Horse reveals his first BBL SuperCoach team for BBL 16 and Braino grills him on every pick, from Josh Philippe with the gloves and Mac Harvey on the bench to the Matt Short and Ben Stokes one two punch on the Strikers' round 1 double. Horse stacks the Brisbane Heat for their five games in three rounds with Usman Khawaja, Tim Robinson and Hugh Weibgen, and we debate Bevan Jacobs, Ben Dwarshuis and how the new 84 minute powerplay rule changes death bowling, plus Chris Green at 85K, Mitch Owen as a round 2 bench stash and Lockie Ferguson as the flex. We finish with the locks in both our teams, the big names we're both fading like Sam Harper, Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell, the case for Jake Fraser-McGurk, what the first ever BBL game in Chennai means for spinners, and why Ben Manenti could be the final round 2 piece.

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.
