Top End T20 Series to Feature Brown, Sutherland, and Boland

Top End T20 Series to Feature Brown, Sutherland, and Boland

By August 8, 2024 0

The Top End T20 series in Darwin is set to feature a host of rising stars and experienced campaigners, with Josh Brown, Will Sutherland, and Scott Boland among the notable inclusions.

Sutherland, who made his ODI debut for Australia last season, will lead the Melbourne Renegades Academy squad. The all-rounder has been recovering from a stress fracture of the back and will be eager to make an impact in Darwin.

Brown, who joined the Renegades from the Brisbane Heat, will be making his first appearance for his new club. The explosive batsman is known for his big-hitting abilities, having scored a stunning 140 off 57 balls against the Adelaide Strikers last season.

The Renegades Academy squad also includes Kane Richardson and Marcus Harris. Richardson is a regular member of the Australian T20I team, while Harris is a talented opener who has played for the Perth Scorchers in the past.

Melbourne Stars Academy will have the experience of Scott Boland, who will serve as both a player and bowling coach. Boland, who has represented Australia in Test cricket, will be making his first competitive appearance since April after recovering from a heel injury.

Hilton Cartwright, who is part of the Stars’ BBL squad, will also feature in the Top End T20.

The tournament will also feature teams from Northern Territory Strike, Adelaide Strikers, Perth Scorchers, Tasmania, ACT Comets, Pakistan A, and Bangladesh High Performance.

Jake Weatherald and D’Arcy Short, who both play for the Adelaide Strikers, will represent NT Strike.

The Top End T20 series is an important opportunity for young players to showcase their skills and for experienced players to get some match practice ahead of the BBL season.

Melbourne Renegades Sign New Zealand Star Tim Seifert for Two Years

Melbourne Renegades Sign New Zealand Star Tim Seifert for Two Years

By August 6, 2024 0

Melbourne Renegades have bolstered their batting lineup with the acquisition of New Zealand wicketkeeper-batter Tim Seifert on a two-year deal. The 29-year-old will be available for the entirety of the next two BBL seasons as the Renegades aim to improve upon their seventh-place finish last season.

Seifert’s signing means he will miss a portion of the Super Smash, New Zealand’s domestic T20 tournament, and will not be available for the white-ball series against Pakistan over the Christmas and New Year period.

With an impressive international record of three ODIs and 61 T20Is for New Zealand, Seifert brings a wealth of experience to the Renegades. He has also featured in T20 leagues worldwide, averaging 27.43 with a strike rate of 130.12 in the format, including three centuries.

In the recent Lanka Premier League, Seifert emerged as the leading run-scorer with 400 runs at an average of 57.14 and a strike rate of 135.13.

Seifert is expected to form a formidable top three for the Renegades alongside Josh Brown and Jake Fraser-McGurk. He is also a frontrunner to take over the wicketkeeping duties, a role shared by overseas signings Quinton de Kock and Jordan Cox last season.

“I’m thrilled to be here for the next two seasons,” said Seifert. “I’ll be able to enjoy the environment and get to know the club on a deeper level, which doesn’t often happen in franchise cricket. I’m excited to call myself a Gade for the next couple of seasons at least.”

Renegades general manager James Rosengarten expressed his delight at Seifert’s signing. “Tim gives us a double threat; we get a powerful and skilled batter plus an established international keeper and regular member of the Blackcaps program,” said Rosengarten. “We’re excited to welcome him into the club.”

The BBL draft will take place on September 1, with the Renegades holding pick numbers 2, 10, 23, and 26.

Melbourne BBL Clubs Appoint High Performance Managers to Boost Performance

Melbourne BBL Clubs Appoint High Performance Managers to Boost Performance

By May 13, 2024 0

Melbourne Renegades and Melbourne Stars have appointed Wade Seccombe and Clint McKay as their respective high performance managers in a bid to enhance their on-field performance.

Seccombe, who guided Brisbane Heat to the BBL title this year, will join Renegades later this month. McKay, a former Australian fast bowler, will transition from his role as Stars’ bowling coach to the newly created position.

These appointments aim to foster greater alignment between the BBL clubs and Cricket Victoria’s high performance program led by Graham Manou. Seccombe and McKay will focus on talent management, identification, and development, with an emphasis on T20 skills.

Previously, the BBL clubs operated independently in list management decisions. However, the new roles are expected to facilitate collaboration, as evidenced by the recent recruitment of Josh Brown by both Renegades and Victoria.

Seccombe’s immediate task will be to oversee the appointment of a new head coach for Renegades following David Saker’s dismissal. Shane Watson and Cameron White have been linked to the role.

McKay’s experience as a bowling coach and involvement in Stars’ draft strategy will be invaluable in his new capacity. He has also assisted Australia’s coaching staff as a stand-in white-ball bowling coach.

“It is really pleasing to have two people of Clint and Wade’s calibre joining our cricket performance program,” said Manou. “They will play a vital role in talent management and identification, with a specific focus on T20 skills and potential.”

Melbourne Renegades to Part Ways with Coach David Saker

Melbourne Renegades to Part Ways with Coach David Saker

By April 29, 2024 0

Melbourne Renegades are set to part ways with BBL coach David Saker after a disappointing season that saw them finish second last. Saker, who was contracted until the end of the 2024-25 season, will leave the club with a year remaining on his deal.

The Renegades have been the worst-performing team in the BBL since winning the inaugural title in 2018-19 under Andrew McDonald. Since then, they have had three different coaches in Michael Klinger, Saker, and now an impending new appointment.

Saker’s tenure began with a last-place finish in 2021-22, followed by a third-place finish in 2022-23. However, the 2023-24 season proved to be a step backward, with the Renegades winning just two of their 14 games.

The Renegades have already made some changes to their squad for the upcoming season, signing Brisbane Heat opener Josh Brown. They are also seeking a new high-performance manager to oversee the cricket program.

The Renegades’ struggles have been attributed to a number of factors, including a high turnover of players and a lack of consistency. The club has also been criticized for its lack of connection to the Victoria men’s program.

The Renegades will be hoping that a new coach and a new high-performance manager can help them turn things around and challenge for the BBL title in the future.

Melbourne Renegades Sign BBL-Winning Batter Josh Brown

Melbourne Renegades Sign BBL-Winning Batter Josh Brown

By April 11, 2024 0

Melbourne Renegades have bolstered their batting lineup with the acquisition of Josh Brown, a BBL-winning batter from Brisbane Heat. The 30-year-old has signed a two-year deal with the Renegades, replacing the retired Aaron Finch.

Brown emerged as a late bloomer in the BBL, dominating Brisbane grade cricket before making his mark in the professional league. In his first 23 matches, he has amassed 624 runs at an average of 27.13 and a strike rate of 149.64.

His breakout performance came in last season’s BBL finals, where he smashed a record-breaking 140 runs off 71 balls against Adelaide Strikers in the Challenger. He followed that up with a match-winning 53 in the final against Sydney Sixers, helping Heat secure the title.

Brown’s impressive form attracted attention from overseas T20 franchises, and he played in the Bangladesh Premier League with Chattogram Challengers. He also made his List A debut for Queensland upon his return from Bangladesh.

Renegades general manager James Rosengarten expressed excitement about Brown’s addition to the squad. “We’ve identified a clear role for Josh in our batting order which will have a new look this year,” Rosengarten said. “Josh possesses a good balance of aggression and composure, which we all witnessed in the recent BBL finals series.”

Brown is expected to form a formidable opening partnership with Jake Fraser-McGurk. He expressed gratitude to Heat for giving him the opportunity to play in the BBL but is eager for a new challenge with the Renegades.

“I’ve enjoyed my time with the Heat, they gave me my opportunity, for which I’ll always be grateful and have cherished memories including winning a BBL Championship last season,” Brown said. “But I am extremely excited for a new challenge and hopefully achieve the same success with the Renegades.”
