acast.
