Big Bash: Please don't mention the Manenti in the room

[Kane McGoodwin]

They are junk.

Tim Paine is shit. Robert Shaw is a master coach compared to that clown.

Strikers need a brand new coach, new imports and a bunch of new local players. This shit is terrible to watch.

Agree - need a near complete cleanout.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Cannot believe that bowlers name is Harris Ralf. Unlucky bastard.

Rauf

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

OMG

A team of amateurs would likely do better.

 

[Interloperer]

Adelaide's Number 11 faced the most balls in the innings.

& was involved in easily the highest partnership.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

What a catch!

Collapse is on

 

[Pugsley]

Tim Paine please leave and take Short, Manenti, Lynn and the imports. Why not a total clean out and start again.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Three bowling imports was a choice and a half

Any danger of picking up a player who can hold the bat?

Why Short ??

 

[Pugsley]

Why Short ??

Not enough runs or maybe a move down the oder.

The imports are the bowlers, and they can stay. Perth game aside, they've been solid for the most part.

That said, I'm happy to sacrifice one of them (say, Wood) to bring in a competent batsman.

Paine removed top priority. The guy has no idea.

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

The list make up is horrible.

Lynn doesnt give a shit, get rid of him

Not sure why we thought it was a good idea to have all imports as bowlers when our batting line up is so thin.

He is past it. This season showed it

Should be looking at Australian players who are not household names but perform.

Probably also need to get some sort of commitment prior to the season from Travis Head one way or the other.

Feel our imports are a bit wasted on all bowlers at what is usually a batter friendly deck.

Surely Kelly's contract is finally expiring this year, not offering 3 year contracts to a fringe, at best player, is probably a good starting point too.

Should try to get McSweeney, especially as he's a Redback.

Should see how many Manettis we can fit in the side

I reckon guys like him and JFM actually see the BBL as a chance to go back to their home states for the festive season.

We'd have to make a play for McSweeney, hes the SACA captain.

Could be, but I wouldn't touch JFM with a ten-foot pole.

To be fair he isn't wrong... as did the best post-decade of Botham English allrounder impersonation in the BBL.

 

[Redline]

By January 27, two days after the competition’s decider, clubs are allowed to have signed a maximum 10 players for next season and beyond.

Local players with a contract, two spots available

Alex Carey, Thomas Kelly, Lloyd Pope, Jason Sangha, Liam Scott, Matt Short, Tom Straker, Henry Thornton,

Local players with no contract
Lynn, Ross, Harvey, Head, Nielsen, Manenti, Wadia, Buckingham, Boyce

 

[Redline]

Thankfully we have Straker, Sangha and Kelly (hasn't played in two years) signed up otherwise we would be raided by our rivals. I bet we sign Wadia.

Maybe debate the point and not attack the poster, it’s what drives people off these forums
