keep an eye on Brunt, DC, because she isn't in the Scorchers squad yet, or at least I don't think she is. Presumably they are keeping their powder dry and waiting to see whether she has recovered from the injury that has kept her out of the world cup. If she does, I have no doubt they'll sign her... but watch out in case they don't

do you know when full squads will be released.

Most franchises only have a couple of slots to fill, which perhaps means that they've been waiting to see who has performed in the world cup, and who is fully fit. If I was a betting man, which I'm not, I'd imagine they 'll be looking to finalise their squads after the final on Saturday

assuming the official site again is the best place to get the best squad then.
not going to lie love CA sites they are well informed on the squad, plus they do often have a piece to preview each teams and players to look out for far better than cricinfo half finished squads.

the CA site has the same squads as crapinfo atm, but yes.... I like the CA site too

MIchel Barnier has just been on the phone to remind me that "thee clock eez ticking"

looks as though crapinfo have the finalised 15 player squads now

Jonesy has seen her WC exploits earn her a gig with Perth

Mandhana goes to Hobart

Priest goes to Thunder

I'm in

Sophie Devine AS
Thalia McGrath AS
Delissa Kimmince BH
Sophie Molineux MR
Erin Osborne MS
Heather Graham PS
Dane van Niekerk SS
Ashleigh Gardner SS
Ellyse Perry SS
Harmanpreet Kaur ST
Stafanie Taylor ST

unless I change my mind, of course

There are another 10 players who I would like to include in my starting XI, so I've had to make some hard choices
