Players of the round
The match performances that drove the big fantasy scores in Round 2:
- Ejaaz Alavi — 5/24 off 12.3 overs as the 1st XI rolled Dandenong for 165. Already one of the most expensive bowlers at $100k, and he's justified it.
- Syed Shayan Ahmad — 86 off 79 balls for the 3rd XI v Dandenong.
- James Heaney — 72* off 73 in the same 3rd XI win, sharing a 107-run stand for the 3rd wicket with Shayan.
- Zachary Macciocca and the 1st XI top order set up 286, the club's biggest total of the round.
Round 2 results
- 1st XI def Dandenong by 121 runs (286 v 165)
- 2nd XI def Dandenong by 56 runs (254 v 198)
- 3rd XI def Dandenong by 98 runs (4/258 v 160)
- 4th XI lost to Dandenong by 3 runs (9/189 v 6/192) — agonisingly close
Analytics corner
- 3 from 4 senior grades won, with an average winning margin of 92 runs.
- Every win came batting first — a theme to watch.
- 107 for the 3rd wicket (Shayan & Heaney, 3rd XI) — the biggest stand of the round (provisional until checked against ball-by-ball).
- The 4th XI's 3-run loss was the tightest finish of the weekend.
Trade insights
- Bowlers did the damage this round. If your side is batter-heavy, bowling all-rounders like Miller Childs ($75k) are a cheap way to rebalance.
- Two transfers a round — use them early on players who are playing, not those who might be.
