BBL Signings 2022/23

Would make sense if the draft included domestic players. Wes Agar is not eligible for the draft, so why are the Thunder losing a draft pick for trade?

I think it's essentially a swap of 2nd round picks? Given Thunder missed finals it'll certainly be higher than the Strikers pick.

 

[akkaps]

That's even stupider. Essentially the pick is for nothing.
And this does not incentivize the better ranked teams to initiate trades

 

[JackOutback]

Apparently it will give them a higher pick in the second round when some internationals are still likely to be available. If Agar is surplus to requirements and it gives them a free hit at an international, it makes sense.

CA shrinks WBBL to 40 games, new women's state-based T20 tournament created

CA announces ten-year action plan to increase investment, interest and participation in women's cricket

New state based T20 comp for the women
Need this in the men's as well, to help raise the standard of the BBL

 

[JackOutback]

I don't understand a State-based competition that largely replicates the BBL. Men have plenty of opportunity to pay T20 globally, each State has their own first grade competition with T20 trophy. It would just be the BBL without internationals and dilute the BBL.

 

[Cleavy]

CA: here we go, what you've all been asking for: the return of state based T20
General Public: Yay!!
CA: Did we mention it's a women's comp?
GP: Yay??

 

[Perty4]

Surely the Renegades are going straight for Wade Seccombe as coach?

they walked this back pretty fast. maybe they should have got all the agreements in place before making announcements. (but honestly, where's the fun in that?)

 

[Cleavy]

Hun reporting the Renegades coaching job is down to either Cam White or Adam Griffith

 

[idel one]

Sam Konstas locking in for the Thunder for the next few years; good choice.

 

[jimmytigs]

hope renegades sign up jono wells,great fielder and breath of fresh air with the bat,busy from ball 1,unlike some bigger names who soaked up 10 balls for 1 or 2 runs,before half the time getting out

deseves to be playing till father time has obviously caught up with him

Was pretty excited when I heard on local radio the other day that Charlie Wakim had signed on with the Canes

 

[JackOutback]

Scorchers: No ins, no outs. I love the stability.

 

[western royboy]

Scorchers: No ins, no outs. I love the stability.

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it

 

[Broar]

How did the Stars sign Curran before the draft period?

 

[ioppolo]

Scorchers: No ins, no outs. I love the stability.

I hope Agar isn't automatically selected anymore mind you.

 

[jimmytigs]

How did the Stars sign Curran before the draft period?

some quirky rule change there,seems one import can be pre signed,but i thought that was one that played with the club the previous season,but with billings and curran signed to different clubs it seems open slather for one signing,meaning rashid is open to anyone if he was available

i think the renegades will sign de kok before the draft

 

[Around the Wicket]

I hope Agar isn't automatically selected anymore mind you.

Odd one Agar.. isn't even a star for Perth but makes Australia
