The first Big Bash game is done and won, but it’s not too late to join SuperCoach.

If you’re the sort of person who refuses to join SuperCoach because you think it takes too much time, this is the story for you.

Check out our quick, handy and downright simple guide to picking a gun side in less than five minutes

Once registered:

1. USE approx half your $2m salary cap to load up Scorchers. They have the double game in round one and scores from BOTH games count, so clearly they have a massive advantage (the Heat also have a double game but can’t be selected now as they played last night). You should pick approx 6-8 of these players:

- Andrew Tye

- Mitch Marsh

- David Willey

- Nathan Coulter-Nile

- Ashton Turner

- Michael Klinger

- Jhye Richardson

- Jason Behrendorff

- Ashton Agar

- Usman Qadir

- Hilton Cartwright

- Josh Inglis

- Sam Whiteman

SUBSCRIBER EXCLUSIVE: Tom Sangster’s final team

Brisbane Heat's Chris Lynn is on the must-have list.

2. THEN you need a few cheapies. The most popular bargain buys are:

- Jack Edwards

- Josh Philippe

- Jason Sangha

- Callum Ferguson

- George Bailey

- Cameron Green

- Lloyd Pope

- Sandeep Lamichhane

- Michael Klinger

- Moises Henriques

Moises Henriques of the Sixers is a popular cheap purchase.

3. FILL the rest of your side with your favourite players.

4. PICK a captain. He earns double points. The best captaincy options are from the Scorchers as they play twice in the first round.

5. PICK your best starting XI. Only the scores of these players count.

6. JOIN a league and start sledging your mates.

7. USE your three trades per round to build your side into a SuperCoach powerhouse.

Easy.
