Cam Green traded to RCB so Mumbai can afford to get Hardik Pandya back. I guess he won’t mind too much who pays his $3M salary.

pfft, $3m. It's all about the pride of representing Royal Challengers Bangalore Mumbai.

Players want the big city life offered by Mumbai, sporting capital of the world. There's nothing for them to do in Bangalore, although he is closer to family.

I heard Bangalore have offered a contract to Darcy Short with their seconds team to help keep Green long term

Just read that Greendog has pulled out of the BBL.

I'm not sure how the salary cap works, but I'll be pissed if it means we could've kept Banners if
Green made his decision earlier.

Philippe out as he prepares for white ball season.

Morris out i assume because CA had their way again..

Morris played club cricket on the weekend. Wonder if CA knew about that?

 

[Dazzler9]

JHYE!!!

At least we'll be competing with 11 players this time.

Is there a keeper in that line up or are we gonna use bangers or whiteman?

Curtis will keep. Keeper for the 2nd XI & has scored runs at that level this season.

CA is gonna ruin Morris. Just let him bowl FFS. Hows he meant to find any rhythm in his bowling if you rest him every second game. took him to India just to sit him on the bench for 5 games when he could have been back in Australia bowling then to top it off ends up with a back injury. He'd be better off with WA managing him.

 

[Tugga27]

Turner must still be injured.

Batting still looks a bit thin but all in all, not bad
changes TBH.

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

If Morris' withdrawal is a result of CA directive then the WACA need to make a formal complaint. It's got beyond a joke FFS.

 

[Ljp86]

Reckon had whiteman never got injured he would have been our keeper for the last half a decade. It’s pretty late for him to earn a call up to the Aussie side now

I fully agree and am fairly bullish on this. Whiteman is a very good keeper and did quite well batting at seven for WA while he was keeping. He is a much better keeper and batter than what Carey is and would likely be our test keeper if not for his finger injury.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Hopefully Wyllie can find some form playing club cricket while the BBL is going on. Guess he was given enough rope and just wasn't scoring runs.

Kind of exciting to see a keeper in there who might actually score some runs.

 

[Tugga27]

Paris is a massive out.

We just can't a good run at it this year.

Looks like Philippe is off to India for the last couple of t20's, so i guess that's why he's out..

Paris is a massive out.

We just can't a good run at it this year.

Paris was named, or have i missed something..?

Edit - just saw he isn't playing.. that's shit

 

[FKASC]

danger game

 

[FKASC]

Pretty strong Qld 11

 

[RookiePick]

Rain Delay. A bit disappointing we didn't make any inroads if there was some moisture around. Looks like the batting has not been easy though :/

 

[THE A5]

Why is Uzzie not opening for his state when he our opener?

 

[Dazzler9]

Why is Uzzie not opening for his state when he our opener?

To give Renshaw a crack at Warner's spot.

 

[Ochre]

He wasnt opening for Queensland when he got recalled.

Interesting to see they bring Inglis home and it further doubts Carey’s spot in the test side (after Careys comment’s recently as well).

What did he say?

Pretty sure Carey is a lock for test keeper.
Haven't read anything that suggests otherwise.
