Dunno why some media say it's not allowed on a "technicality". Huh??FTB was not on the Sixers' list! If the other teams allowed it, it'd be like allowing the Sixers extra spots on the list and extra salary cap space.
Strikers have Carey and Head... That's 'cos they were on the Strikers' list. They had to carry on when those fellas were unavailable and still fit them in their salary cap.
Scorchers have Jhye, Inglis and M. Marsh. That's cos they were on the Scorchers' list. They had to carry on when those fellas were unavailable and still fit them in their salary cap.
It's simple. It's not a "technicality"...
More whingeing... Whingeing article from M. Conn. Must be 'cos he's from Sydney. Unhinged!! FTB is not on the Sixers' list. It's irrelevant who he played for 10 years ago or 1 year ago...
At least S'OK recognised this... SO'K said they could let Cummins play for Thunder and Green for Scorchers.... That won't work... 'cos we don't even know the other Oz players want to play BBL. Just to make FTB and Sixers happy, you'd have to persuade the others to play...
Madness...
Wouldya believe it? Sixers have tried again to smuggle FTB Smith into their team. Huh??? What is their argument? Just 'cos they've got injuries, they should be allowed to put in someone not on their list?? Madness...
Maybe get back to them and say, okay, you can play FTB if the Scorchers can play Maxwell... Makes the same sense... i.e. no sense at all.
The Sixers are turning themselves into the Carlton of the BBL.
^ They've won the competition the last two years, so there's very little of Carlton about them.
What's with all the faux controversy? I don't understand why you can't just watch it (or not) and enjoy it (or not) for what it is. It isn't proper cricket. It's just a summer diversion. Most days, one struggles the next day to recall which teams one was watching the previous day.

So you should let teams cheat by playing players outside their list (and therefore outside the salary cap)??
Huh?? At the least, there's money at stake. And Slogathons are all about the money.
The "controversy" isn't mine. It's all over the media. Every Sixers player's been asked about it. Turner's been asked about it. Past players and journos have expressed outrage. They must have pea brains. Maybe they should pay more attention to AFL. Then they might understand stuff like list management and salary caps.

I have no interest and I don't care. There will be a game played tomorrow night. Each team will have the requisite number of players. It will probably be fun to watch but by Sunday week, I hope that I will struggle to recall which teams played, let alone who played for them.
As for taking any interest at all in their salary cap or selection issues, really why?
Since you pose the question, though, it'd be more fun if Maxwell turned out for one or other team (or, still better, for both) but that probably won't happen.

No one's being forced to take an interest in salary caps or selection issues.
It's just scary when there's crazy talk from cricket journos who should know better. All anyone needs to know is that salary caps and player lists exist and why. That's all.
Injuries are part of sport... And a lotta the Sixers' "injuries" are self-inflicted. So they should have to deal with them legally.
e.g. Silk was already carrying a hamstring injury. They rolled the dice.
SO'K is old and has a history of calf strains.
Hughes was warming up alone when he had his accident.
And then there are the COVID boys...
No sympathy for the Sixers from me.

^ I now hope not. They tried 3 times (as reported by cricket.com.au) to be allowed to cheat the system and play FTB Smith. It's appalling...
But good for FTB... Shows at least a BBL team wants him. The IPL teams don't.
Sixers will want a track with nothing at all for bowlers... If there's something for bowlers, J. Richardson, Behrendorff, Agar and friends could rip through them. Turner said M. Marsh will play, but may not bowl.
Odds:
Scorchers 1.34, Sixers 3.29.
