P.D. Salt

Who is he? Where did he come from? Never heard of him before.
Was he so good that he had to be flown in as replacement and started ahead of someone like Greaves who had a few decent knocks under his belt?

Salt was coming of a very impressive T20 Blast campaign with Sussex Sharks.

Not sure if Tridents had him on their radar during the CPL but I imagine after Duminy's injury they wanted to recruit someone with big game experience and Salt happened to be in the neighborhood.

He'll be playing Big Bash later this year too and he's someone to look for in the England setup soon enough.

12th man: Phil Salt (Barbados Tridents)

The Sussex batsman was vacationing in Miami on Saturday and on Sunday, the day of the final, jetted to Trinidad and joined Tridents as a replacement for the injured JP Duminy. He bagged a duck but by the end of night lifted the title with Tridents. As simple as that.


cricinfo named him as 12th man in their team of the tournament lol

Played youth cricket for Wanderers and a year for Harrison College before he returned to the UK with his parents. Was a greatly improved player after he spent a year at Sussex as a teenager. Now he is a step away from playing for the Lions.

Since this is franchise cricket, what are the rules re: replacement players? You can just haul in some one just because they are in the neighbourhood? What if ABD was around could he get a shot? smile

Someone brought that up during the game or just afterwards - it seems that there isn't any rule prohibiting such. It may behoove the CPL to address how such 'free agent' signings work, going forward. At least something like the NBA where a playoff roster must be declared before the matches start.

It is a amazing that the Tridents played a new player in the Finals, how bad were the other players on the squad who have some experience.

I think they were looking for big match experience since it was a final. Unfortunately due to poor umpiring we did not get a chance to see what he could do.

But but but Salt is from the Mother Country.

Big difference.

 
Bestian 2019-10-15 12:54:27 

Anyone following Phil Salt's exploits in England and the Big Bash would not question the decision to bring him in. It was a gamble that might have come off if he wasn't dreadfully given out, caught off his elbow!

I guess I need to follow more lickit cricket then. I swore his name on the roster was a horrible typing error
