Gonna just start this up now because 'free agency' and signings are going on.

One big signing for mine is that Alex Hales has crossed from the Gades to the Strikers.  :(

[its me lads]

I just heard th Alex Hales news on the radio today. Great News!

The Stars batting lineup is ridiculous, unless they haven't updated since last year, got austar and can't wait for it to start!  ;D

flowering TEN ::)  no Shield cricket on tv at all ::)  but the boring BB is on :P  Yep, I said boring!

Might still watch a bit though :P

Sheesh sticking with four batters is tough, atm have dropped Finchy, brought in new gun Strikers recruit Hales, brought back in Khawaja, kept White and swapped Finch for Marsh. But could start Davey Warner and could have too? Also could be stupid not to have Hughesy but he's really expensive for a kid that's only played one BB match

Squads for tomorrow night's opener are out and have been posted in the BBL Fantasy thread.

Both teams are lacking a few players who would be starters, but it's still sure to be a ripper game.

Starc out for the Sixers, replaced by Josh Lalor
Faulkner out for the Stars, replaced by James Muirhead
Hilfenhaus out for the Canes, replaced by Kelvin Smith

If any of the three are fit to return, they can take their places in the squads again.

Can't wait for BBL
