Good to see Billings back for the Thunder

Maddinson a good pick up , can be handy with the ball as well

Sandhu big loss, gone to the Renegades..

Squads for all teams so far in the link


Sydney Thunder
Head coach: Trevor Bayliss

Contracted for BBL|14:
Wes Agar, Cameron Bancroft, Sam Billings (direct overseas signing), Ollie Davies, Matthew Gilkes, Chris Green, Liam Hatcher, Sam Konstas, Nic Maddinson, Nathan McAndrew, William Salzmann, Daniel Sams, Jason Sangha, Tanveer Sangha, David Warner

Ins:
Wes Agar (Strikers), Sam Billings (Heat), Nic Maddinson (Renegades)

Outs: Alex Ross (Strikers), Gurinder Sandhu (Renegades)

A huge coup for the Thunder as they lured English star Sam Billings from the Heat for the next three seasons under the league's new multi-year contracting mechanism for overseas players. He was the first men's player to be signed under the new rule and the 32-year-old will be available for all of the next three seasons, including finals. The club beat several Big Bash rivals as well as UAE and South African T20 franchises in the race for the wicketkeeper-batter's services.

New general manager Trent Copeland got straight to work following the club's last-place finish in BBL|13, adding depth to the pace stocks by acquiring Wes Agar from the Strikers.

He also secured the key signature of Aussie great David Warner for his first full BBL season following his international retirement, while they secured the signatures of leg-spinner Tanveer Sangha and quicks Daniel Sams and Nathan McAndrew until at least the end BBL|15 during the season.

Head coach Trevor Bayliss has accepted a one-year extension to lead the club in BBL|14 and Copeland declared he expected the experienced mentor to take "the team on an upward trajectory this season", and they've locked in rising talent and recent U19 World Cup winner Sam Konstas on a two-year deal.

There is a women’s T20 Spring Challenge competition that starts today with 18 games played over 7 days. ACT will be playing in addition to the WBBL teams.

Apparently this is to compensate for the shortened WBBL competition.

Hobart Hurricanes won it

4 games each side

Tuned into it, when Thunder had lost their first two games, and effectively not able to make the final, so I tuned out...

The real BBLW starts on Sunday with 3 matches
140pm Strikers v Hear
510pm Renegades v Stars
840pm Scorchers v Stars
