yeah but Darren Berry criticism of imports is by far the worst thing he's said. the rest of it has been pretty decent.

Yeah, he also said he had a lot of faith in grade cricket to produce quality players and that he'd be looking to it to improve South Australia's squad. He didn't say Adelaide grade cricket specifically so recruiting Doropoulos backs that up, even if it contradicts his anti-import stuff.

Please explain, if teams weren't to negotiate with players before today, how did West Syd sign 2 players 15 minutes after window opening.

Good point.

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha he called them West Sydney; gun. Hope it catches on.

Bloke was a hero.

Will probably still pick up a Big Bash contract IMO.

 

[Spikey]

Yeah you'd think Brisbane would be a obvious place if neither of the Melb. teams want him. Should see a return to picking the best team possible instead of picking 3 token kids or whatever which I like.

Any word on Adam Crosthwaite and South Australia? Wonder if it went pear shaped, thought it was a lock a few months back.

Dunno if you meant to do that or if it was a copy/paste fail but it's awesome regardless.

The fact that you posted that in the wrong thread at first hints that it was an accident.

Cricket gets makeover in bid to attract more fans

 

[juro]

If they're going to go to the effort of giving it a makeover, why can't they change the name? 'Big Bash League' is just plain awful!

And if they wanted to attract more fans, maybe they should have called them the Sydney Biebers instead...
