Brad Haddin bleeds magenta which explains why Nathan Lyon’s shock move to the Melbourne Renegades cut so deep.
The Renegades announced Lyon’s signature last week but Haddin is still fuming about how the Sixers lost their champion off-spinner.
HEAR BRAD HADDIN’S STRONG COMMENTS ON NATHAN LYON’S BBL MOVE ON THE WILLOW TALK PODCAST:
“I’m absolutely thrilled to be part of the Melbourne Renegades,” Lyon said on the club’s wesbsite.
“(Marvel Stadium’s) a place where I enjoy bowling, it tends to spin a little bit. I’m looking forward to hopefully joining up with ‘Zamps’ in a really good partnership and putting a show on for the Renegades fans.
“I’ve got some really good friends who are part of the Melbourne Renegades, and that’s one of the reasons I wanted to come down.
“There’s a good group of senior players there who I’ve played a lot of cricket with internationally and also domestically, then you look at the younger guys throughout the roster – it’s a pretty powerful squad in my eyes.
“I think we need to set the benchmark high, shoot for the finals and make sure we go and try to lift the trophy.”
