Good call, Salt is a very impressive prospect of a player. Gillespie would know him well from Sussex. I don't know why people resort to the same snide ignorance when sides go out of their way to actually think outside the box

These younger and lesser known Englishmen are ideal candidates for overseas spots on the roster. Someone should be calling Tom Banton (ideally Perth given their batting order depletion & that he has played grade in Perth already) unless he's already committed to another league.

Ingram is/was good by the way.

Similar to Salt then who played Grade Cricket for Adelaide Uni.

And yeah I was harsh on Ingram but he was frustrating as he threw his wicket away a lot after getting starts (yeah I know it’s T20 but still).

BBL teams need to take the punt and sign this guy

About the same quality as some of the grade cricketers the clubs sign up

Kurtis Patterson signs with the Scorchers for 3 years.

Obviously T20 isn’t his strongest format, but nice to have a classy bat we can chuck up the top of the order.

First time in their history the Scorchers are starting to sign non-WA players.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Gee, pretty ordinary T20 player.

Hopefully he’s just cheap depth.

 

[Ishikawa]

Has the Scorchers got Faf du Plessis like was rumoured? Would make more sense being one of the closest equivalents as Marsh as a T20 opener.

 

[Kyptastic]

Phil Salt signs with Adelaide.

Looking like the Stars are going to sign Dale Steyn as well.

Scorchers list looks underwhelming. Hopefully the can land Phil Inn for SOS.

 

[ep2018]

Looking like another bottom two finish for the Scorchers this season.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

The list looks unbalanced again. They'll have to put a quality bowler on the bench (Maybe Tye? I'm an unabashed Kelly fan.) to have a reasonable batting line up.

Cameron Bancroft
Sam Whiteman (+)
???
Mitch Marsh
Ashton Turner
???
Ashton Agar (will he be fit?)
Jhye Richardson
Matt Kelly
Jason Behrendorff
Fawad Ahmed

No interest in Patterson being a regular so I hope we sign a couple of international batsmen.

Patterson on a 3 year deal, cant be too cheap to lure him away from Thunder?

I’d be disappointed if Perth were spending much on him.

One signing in 8 years who played about 4 games for them.

Muirhead probably the only other one I can think of.
