Looks like its Sixers it is then.

Its a big area, I don't think we'll run in the same circles Morgie so don't worry.

Big Bash Newz

Jesse Hogan ‏@Jesse_Hogan

Pollard (Adel) & Narine (Sixers) both named for Caribbean T20 from 6-20 Jan, for T&T. No Gayle (Thunder), Samuels (Renegades) & Roach (Bris)

So a blow for the Sixers and Strikers

[morgieb]

Someone should pick Higgs.

[Dan]

Ben Dwarshuis is on the supplementary list? What the actual ****?

Not sure how Siddle didn't pick up a deal TBH, decent enough T20 bowler, even if he won't be available.

And is that the Ryan Sidebottom of English fame?

[NUFAN]

Cockley!!

Butterworth, Haberfield, Davis and Head are the players I would be targeting.

How do I know Cameron Merchant? Was someone talking about him recently?

Merchant is Aussie-born and raised, but played quite a bit of FC cricket over in New Zealand. Made big grade runs last year, IIRC.

[NUFAN]

Thanks for providing some info on him, must have been looking up some NZ scorecards at some point.

it isn't.

Siddle and the Stars must have decided he probably wasn't gonna play any games anyway.

Indeed morgieb.

Hasn't played since 2011 in New Zealand. What's the deal with Merchant?

He couldn't hold down a permanent place for Wellington so he moved back to Sydney; he plays for Manly now.

[Spikey]

moved onto a higher level really
