The Cricket Draft Show: County Championship GW2 Review & GW3 Preview! 🏏

Game Week 2 Review & Game Week 3 Preview! 🏏

Patterns and data are starting to emerge, and we can finally sink our teeth into the stats! This week features a deep dive into All-Rounders (ALRs) to find out who offers the most value and match involvement.

In the "Classic Manager" department: Charlie ditched Lammonby because he didn’t bowl... only for him to take two wickets. He then jumped on the "Hain Train" just in time for a duck! Meanwhile, Dan W kept the faith with Hill. Fortune favours the patient (sometimes)!

📉 GW2: Feast or Famine It was a week of extremes. We saw 24 ducks across the BAT and ALR categories, including one manager who saw three batters fall for 0 on Day 1. Spare a thought for the manager who went with (C) Jewell and (VC) Hameed!

BUT there were plenty of runs to be found, with 19 centuries scored. The GW winner played a blinder, with Jamie Smith, Ben McKinney, Rishi Patel, Craig Overton, and Calvin Harrison all in their XI.

🗓️ GW3 Preview: Navigating the Schedule Eight teams are in action this week with 7 transfers available.

CRITICAL STRATEGY: Only four teams playing in GW3 are also playing in GW4. You must keep an eye on these fixtures! Remember, you get 4 FREE transfers for GW4 & 5.

Pro Tip: You can tinker until your heart is content! Make as many transfers as you like, press save, and come back later. If you put your original player back in and save again, you get the transfer back!

📊 The ALR Deep Dive We’re analysing which ALRs are batting too low or not bowling their overs—and finding the hidden gems. Calvin Harrison is currently looking like the standout option.
