Wikipedia - Adelaide Strikers
The Adelaide Strikers are an Australian professional Twenty20 franchise cricket team based in Adelaide, South Australia that compete in the Big Bash League (BBL). Their home ground is the Adelaide Oval, and they play in a cornflower blue uniform. The Strikers were formed in 2011 to play in the BBL, succeeding the Southern Redbacks, who played in the now-defunct KFC Twenty20 Big Bash competition. Their sole victory in the BBL came in 2017–18.
Over their 11-year history in the BBL, they have had many effective and popular players on their team, from all-rounders such as Johan Botha, Michael Neser, Kieron Pollard, Ryan ten Doeschate and Chris Jordan, to high-scoring batsmen Travis Head, Colin Ingram, Chris Lynn, Mahela Jayawardene, Jonathan Wells, Michael Klinger and Jake Weatherald, to effective bowlers Ben Laughlin, Billy Stanlake, Rashid Khan, Peter Siddle, Adil Rashid and Kane Richardson, and finally keepers Alex Carey and Tim Ludeman.
The Strikers are currently coached by former Australian cricketer Jason Gillespie and captained by Matthew Short.
History
The Adelaide Strikers were formed in 2011, as a result of the formation of the Big Bash League. When the competition was first formed, each team had an opportunity to sign up players and build their lists. The contracting window opened on 30 June 2011 at 9 am and closed on 22 July 2011. Each team was allowed to sign up to 18 players, including up to two from overseas. The team's inaugural captain was South Australia captain, Michael Klinger, and the inaugural coach was Darren Berry, the then coach of the Southern Redbacks.
In the 2016/17 Big Bash, the Adelaide Strikers were rated the most entertaining team in the BBL, with a BBEI of 2177.
The Adelaide Strikers are known for their aggressive and attacking style of play, both with the bat and ball. They have a strong batting line-up, with players like Alex Carey, Travis Head, and Jake Weatherald capable of scoring big runs. Their bowling attack is equally impressive, with bowlers like Rashid Khan, Peter Siddle, and Wes Agar known for their ability to take wickets at crucial moments.
The team is led by Travis Head, who is a talented batsman and a natural leader. He is supported by a strong coaching staff, including head coach Jason Gillespie, who is a former Australian cricketer and a highly respected coach.
The Adelaide Strikers have a loyal fan base and play their home matches at the Adelaide Oval, which is one of the most iconic cricket grounds in the world. They have won the Big Bash League once, in the 2017-18 season, and have consistently been one of the top teams in the league. With a talented squad and a strong team culture, the Adelaide Strikers are always a team to watch out for in the Big Bash League.
