Sams Makes Stunning BBL Debut

Here is how the Cricket Australia website reported the magnificent debut of Daniel Sams when the RP all-rounder debuted for the Sydney Sixers in a BBL thriller against the Sydney Thunder. “Two weeks ago, Daniel Sams wasn’t even a Sydney Sixers contracted player. Fast forward a fortnight, and the 25-year-old left-arm quick found himself standing with the new ball in hand in front of a packed Spotless Stadium crowd, with the Sixers under immense pressure as they tried to defend 9-149 in their BBL opener against their fiercest rivals. If the intensity of the situation affected Sams, it wasn’t obvious as he produced a starring performance, taking a remarkable 4-14 – including the wicket of a rampaging Shane Watson – to almost snatch victory for the Sixers.” Great effort.
