Was he with Josh Bruce in a toilet cubicle??

Be very interesting later on to see what (if any) weight is given to the BBL in the IPL auction. Matt Short would have to be close to player of the BBL at the moment

I imagine as much weight as a domestic level player in an overseas league having a good year would from BBL teams. Priority money goes to the players who have good records and international recognition. Then you look at the lesser known but good performers. There are also quite a lot of good players skipping the BBL but available for the IPL. He might get a contract but I don't think he'll be in the auction. Inglis isn't and he's got international experience, plays in a specialist position and bats anywhere.

Another wicket can't hurt though

In the IPL auction, Cam Green just got sold to the Mumbai Indians for $3.15 million.

It's a pity Delhi lost that bidding war, I reckon Ponting would've had Green's best interests in mind more than Mumbai will

As a Delhi man since the beginning, I'm glad we missed out. Huge (and silly) money for an unproven youngster in the format.

 

[Cuzz09]

So does Green get all that money?

If yes Why wouldn't you forgo test cricket to cash up for a few years and set yourself up.

Jhye joins Green at Mumbai. New second team.

I've never understood the uproar... the batsmen are trying to gain an advantage... it's one with risk. Fair play if you can get it but you have to cop it if you get caught.
Problem people have is that the consequence of getting caught is huge whereas the advantage gained is small but knowing that if you still try and gain the advantage then you need to be prepared to be dismissed.

I think in juniors/ammos giving warnings is fine but at the most senior levels you should know better.

In juniors and wheelie bin shit cricket you can take 3 steps down the track and the ball will still only be halfway down to the batsmen. Bit different in proper cricket

Sydney Thunder terminate Fazalhaq Farooqi's contract

The club received a complaint about his behavior after an incident and referred the matter to CA's integrity unit for investigation

www.espncricinfo.com

Suspect the complaint may have come from a woman

That’s a shame. Real gun bowler. His country’s government doesn’t set the best examples though

Cam Green got $3.15 mill for essentially two innings.

Matt Short has an incredible year and a half of BBL and wouldn't go base price lol.

Also IPL is bringing in an X-Factor of sorts next year. But instead of our X-Factor (exactly 10 over mark first innings can't have batted yet or bowled more than an over) IPL is

• Essentially any time
• 4 Indian subs (can be international but only if you play 3 overseas to start which teams won't)
• A player can bat or bowl and be subbed out.

So the general strategy is to start your team a bowler short, have a Behrendorf type bowl up front to be subbed out for a Tye type.

Or have a pinch hitting slogger top of the order to be subbed out if/when he gets out and replaced by a stereotypical middle order batsman.

Opening batsman copped a bouncer first up and the off strike batsman copped a warning about being out of his crease on the way back. If he was chirpy he'd cop a cross seam bouncer first up. They have a lovely chance of pitching 9-10 yards out and staying low hitting the batsman in the body as they crouch out of the way of the expected chin music.

So you can sub out a dismissed batsmen for a new one, giving you 11 wickets to play with?

People have dumped on Starc a lot for sometimes being expensive and inconsistent with his bowling, but I guess to his credit he has repeatedly skipped the IPL and prioritised keeping his body fresh enough to play long-form cricket for his country. I definitely don't begrudge Green or anybody else for chasing absurd amounts of money for basically two months of cricket per year, but Starc has passed up a lot of money because he's putting his country (and probably his marriage) ahead of franchise cricket.

Wade suspended from Big Bash for swearing with Hurricanes adding Paine to squad

Hurricanes wicketkeeper Matthew Wade misses one match due to swearing, with Tim Paine coming in as his replacement.

This BBL is doing a terrific job highlighting how ridiculous our world cup team selections were.

No, teams will still have 10 wickets in the shed and only bat 11 blokes.

Murali/Walsh/McGrath types will be able to play without having to bat if they don't want to (and some teams might build their teams that way, others might chase up a Gayle type to bat but rarely field.

 

[MrWoollie]

Harris and Bruce Reid the two best i've seen destroyed by injuries.

Bruce Reid - one of my all time favourites. But a real case of 'what if?'. When fit was amazing.

Shane Watson was another injury cursed guy we never saw the best of.

OK, I misunderstood this bit then:

You'd sub out your No. 11, no?

I still consider Both Reid and Harris as major what if's. If they had of got consistency throughout their careers and been able to back up series after series for years they would have only improved their craft and bowling further.

I think people would be shocked to know that they both played the same number of tests.

I think fast bowling is like ballet - the human body is not designed to be subjected to such forces and inevitably will suffer from it.
