Big Bash Season 15-16

[Bucking Beads]

Apparently the Big Bash will be shown on delay into QLD because we don't have daylight savings.

 

[KennyK]

Can't wait! Go Sixers!

 

[bombersfan4000]

Bravo Renegades!

i think he is only playing for first half of the BBL

Heat sign Simon Milenko, who looked pretty handy during the Matador Cup; batting allrounder predominantly, so probably signed mainly as a back-up.

Members got info today, full squad as they describe it:

2014-15 Brisbane Heat squad: Samuel Badree (Int), Joe Burns, Daniel Christian, Ben Cutting, Ryan Duffield, Andrew Flintoff (Int*), Peter Forrest, James Hopes, Mitchell Johnson, Chris Lynn, Alister McDermott, Simon Milenko, Dan Vettori (Int), Shane Watson, Nathan Reardon, Cameron Gannon, Mark Steketee, Nick Buchanan, James Peirson.

Flintoff listed as third international but I imagine he is the replacement for either Badree or Vettori depending on their international duties.

Badree could miss.

Lalor joins Thunder

Badree could miss.

Cleared overnight I see - bit of a utensil-up in the courtroom by the sounds of it. The three cricketers mentioned have been given the all-clear.

First ever BB trade! Muirhead for Beer.

 

[eth-dog]

Well done Perth.

 

[bigpapagman]

Wow. What an over the odds trade for us.

Muirhead in terrible form though. Playing club cricket or whatever.

 

[Hamez]

Bit of a nothing trade. Stars already have Rose, not sure whether Beer's an upgrade. And Muirhead is terribly out of favour with the Vic's, can't even manage a 2nd XI game atm.

Definitely better than Rose but why?

 

[BlueMaster1]

Op updated

 

[Hamez]

Quite odd considering Muirhead only signed with the Stars just over a month ago. (Didn't have a contract last year)

 

[Cudi]

I thought Muirhead was great last Big Bash, disappointed in this trade.

 

[Starburns_]

Stars got Milned.

 

[grimlock]

I'm really puzzled by this trade, given it's a like for like trade. I get it's not completely like for like given they are different types of spinners, but given that Beer couldn't get a game ahead of Hogg, Agar and part-timers in Turner and Voges, I don't see how Muirhead going there changes that situation. I thought the Scorchers could do with another batsman to replace Fatty Simmons

 

[BlueMaster1]

Just abit off topic do yous reckon Andrew McDonald will play in the bbl would slot in nicely at the hurricnaes

 

[Hamingja]

Good trade for the balance of the WA attack. Muirhead can be apprentice to Hogg and take over when he finally gives it away. Beer will be a good pick up for the Stars. Deserved to play more than he did behind Hogg and Agar over there. Not being able to bat probably cost him at the selection table, as a bowler alone he'd play ahead of Agar.

thats the CV & Greg Shippard mentality. dont bother with the youth, just bring in veteran has beans and never was beans

 

[BlueMaster1]

Yeah it's just a weird trade in general

You seriously underrate Michael Beer.

 

[bombersfan4000]

You seriously underrate Michael Beer.

no Beer has done pretty well in the BBL over the years.
Muirhead did ok last year with the start & his games for Australia, he is young & part of the CV squad. him being traded is everything that is wrong with Shippard & CV at the moment

 

[Torz]

Poor trade. Would've much preferred to keep Beer who one is of the better T20 spinners in Australia IMO (despite missing on balance last year).

 

[Ducky Tie]

Think some are forgetting how good Beer has performed in the past prior to last year and that wasn't really through fault of his own. Very happy to have him personally.
