fabian allan hurts matt short a lot
He’s one I’ve had my eye on for a couple seasons since we played the WI over there for some T/20’s. Was hoping he wouldn’t be going to the strikers as he will definitely bat behind Overton (touch less batting upside at 7-8), but his price shouldn’t be too bad.

Gun fielder, so should be in the hotspots which is handy.

All English cricketers, not sure they have the best success rate in BBL, but I suppose they were cheap.
Another star studded Draft, people will be rushing out to buy tickets

Scorchers may as well just play 10 local + Allen

Alsop probably plays ahead of Peirson at the Heat

Have never heard of Chohan.

Media have been building up Bethell

Might get some cheapies in SC but they will probably price them at the usual $ 125k

Nah jennings goes alright, should get a decent run, a much higher profile player than laurie evans ever was before his stint out here.

don't mind the hossain pick either, he's done alright against top opposition before, several of the poms just reek of plebs who are cheap and have had one to two good innings in their life, only getting picked up because they are forced to pick somebody.

Was just looking at his stats on Big Bash Board.

22 wickets as well , bowled fairly regularly in the 2016 , 2015 , 2014 Blast.

I gather he opens with Allen (unless they try Connolly) , Scorchers with a lack of money , maybe why Tye hasn't resigned yet 🤔

I can't get excited by English domestic players who haven't played Internationals , plenty of other decent International players who don't get a look in , not everyone is going to SA or UAE , premium players can't even be bothered nominating , CA really need to do something.

Liking Hossain as well.

Don't mind Finn Allen , Hope & Rutherford.

If Ferguson is fully fit he could break some bats 😀

Bangladesh - 1
England - 14
New Zealand - 4
Pakistan - 1
West Indies - 4

Yeah, pretty confident Australia played a couple tests against England when Jennings was opening as well. If not, he was in the team either side of ashes series (pre stokes captaincy).

Matty Hurst bats middle order in 4-day cricket, but tends to open in white ball cricket from what I’ve seen. Only 20yo. So Allen, Jennings, Hurst all openers. Jennings and Hurst both play for Lanchashire. Jennings and Allen will play. Don’t know if Hurst will or not, likely just depth although I don’t know a whole lot about him.

Big Bash Board show Hurst as batting 9 times in T20 , never opened , they were saying he might just be back up for Inglis which seems strange to me (unless Carey is getting dropped or Inglis is going on the Sri Lanka Test Tour) , might have run out of 💰.

Allen , Jennings , Hardie , Inglis , Turner , Connolly , Agar + 4 quicks possibly

Big Bash Board doesn't show the Hundred , looks like he was opening for the Manchester Originals (with Salt) , 78 & 50 his highest 2 scores

I might need to do some more research

I'm wondering what they'll do with the multi year contracts moving forward, Will they be able to have a few int guys on multi year contracts in 2 years time, or is it still always just the 1?, Theoretically if they can have a few it should help lock down more guys that even big cricket fans have heard of.

Also a big fan of the shai hope pick, surprised gades didn't lock him down early to bat around Brown/JFM/Seifert.

Yeah, admittedly I just looked at The Hundred. Slack research :p. Still hard to see him playing but would be middle order unless one of the other 2 get injured/need to return home unexpectedly. Definitely think him being a keeper is a big part as to why he was picked up.

Good point.

Seems clubs are turning over 1-2 players each year , just looking at the Hurricanes they had the 3 Paki players then Anderson & Hain last season , doesn't seem a lot of continuity.

Sign 2 players on 2-3 year contracts might build more of a connection with players and teams.

Renegades batting line-up doesn't look to bad on paper , Chief , Evans , Wells rotating through 4 to 6 ?

I need to research Bethell more but is he to low @ 7 ?

Richardson , Rogers , Zampa + 1 more
