I saw someone with a massive Melbourne Renegades ‘coffin’ type bag on New Street station this morning. Any ideas who?

What did they look like?

Kane Richardson played for the Renegades and I don't think is involved in the IPL - could it be him? There was talk of a second bowler being lined up, subject to clearance.

Fergus O'Neill?

Stocky. Shirt fair hair. Collar up, wearing a cap.

Just looked him up. Could have been him.

Tom Rogers

Don’t think so. Fergus O’Neill looks a very good shout.

Barnt Green have signed Lloyd Pope for the season- he plays for Melbourne Renegades.

He once took 7-30ish in an Under 19 World Cup game against England- victims included Tom Banton, Will Jacks and Harry Brook (1st ball)

I was there! Queenstown NZ. Liam Banks played for England. Trotty was the coach. There were about 20 people there, one of whom was Steve Waugh - his son was in the Aussie squad.

Lloyd Pope is neither stocky nor fair haired. He has a very slight build with a shock of ginger hair.

Have you seen recent photos of him?

Been bald as a coot for a while now I think

Don't think Pope played for Renegades so perhaps not him anyway!

Stocky build as described but now has very short hair- you mentioned he was wearing a cap.

Although he has played for a number of teams in Australia a Google search does show him playing for Melbourne Renegades Academy Team

Aamer Jamal is the latest name being mentioned. Joel Paris was lined up but as always is injured.

Joel Paris would have been terrific, left armer with a pretty amazing First Class record and plays in an extremely strong WA side.
