I thought I read somewhere , possibly on SC Playbook that Salzmann hasn't been bowling and playing as a opener (will need to check).

Hopefully the WI announce that T20I Squad ASAP.

Also read somewhere that Hope would miss 3 rounds which probably opens up a spot for Doran/Owens/Wakim.

Maybe they sign a short term OS for Rutherford.

Certainly could see them playing 5-6 until he arrives , so that might only mean one spot for Gilkes/Konstas/J Sangha.

Imagine Bancroft , Billings , Davies & Warner would be locks.

Warner might want to bowl himself 😀

If Ferguson was ready to go would certainly make a very interesting POD to start.
You’re right about Salzmann, hasn’t bowled since a 2nd XI game earlier in November. I’d say Sangha/Gilkes will be the biggest chances to fill the 5/6 positions at this point.

You read it on HB ;) Playing as a bat only at club level

Sangha also currently out with a bicep injury

Been OS for 3.5 weeks so trying to speed read / catch up with the different sites I use for BBL SC research so the brain might be getting scrambled 😉

Might need to take a break and focus on the Test match and just wait for answers to all the unanswered questions.

No Short or Sutherland in Victoria's Shield Squad

Sutherland played the last 2nd XI match as a batsmen.

No Hardie , Richardson or Turner in Western Australia's Shield Squad.

Jason Sangha named in South Australia's Shield Squad alongside Fraser-McGurk

I count 43 players with BBL contracts that have been named in the Shield Squads

None of Abbott , Doggett , Inglis & Webster have been released.

Squads are on cricket.com.au

Yeah just to add, checked my trusty Play Cricket app... bowled in the second XI game in early November and has played 4 grade games since and hasn't bowled.

Short missing due to a family wedding

Spencer Johnson missing due to toe soreness

Hardie missing to a quad concern he has carried since the UK series (no mention if it is the same issue he had last season)

Perth Scorchers all-rounder Aaron Hardie’s early BBL availability is up in the air due to a quad issue following on from Australia’s white-ball series against Pakistan.

Hardie hasn’t played since November 18 when Australia beat Pakistan in the final T20I of a three-game series.

The all-rounder played all three T20Is and all three ODIs in that series but has been put in a cotton wool since.

The 25-year-old is nursing a quad complaint and his recovery is being managed with heavy consultation from Cricket Australia, complicating his availability for the Scorchers.

The Scorchers play the BBL|14 season opener against the Melbourne Stars on Sunday 15 December.

Good to see Victoria make the Global Super League final. TBC who they play in a few hours time.

It does remind me a bit of the Simpsons softball episode where they bring in a bunch of ring ins to play though, hopefully this doesn't go the same way, with them all suffering various misfortunes before the final. :LOL:

Hassan Khan signs for the gades as overseas replacement player. Article doesn’t specify he’s availability but I’d assume it’s cover for Bethell early.

https://www.melbournerenegades.com.au/news/4181457/gades-sign-dynamic-all-rounder-for-bbl14?#:~:text=The Melbourne Renegades have bolstered,the Renegades' line-up.
Currently playing in the Global Super League.

Got granted a NOC for the BBL from Dec 10 - Jan 10 (could change though knowing the PCB)

Has signed to play ILT 20.

Yet to play international cricket as waiting to qualify for the USA.

Another one I will be curious to see what "pricing formula" they use or if it is one of the stock standard prices for OS players.

Hopefully is DPP.

16 wickets from 28 matches in the PSL , ER 7.53

Ave 15.22 with the bat in PSL

Wouldn't surprise me if the ECB pulls the pin on some of these English players before BBL starts.

Bit of a smokie and could be a bolter for round one if signed spinner Callum Stow.

Linked to Melbourne Renegades as a local replacement player for Nathan Lyon.

currently playing for Victoria in the Global Super League.

Past 2 games
3/15 (4) 104sc
1/17 (4) 68sc

Renegades normally like to play 2 spinners and only have Zampa atm (Lyon with Aus)
3.1-0-17-4 v Hampshire

Interesting

Have you heard any whispers that 2 of the remaining local spots are going to Crone & Harris ?

Cheers

Nice to see McKenzie get a gig for WA, Whiteman back after an injury layoff as well.

Sangha batting at 3 for SA.
