Regan SpearHOST
Outs, Matt Kelly, who had retired, and Finn Allen.
Regan SpearHOST
has gone to the Melbourne Stars.
Regan SpearHOST
That is a massive blow and one that we'll be needing to fill, whether that's with an import, I'd say that would have to be.
Regan SpearHOST
That type of talent and power hitting doesn't exactly grow on trees, so maybe an import is waiting in the wings there to come to the Perth Scorchers.
Jackson WarneGUEST
You know, achieve absolutely everything.
Jackson WarneGUEST
What else is there more to prove?" But then he played three, four years for Rajasthan Royals, around one or two years with Melbourne Stars, and then he did the Cricket All-Stars against Sachin Tendulkar.
Michael VaughanHOST
I, I was in on that.
Jackson WarneGUEST
So he played for nearly 10 years.
26 MINS LATER
Jackson WarneGUEST
...
Jackson WarneGUEST
Hampshire.
Jackson WarneGUEST
And he won championships and titles at every single team, uh, except for the Melbourne Stars, and now they're getting dissolved.
Jackson WarneGUEST
But yeah, he's, he, he loved that extra layer of responsibility.
Rob BarronGUEST
Like, if he bats like that forever, even if half the time he only faces five balls, it's fine.
Rob BarronGUEST
L- as I was saying the, the other day, I think someone like Melbourne Renegades who, who, you know, gamble sometimes on, on their overseas or, or s- s- you know, they don't have the Melbourne Stars money, let him have a go.
Rob BarronGUEST
So let's see what he does because look at what Babar did in the, in The Big Bash, right? Nothing.
Rob BarronGUEST
And, and, and as did some other Pakistan players going...
Regan SpearHOST
And a bit of BBL news as well.
Regan SpearHOST
The Melbourne Stars, they have secured all of their overseas picks today.
Regan SpearHOST
Already, of course, you actually don't have to pick one in this season's Big Bash League.
Regan SpearHOST
We've discussed that at length with the privatisation and everything else in between as well.
Regan SpearHOST
They're left-arm orthodox bowlers.
Regan SpearHOST
But yeah, maybe we're going a bit more spin-centric in this season's BBL at Optus Stadium.
Regan SpearHOST
So they've secured Finn Allen from the Perth Scorchers, have the Melbourne Stars, and have secured the Overton brothers as well.
Regan SpearHOST
That is Jamie Overton and also Craig Overton, both players.
Aman PatelHOST
I'm your host Aman Patel, and let's get straight into those headlines.
Aman PatelHOST
The Melbourne Stars have signed Overton, but which one? Well, both.
Aman PatelHOST
They have picked up both Craig and Jamie Overton.
Aman PatelHOST
The twins will join the team in this edition of the BBL after Jamie Overton had spent three seasons with the Adelaide Strikers, while it'll be Craig Overton's first time with the Big Bash League.
Jarrod KimberHOST
I try and do Wagon Wheel every week, but it doesn't always get there, but, uh, this one I've managed to fit it in.
Jarrod KimberHOST
And Person says, "When you were working for Team Scotland, um, CPL, how hard was it to determine batting order after you have your roster? Was it typically e- e- easy because you picked players based on assumptions, or was it often difficult because of gaps for similar cricketers in the squad?" Um, Melbourne Stars was very easy.
Jarrod KimberHOST
Scotland, I came into a team that was pretty much functioning.
Jarrod KimberHOST
I don't think I had anything to do with the squad being picked.
Aman PatelHOST
I think the best way to contextualize it is to go back to June, when Cricket Victoria made the announcement that they were going to merge their two BBL operations into one single franchise.
Aman PatelHOST
The Renegades and the Stars will come together and will be a newly renamed team, but under the management of the Melbourne Stars.
Aman PatelHOST
With the Renegades, well, they are going to be taken out.
Aman PatelHOST
They are going to be pushed away and sold off.
