[Twizzle]

[Collingwood Storm]

Khawaja and Beer have signed with Perth

 

[Twizzle]

Khawaja good, Beer bad

 

[Patorick]

Hilfenhaus & Nick Kruger > Hobart.

 

[Timbo]

Khawaja has in fact not signed with Perth and is likely to remain in Sydney, was all a big miscommunication.

But, you know, still struggling to give a flying f**k.

 

[Patorick]

Khawaja has signed with Sydney Thunder.

Haddin and Watson likely to sign with the Sixers.

 

[IanG]

fmd, Joey will be next

Nah there's no Newcastle team

Callum Ferguson has turned down offers to sign with Adelaide Strikers

 

[Patorick]

Surprised no one's signed Steve O'Keefe yet.

 

[yappy]

Surprised no one's signed Steve O'Keefe yet.

Agreed. If he goes to the ANZ side I'll be reasonably happy as that's where I'll take the kids to a game or two.

 

[Jubes]

The colours and names of all the teams are awful. I don't think I want to support any of them.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

The whole things a joke.

Shouldve stuck with the state sides. I dont think I cant support either Sydney team.

 

[blain]

So what is this? A poor mans IPL?

 

[Patorick]

So what is this? A poor mans IPL?

Pretty much.

 

[Twizzle]

a very poor man

Lee has been linked with the SCG-based Sixers, who are also frontrunners to sign Brad Haddin, Shane Watson and young gun Pat Cummins.
Meanwhile, cross-town rivals, the Sydney Thunder, have named out-of-favour NSW wicketkeeper Dan Smith on their coaching and playing roster.
He will be an assistant to former first-grade gloveman Shane Duff but will also be the team's wicketkeeper.
Smith, 29, lost his state contract last month but was NSW's first-choice keeper in last summer's Big Bash and part of the team's Champions League triumph in 2009.
Meanwhile, West Indies star Kieron Pollard has signed with the Adelaide Strikers while the Heat have secured the services of Queensland all-rounder James Hopes.

[Twizzle]

not sure why Dan Smith could be out of favour, he is a damn good batsman

 

[yappy]

Yeah he hits em ok in the shorter formats. The ANZ team looks like they're going for the runs with Warner, Gayle, and Smith. Even Uzi can get a move on once he gets in. Will be interesting to see what they come up with for bowlers.
