🔴LIVE | BBL PLAYER DRAFT 2024

in here I'm not sure we can no we can't take a look where we going coach uh we've picked Paul Walter okay tell us about Paul uh big tall allrounder um played with Manchester in the 100 we think he his sta can with this type of thing how much is watching over playing for Manchester The Originals how much is talking to people involved on the ground like where's the balance uh probably a lot of a lot of data and then actually putting eyes on it as well so matching it up and then obviously you're checking to make sure that it's a you know he's going to working with our group well so yeah look across the board it's it's all those elements rip up thank you happy with that both tall Paul I think he he mck he's tall Paul he is tall and and any B will be happy with that because he gives us variety you've got suspens and Johnson is he going to be available or is he going to be a away playing for Australia you got another left armor there so it's another good option I think his bowling will be suited to the gabber as well with that extra bounce he hits a big ball too so you know looking for the all rounder options you look at over and curan as your first options but when you got Monroe Billings and Walter I think they're pretty happy there so that's an interesting one the Sixers have passed in the silver so that that goes straight on to the Thunder now yeah well each team does have to pass on one of the rounds so uh the Sixers have chosen to pass in this round and so you'd expect them maybe to have their pick in the last round the fourth round so uh well that's right and it might be a salary issue you know defeat every player in it sometimes gets hard work so sometimes you do have to to pass as you said you you some going to pass somewhere so you know brisban heat for example they filled their spot so they're passing next round yeah yeah that's right and the thunder on the clock and this is where it goes pretty quick and you got to think quickly because you got to adapt uh and work out what you need but they seem pretty calm don't they yeah well Trevor bis is always pretty calm not too much seems to fluster him over the over the years but uh yeah they've been a very good team the Sydney Thunder and uh they'll be looking just to add to their squad now to to just just sort of top things off really to compliment their local players yeah Trevor bis a lot of success as a coach and let's get down to Howe for a reaction on our pass pass well I guess you have to make one of them what are your thoughts um look we think we've got a a fairly strong domestic uh young domestic players and um we'd like to give them you every opportunity to uh you know to improve and um and give them game time so just at this stage we passed in this round Jay how you feeling about things the way they're going yeah it's been good so far um I think the picks that we've picked have been really good um they C our Squad and one thing we got this year is some really nice depth you know obviously adding Liam Hatcher and Cameron BT that Squad as well so yeah it's exciting beautiful good luck thank you okay so they've passed I agree I think the key and what we've seen with the scorches over many years and the Sixers for that matter is getting that good strong local talent and then if you can top it up that quality overseas uh and I think the Thunder is starting to get there they they've got some top quality local talent yeah man on screen is a pretty good player Jason S so OE Davies they've got some quality players throughout their list um the they're the guys that have perform well at different times and now it's up to the Renegades to see which way they go and they have passed as well so again you've got to pass in one of the rounds it sometimes gets down to the salary cap with the silver and the bronze there's 100 Grand difference there yeah so the Renegades have chosen that way which is understandable everyone's going to do it at some stage yeah so now we move to the Hobart hurri canes uh on the clock as well yeah I guess there's so much planning and thinking that goes into it and then you've got to manage your salary cap as well and some some teams like to keep a little bit of money left over in case there are injuries uh or players leave um you know throughout the season and they need to get Replacements along the way particularly towards the back end when you're coming in around the finals time yeah that's going to be the hard one for for juggling for most franchises always is though or or Australian players available or not available and and that can happen as we know the Australian CR team you want them to play and win and Etc but your franchises needs to have availability there for certain players so that's always the tough one yeah brisban Heat have gotman kager and Manus leishan how much are you expecting to see them this season not much I wouldn't think if they're playing good test cre you think they wouldn't be around too much so you know you got a plan for that as well you love having them in the franchise setup wman and marus did so well for us at the back end of the tournament the pick is in so let's get down to Hoy oh thought he might pass you let me bit short of a gallop I thought he was going to pass where you going now we're going with Cory Anderson Cory Anderson hard hitting allrounder yeah he'll give us a couple of overs he can bat anywhere in the batting order as well he's obviously coming off um Major League cricket in the US where he was he was pretty impressive against some pretty good attacks over there he's probably been a bit of a forgotten man around the world the last couple of years but we we think he he slot in really nicely with us I've worked with him at the Mumbai Indians he's a terrific BL and I think he'll add a lot to the group sure boundary square of the Wicket down at blunston as well yeah he's a big strong man I don't think there's too many of the grounds in Australia that will worry and power wise so and as I said with with batting anywhere from sort of three to six or seven and and an over or two if required I think he' do a good job for us thanks Rick cheers mate Cory Anderson goes to the kanes it's a bit of a Bolter but uh I think it's a very good pick he he's been a bit of a forgotten man um Cory Anderson he he he's not playing for New Zealand anymore he's now playing as a local in America um but still playing some pretty good Cricket yeah he's playing some good Cricket so that's a good pick again I mean there's so many different options and ways you can go but they've got some power now Tim David to that who we saw the other night with the Australian team Whack Him all over the place so they've got some quality players most tees are getting stronger and stronger it's certainly shaping up as you're going to have to play well on the day we know that that's the game of cricket but uh well some of the teams that are putting some good quality sides together yeah I agree this all the teams look really strong on paper obviously the game's not played on paper and you got to bring it together on the game but the adite strikers have also passed so uh we're going to see a few picks in the last round which would be interesting as well but um yeah all the teams are looking really strong aren't they they are and this is where it gets down to the need- gritty of what you need uh and what you can afford too because you got the salary cap that CA put in place and that's fantastic it's about right so we've seen teams go right through and then some teams not and Melbourne stars are on the clock now and they'll be what do they pass they go again well surely they've got to get a spinner Melbourne Stars you would think so we've mentioned it a few times tonight obviously zamp has gone to the Melbourne Renegades whether it's this pick or the last pick in round four but um you think that's what they desperately need in their in their lineup just just to sort of round off their squad well they had Joe Clark last year they go the B OB he made 100 in the BBL last year quality player yeah he is a high quality player uh Joe Clark I guess they've got Sam Harper across from the Renegades to do that keeping rooll and B at the top of the order so I don't know do they go down another path there I'm sure we'll find out soon enough yeah it's Glen Max well that that again allall franchise look pretty pretty clear and we'll go down to Harry for a pass I think Harry well there's not really much I can say to people that pass but I'll have a crack anyway Blair so you get one left for the final round yeah we do and we've got the next pick so we've got a plan in place that we had hoped might come to life and we think it might which is great so you get the first pick in the last round you we do okay so that's the reason they've passed uh I just want to head over this way we talk about the scorches and how well they've done uh Christina Matthews is the CEO of well Cricket in West Australia she's uh if you want the gun administrator this is Christine she's tucked away down the back she should be at the front to be fair rightly so um how you feeling about it so far I think they're doing a good job they weren't listening to me earlier but uh I threatened their jobs and now they're okay and now they're on the right path tell me tell me about culture we we watch the scorches every year um seems a happy team and a successful team how do you set a culture for a for a club like this where players come and go oh it's important that everybody in the organization players and staff understand what you're looking for and what does um uh make you successful and it's no different in a team to is in staff and everybody in our group is aware of what it takes and all buy into that so it's a it's a really lovely place to be around really happy place and that's demonstrated in the way our players play all right great well done thank you we'll head over this way as well we've got a moment uh Michael nesser um we saw him just hoop the white ball around the corners in Big Bash cricket um spent a long time away didn't get the opportunities you wanted but how was the ashers tour mate it was great to see you yeah thanks yeah it was awesome um for the boys to retain the ashes it's massive you know how hard it is to win there so for them to go and do that it's very special Brisbane heat uh what's it like boiling at the gabber in those sort of warm January nights we saw you move around early yeah it swings a bit uh especially when the humidity is up it can hoop so it kind of plays in my favor but again that Wicket is flat so it's one of our scoring grounds around so I hope I can contribute with the bat as well we might sneak around past B here I'm going to get around the light cables because the Wicket keeping gun is in the he likes to stay in the background uh HS how are you enjoying the big bash draft as a concept second year how have you found it all very much um I've enjoyed it immensely both years uh so many criers still want to play the big bash which is great International cricketers that have nominated to be here um so it's good and it's great to see all of the discussions and debates over over weeks and weeks to as to what might happen What who we want what we need and what might happen what are these other teams going to want and what's your role at the heat uh nothing much I just come here in the back row uh no we we're in touch uh on the board and on the retention and recruitment Committee just just to have a nice conj between uh the staff of the Heat and the board of queens and Cricket how would you have gone what would have done for your game personally as a keeper and as a batsman the analytics that we see in modern Cricket uh yeah don't know we really I can't really judge that whether I'd learn scoops and you know flips and spoons over your head I'm not not really sure but they they have a wonderful ability to put a ball where the Fielder isn't and and they practice that and it's quite impressive to watch and the stroke play is amazing the bowlers are under amazing pressure and the Spinners have been better than everyone thought so it's very exciting and very new um you were the pine you this with that sort of little flick over between midwicket and the man on the boundary okay that was Pioneer was it um yeah that's that that's good mate I'll probably have to Branch out onto the offside with some of my strike play good on your heels great to see you uh Buford man you know very very well yes how I do it wasn't it was a little flick for two that's how much power heels had a he was an absolute Beauty Ian hilly what a what a great of the game but uh three rounds are done let's recap all three rounds round one a Khan was the first pick but he was retained by the Adelaide Striker so Harry Brook became the first pick bof and yeah take us through the rest of the picks in round one all quality cricketers All Quality Pap so Chris Jordan obviously uh Quinton de Alex H Tom Karen and Colin Monroe scorches passed on their first pick at at Platinum so that was round one that was that was pretty good though wasn't it round round two was where it gets a bit funny H yeah it was a I thought it was a fantastic round one but round two Harris Ralph he started things off there and I I think he's a brilliant pick and and this where things got a little bit interesting Jamie Overton I think is a really Cy pick from the strikers Sam Hayne he's improved his game a lot we add a lot to the Hobart hurricanes maib back at the Renegades Zaman KH a bit of surprise but a fantastic death bowler and the Sixers get back James Vince your boys Sam Billings he must be happy to get him back yeah he'll be happy I mean Jamie over was on our radar as well so it's one of those catch 22s you lose a play you go on next one or whatever it may be but I know Pete very happy with Monroe and Billings and Zack Crawley of course getting to the scorches who is a quality player and as we move into round three there's quite a few passes uh but Lori Evans picked up by the scorches again that's a great pick for them they'll be delighted to have him back Paul Walter little surprise for you yeah that was a good pick from the Brisbane heat you had him in the 100 you or not you played against him he a tall and Cory Anderson went to the Hobart but you have to pass in one of the four rounds obviously so per already gone through those and and he obviously have got their three plays so they'll have to pass in the next round so there going to be interesting to see where playing is it going to go to which franchise yeah it's going to be very interesting last round round four will be coming up very very soon but don't forget at 9:30 tonight just after the draft we'll be heading to South Africa for the third and final T20 International between South Africa and

teams will pass in there or have passed in their their last pick Hobart hurricanes and your mob the uh the Brisbane heat but all the other teams uh we were looking to uh just finish off their squad with another quality player and that's going to be the how one they spent hours they just going have to work out which of these batter bow rounder spinner um but that's a fascinating thing with the Melbourne Stars what what do they go for they probably still want a batting option don't they yeah well that's right the order reverses again now so Melbourne Stars will be back having the first pick and uh well let's get underway Melbourne Stars uh round four on the clock yeah I'm not sure what they're going to go for I still I'd be surprised if they didn't go a spin option and uh this is this is probably the round where you can sometimes go a bit of a smokey unearth remember Sydney Sixers went for um Navid isra hulak n the the young leg spinner which no one was expecting and uh maybe we'll see a name or two like that come out in this round for the Parkinson boys from England they're in it so k k Parkinson Matt Parkinson those sort of types might might come up it's just hard because you know you've got to dig so deep into that list and then work out now what you've got what you've picked up today so far obviously they picked up number one with Harry Brooke and the Harris Ral you I think you're right spin option or do they go that middle order option where is Glenn Maxwell going to bat in this BBL is he going to open the batting or bat four he he he'll tell us at some stage I'm sure but but this is where remember Moses was talking about being flexible and and maybe the teams have also got to think okay is there a quality player that's been overlooked in the first three rounds that maybe we can jump on that uh that you know we expected to go in in either round one two or three uh or do you just stick to your plan let's find out the Melbourne Stars the picks in Howe what have you got well I've been working the phone which fascinates me um Flair final pick for the draft for Mel Stars uh our final pick is assama M okay tell us about Asama uh he's a tall leggy uh almost two two M tall so we'll give it something different um we know leg spin's very good at the MCG uh gives it a good whack as well so s for Manchester and The molon Sultans as well now were these Father's Day messages or were you texting back to the coach or what were you doing I was actually texting the desk because my computers just shut down so it was good timing um but obviously we needed a Ley so we actually thought he might have gone further um up the um one of the rounds so we were very pleased to have him at uh at the bronze and he's available for the whole tournament so tremendous well done thank you yeah he's just been picked for Pakistan I think that's a wonderful pick and I agree I I actually had him pegged to go earlier in the draft in one of the the first three rounds he's a he's a high quality leg spinner and can certainly give it a bit of a tap at the end so I think it's a great pick the melin stars have done well out of this draft Yeah they have we got 70 wickets in the PSL so quality bowler tall give us a whack as just head they have done well they've done really well so it' be great to see these new names come out in the BBL as well and how they play and how they cope with the the bigger grounds for example as we see the strik is on the clock and the pick is in so let's go to Hoy just Mak my way down there trying to build the tension with the texting going back and forth and a problem with the internet bu but anyway we're back at the strikers now where are we going d uh we're going to bring back Adam hoses from England okay so obviously a player that's played with you before what do you like about Adam yeah I think he learned a lot from last last year it was his first time in the big bash and he certainly uh played some match winning Innings um contributed a number of Victories for us last year we think he's learned a lot and he'll be even better player for us uh going into the next BBL what do you think he's learned uh he's learned I think how to adapt to Australian conditions Australian grounds are a little bit bigger than probably what he's used to in the UK and I think he's adjusted and adapted his game to be able to um access more areas on the ground all right well done thank you yeah I like that thinking from the out Strikers and Jason Gillespie uh I'm sure he would have learned a lot from his first opportunity and and you know he will come back a better player and and the strikers seem like they've really identified some power hitting through those middle middle order batting positions is something they've really wanted to shore up yeah they have and look they know the ground really well Adelaide they've got a quality side quality three overseas players Adam hose is one of those guys that can hit to different areas played well with a northern super supercharges and we have a pass Harry pass James yeah we have yeah we got something in mind um that we're still working through so uh yeah we'll wrap that up uh outside of the draft but this is what's best for us at the moment so how does that work obviously the drafted players but we saw players coming we saw faf coming we saw Andre Russell coming in last year so there's work to be done after the draft so for those at home that are watching how's that process take place yeah I mean Andre is a perfect example of that we didn't take on draft night and we're able to work with him to get him in here for a particular set of games and he obviously had a huge impact so uh yeah look this is a plan that it's worked well for us before and we can do it again so we'll um yeah we'll be back on the phones uh later tonight and um and uh yeah finish off our list you still got the big man from Jamaica's phone number uh yes we'll uh we'll just see if we can coax him over here maybe and uh see if he'd like to come back here all right that'd be great Che Jes well that is a little bit of a surprise two passes so they've taken two players and passed on two of the rounds Renegades and so what what are they trying to do here sign someone outside the draft well that's interesting as I understand we have to get clarification here from GRE a Str but you can only get two overseas now can I get three once you've lost your draft you you've lost your point you can only get a local player so maybe that's what they're looking at I think so who knows what that will be so another pass has come over here from the Thunder coach uh look we're very happy with uh the local players we've got but it also gives you know the option to uh work out what we might need a little bit you know closer to the to the tournament so is that based on players availability potential injuries coming your way other people going in other squads for their countries that sort of the stuff that you need to factor in yeah exactly I mean the two guys we've got um neither of them will be there for the finals um so you know gives us the option to work out what we might need are there injuries um um you and where we might be able to you strengthen up so um we'll just keep that one for for a little later on Cheers coach thank you K Big K yeah so another pass there from the Sydney Thunder what's your reaction to that W I needed some clarification they say you can get more overseas and replace them but I pretty sure you can only replace the ones you've picked so we need some clarification there I could be totally wrong and if I am I am it is what is us but you know I'm pretty sure that once you've picked your overseas they're the only ones you're going to replace so that will be interesting see how that plays out we've got two sides in that now and we got three sides pick is in minimum of two but you can sign them later the Internationals bu is what I'm being told on the floor by uh those at Cricket Australia so a bit of a clarification there what are we doing sh uh we're going for rean armed we're going to add to our spinning stocks two Orthodox Spinners um left arm Orthodox and right arm and we're going to add him as a leg spinner to our mix bit of a high about the young man we heard his name mentioned over the winter here in Australia yes absolutely and we've been delighted by seeing his performances in England in the 100 in domestic cricket and as an emerging International we think he's going to fit our group beautifully perfect thank you thank you yeah nice pick there from the Sydney Sixers rahan armed the Englishman balls attacking leg spin so uh you know get getting wickets through those middle overs is just so important for teams so uh yeah I think it's a good good pick yeah good signing he's he's got a sh War him didn't he he did um so does give it a big rip and combat so he's one of those players that's a good sign they've done their homework there the Sixers as you'd expect yeah I I like that pick and now the scorches
