Why did the Sixers draft Bates? She’s been as cooked as a steak for a year

There are better imports going around that’s for sure.Why did the Sixers draft Bates? She’s been as cooked as a steak for a year

Her fellow countrywoman A Kerr would have been much better .

Sixers will be battling this tournament if Healy doesn’t play further .
Oh no, we miss Healy the most, while she isn't playing we have a 17 year old as our wicket keeper and opening batter.It’s not Healy they miss it’s Sophie Ecclestone they miss badly. Don’t get why Maitlan Brown wasn’t bowling

Not saying we don't miss Ecclestone, but Healy out is massive.
True, but wicket keeping and opening the batting in just her second game is too much responsibility and pressure for a teenager, especially in a team expecting to play for the title. I would be happier if she bats down the order and bowls instead of wicketkeeping.Not a bad thing having a young kid in there, need to find the next ones. Ecclestone out is huge especially in powerplays. Weird captaincy tonight by Perry, Burns is half handy but she’s not a better bowler than Brown

Was not impressed with Perry's captaincy at all, I think Gardner was a better captain on Thursday despite losing to perhaps the worst batting line up in history.![]()

There is a young ACT wicketkeeper, Paris Bowdler, who I thought may be an option until I found out that she is with the Thunder.
Brisbane's reserve keeper is an international player, Bess Heath.
Beaumont can bat, but they are heavily reliant on their imports: Beaumont, Matthews and Kaur.This is the query with the Gades what happens when Matthews fails
