Australian Domestic Offseason 2011

[Dan]

Luke Wright was another. You'd think the Melb. team that doesn't get Wade will be looking overseas.

Return for Adam Crosthwaite? Can't think of many international keepers coming across

EDIT: Straight after that Steve Davies popped into my head.

Oh yeah, Carters...

 

[brockley]

Lot of rumours today,will stick with the signigs,too confusing otherwise,cowan to the sixers.

 

[NUFAN]

Can someone confirm something for me: Is each squad only allowed 18 players?

 

[Spikey]

they can sign up to 18 during this 3 week period - mim of 14. Not sure if they can add another couple during the tourament

Quote from Big Bash page on cricinfo suggests they must have 18 players

The teams can begin signing up players from 9am on Thursday, and they have three weeks to secure at least 14 players. By December 9, a week before the competition kicks off, each team must have signed 18 men, which can include up to two international players.

 

[NUFAN]

Cool thanks. I was just thinking that 18 might not be enough considering some International matches will be played at the same time, plus of course injuries. Hopefully the BBL has a system in place so the 2011-2012 version of Patrick Cummins can emerge.

Pootang signs with Hobart Hurricanes

I thought Sydney may have picked him up, as that's where he lives.

 

[Top_Cat]

Surprised anyone picked him up. He's been woeful since everyone started taking T20 seriously.

 

[Spark]

It's a stupidly packed schedule the int'l players have this summer though, isn't it? Can't see him - or any of the "major players" being around too often for it.

 

[robelinda]

It will probably be nice to watch after we get our asses handed to us by India. Can only imagine what Sharma, Zaheer and Kumar are going to do to Hughes etc.

 

[Spark]

Haha if Kumar plays here he'll get slaughtered. The long range forecast is for a dry summer and if it doesn't swing...

 

[Prince EWS]

I reckon he'd swing it anyway. Bloke could swing a brick.

Fair enough. Still have my doubts, though. Far far far more concerned about Sharma myself.

Yeah, not saying he's going to be gun; just reckon he'd still swing the new ball. I don't think he'll play anyway.

 

[vcs]

Yeah, even in the current Test, where the track seems to have become decent for batting after the first few overs, he got good swing with the new ball.

Essentially it's just another player going home. Ricky's always said he loves playing in Tassie if only because he gets to visit family.
