Dan Christian | Free beer for ‘helpers’ on the field; Aussie player with strange offer – News18 Malayalam

Covid (19) has been ruled out of the final XI with a hamstring injury. Christian tweeted that he could not field 11 players in the match as the Sydney Sixers advanced to the BBL Final in the Australian T20 League Big Bash (BBL). In the final battle with the Perth Scorchers, the star came on the scene with an offer to give free beer to ‘helpers’.

‘A notice to those in Melbourne. There is an opportunity to play a cricket match tomorrow night. My team is struggling to field 11 players who are not injured or injured. Those wishing to play can warm up at Marvel Stadium tomorrow at 6.30pm. Beer will be available free of charge after the competition. “Test cricketers are not considered,” he tweeted.

Shout out to anyone* in Melbourne that wants a game of cricket tomorrow night. My team is struggling to get 11 covid free, fit players on the park. Warm up starts at 6.30pm at Marvel Stadium.

Free beer afterwards, potentially out of a large cup.

DM if keen

*no test cricketers

Christian’s tweet went viral in no time. Former South African A.B. De Villiers, England pace bowler Joffre Archer and others responded to the tweet by saying, “I am ready to play if I promise to bowl four overs.” Archer’s tweet was about whether he had to pay to be replaced.

The Sydney Sixers qualified for the final by defeating the Adelaide Strikers in the Challenger match last night. Shortly before the match, Kovid confirmed to team wicketkeeper-batsman Joshua Phillips that the Sixers had dropped the final XI for the match, including co – coach Jay Lenton. Sydney won the toss and elected to field. Care was unbeaten on 98 off 58 balls with 10 fours and two sixes. Sydney chased down the Adelaide Strikers’ 168-run target with six wickets in hand in the final over.

The Sixers will face the same situation in the semi – finals on Friday. Australian Test team vice-captain Steve Smith has offered to play for the Sydney Sixers, but Cricket Australia has refused. In the case of Kovid, the board is of the view that a replacement will be allowed only from the specially prepared local replacement player pool. Dan Christian also posted on Twitter that it was a ‘blow’ for Cricket Australia.

The lack of players has become a headache for the team. Moises Henriques, Steve O’Keefe, Jordan Silk and Dan Hughes have all been ruled out with injuries. Joshua Philip, Jack Edward and Mickey Edward are currently out of the team due to Kovid injuries.
