Salary cap apparently, can't afford Allen + another platinum player's wage.

I didn't even realise pre-signed players had to be in the draft. That seems to contradict the idea of pre-listing someone?
That's a lot of pressure on Allen now, Evans was a crowd favourite for good reason.

Bummed about not keeping Evans, but I understand the Scorchers' reasoning. We can have Allen all season whereas Evans is only available for some of it.

Second round of the draft has been basically all pre-signed players. And now the Scorchers have passed.
What's the point?

So who's taking up all our salary cap? Marsh? Hardie? (hopefully Green?) etc...

Really hoping we take a wrist spinner in the next round or two. A wicket taking spinner is a huge hole in our squad.

Andy Maher trying to pump up Moises' captaincy record, and Henriques could clearly not care any less.
The cringe is real.

Nope, we take three batting options.

Feels like 80% of the Scorchers imports over the years have been random English bats.

Scorchers seem to have a knack of picking good but less heralded players then turning them into platinum (Munro, Evans)
Just have to hope they continue their good record there

Livingstone the best example, would love to see him back one day even more than Evans.

Willey was the original random UK export turned success story
Rishad Hossain is a seriously good get for the Hurricanes. Some astute scouting there. Either Dooley or Hobgoblin Hatzoglou must be out of the squad?
It's the Voges factor.
Took my 5 year old to her first Eagles game this year, vs North 
, and she enjoyed the pre game fireworks and the Eagle but as soon as the ball was bounced it was "Daddy I'm bored".
All game it was "I don't like footy" "I'm bored" "I don't want to go to footy again"
But then she said
"But I would like to watch the cricket here"
Now all I hear is "Daddy is footy finished now?" "When does cricket start?"
I have tried and tried with footy but it's a no go ATM, but cricket was a surprise.
Roll on big bash.

He had already opened the batting for England on the Ashes tour here before his BBL stint, so he was known.
The absolute OG import diamonds in the rough for Scorchers would have been Alfonso Thomas and Yasir Arafat.

Just a quick check in - I'm right assuming that the Ashes will be played in our summer games later in the year?
Wanting to get my "spirit of the game" all dusted off and ready.

Thank you, won't pretend I'm not disappointed.
Fortunately for you, we do soon start a white-ball series against our traditional enemy.

They finally replace Warner with Fraser-McGurk and we immediately set the record for highest score in a powerplay in a T20i.
