Alex Carey in the same boat who has already been rewarded with national selection.
Is it just me or did anyone else on here not really care about the Strikers winning the BBL? It's great for the city that they won and was good to watch but in the end it just wasn't that relevant to me. I absolutely live and breath cricket and will always have it on the tv but the BBL just still feels cheap to me, they way the dress it up is cringeworthy. But if it introduces more people, especially kids that find the longer versions of the game boring I guess it's a good thing?

Feel 100% the same
The comp serves a purpose but who wins and loses means little to me

But it provides tv viewing during low ratings season. And captures the 6yos interest. And there are always a couple of up and comers who get national attention... on this occasion Short Weatherald and Jye Richardson.
I see them as the equivalent of preseason cups in footy. Interesting to watch but results forgotten very quickly.

You only really need 3 or 4 batters too.
It probably would have been worth playing a specialist fielder instead of Lehmann
