T20 BigBash Signing Thread

[AxelFoley]

Did they have Afridi, Pollard and Rashid last season? I thought it was 2 overseas players per team?

Yeah only two... Pollard should be a lock

 

[Jolldo87]

Yeah Afridi didn't play last year, he was the year before. So I guess they'll be looking at Afridi and Pollard which is probably why they couldn't afford Christian and Tait as well.

pollard is basically signed for adelaide

DAN HARRIS
KIERON POLLARD
CAM BORGAS

FEAR THE STRIKERS.

assume that kooga are producing all shirts and playing apparel of the t20 teams? looks like no originality in the designs!

 

[Rowie09]

Hobart have apparently signed an experienced English opening batsman as their second international. Could be that Lumb guy that was with Queensland last year though I guess.

Hobart so far: Cosgrove, Paine, Birt, Lockyear, Gulbis, Johnstone, Rana Naved, Doherty, Hogan

Ponting has signed.

English import is set to be announced today. I have a feeling it's Robert Key.

These are just prototype shirts. The Hobart one will be a different shade of Purple apparently.

 

[AxelFoley]

Official logos and the like havent been released yet (hence the prototype shirts).

Rowie, its not Robert Key from what I've heard...

 

[AxelFoley]

Is anyone following BigBashBoard on twitter?

[Jolldo87]

Stars have signed Chris Simpson and Adam Voges.

It's going to take alot to get me interested after signing those two.

Fair enough. The paper went with Trescothick, Shah and a couple of others.

Apparently names given to them by Cricket Tas.

Oh FFS - what a joke - happy to get off the Big Bash after this bastardisation by CA.

Get on the Renegades! Hopefully we get some internationals involved.

Will be interesting to see where all the Australia Test and ODI players end up. I assume they will only be on the minimum $20k or so as they can only play 1-2 games maximum each.

 

[peternorth]

will anyone sign clarke?

 

[AxelFoley]

will anyone sign clarke?

I would say one of the Sydney teams will be all over him (Probably the Sixers, he'll love wearing pink)

 

[whats_at_stake]

I would say one of the Sydney teams will be all over him (Probably the Sixers, he'll love wearing pink)

He will settle in well with Smith in the team. Who knows maybe Johnson might sign up with them as well.

 

[AxelFoley]

Steve Smith wearing pink....the piglet is almost complete!

 

[Jolldo87]

Get on the Renegades! Hopefully we get some internationals involved.

Possibly but i'm not going to Etihad.

 

[ROSEMVP]

so whitey's team got

White
D.Hussey
Voges
Bailey
Simpson
Faulkner

 

[jefffff34]

Simpsons more than cancels out the positives of signing Bailey...

 

[eddiesmith]

Poor Whitey, his week goes from bad to worse, that is a shocking team

 

[nicko99]

any chances of the better grade cricketers getting a contract with one of the franchises?
