BBL Signings 2022/23

[Aussie_boy]

Think Brown would be stupid to go Heat > Renegades.

Don't mind the Ross inclusion if it eventuates, would have played basically every game this season.

 

[ioppolo]

Heat would be smart to keep Brown for one more season at least. Unless they can pick up another explosive batsman to replace him with.

That being said I can see a Brown move to the Renegades being as successful as Simmons move to the Strikers.

 

[burge13]

this is what the Herald Sun article behind the paywall is saying:
Alex Ross returns to Strikers
Hamish McKenzie interest from Stars/Sixers
Josh Brown to Renegades?
Nic Maddinson no contract

This bloke has done well to make a career of batting at 5-6, only have 1 shot, and only ever being a bit part cricketer. Bloody hell

I often confuse him with Jono Wells. Might as well be the same player.

Jono Wells is actually handy in one format

I think it shows how hard it is to get good middle order batsman. Obviously the better players all want to bat top 4.

new arrangements and stuff

One of the worse kept BBL signing secrets is nearly confirmed

The Brisbane Heat is resigned to losing power-hitting Big Bash cult hero Josh Brown to a large four-year contract with the Melbourne Renegades.

Brown, 30, was the talk of the Big Bash after smashing a sensational 140 off 57 balls in this year’s semi-final against the Strikers then 53 off 38 against the Sydney Sixers in the final as the Heat stormed to its second title.

Even before that it was believed the Renegades were desperate to lure Brown to Melbourne and the Heat, which offered him a shorter but still substantial deal, is bracing itself for Brown’s shock departure next summer.

The modern day Craig Simmons.

The modern day Craig Simmons.

I can see his stint at the Renegades going as well as Simmons' stint at Adelaide. Four years is ridiculous.

 

[Cleavy]

if the pitches at Docklands are slow and tacky, that's probably not going to help his game...

Sell a lot of bats though

Ross doesn't really solve any problems for the Strikers.

Nothing is bigger than his country but the women of his country are literally half of his country.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Think he just wants to play for a glamour city. If the Strikers didn't draft him he'd change his tune and play for a Sydney team.

The modern day Craig Simmons.

When half of your big scores are against the Strikers a grain of salt is needed.

 

[Around the Wicket]

s**t move by Brown considering Heat played him for the whole season when he couldn’t get bat to ball before the 140.

If the money offered is that much better, as if you wouldn't take it considering he's not gonna see money like that again in his working life?

From a Brisbane Heat point of view, I get what you're saying but Josh Brown won't play for Australia in international cricket so his best bet is to take the best financial offer on the table in the BBL.

This isn't the first time he's issued this threat. Will he follow through this time? I do get his and Afghanistan's frustration around Australia playing against them in ICC events but not bilateral series on neutral territory.

He deliberately timed his back surgery to miss last years BBL

Bilateral series are under our control and reward Afghanistan with money and credibility. ICC events are outside our control and don't involve us propping them up in any way. What's more, Australia beating them at the World Cup cost them a semi-final berth, more money and more credibility, so he can suffer in his jocks.

Wes Agar to the Sydney Thunder for a Round 2 pick in the draft

 

[Aussie_boy]

Lol at trading a player for a pick in a draft where half the teams pass in the first round.
