They wanted a draft...and if the BigBash was taking place at a time that wasn't smack bang in the middle of holiday season they might have even got it, as it is the players were never gonna allow it.This trickle of players signing isn't interesting at all. If CA are serious about this competition they really needed to have an NBA like draft. A night at crown casino hosted by Eddie McGuire. Late team news, surprise drafting. Get people to care about it, it might have even got people to identify with their team. Each team could have showed off their round 1 draft pick wearing the #1 shirt and smiling for the cameras with the respective coach.
Really the BBL has been a non-event thus far.
Nevill signs for sydey sixers.
They should have grabbed Heal. He's a good 20/20 bowler. But he's gone to one of the Melbourne teams I see. Considering what SA did last year with spin, Arthur could be undoing all his good batsmen signings without a decent spin bowler.All Perth needs now is a decent spinner and they'll have a very strong XI.
Same for the Docklands team, they could do with a middle order batsman but otherwise look pretty good.
Hobart shaping up nicely too.
Who else are we looking at as overseas possibilities?Hodge mentioned their overseas players will be announced this week too. Like you alluded to though Pattinson will probably be one.
