New South Wales, Sydney Sixers To Part Ways With Coach Greg Shipperd

Published by Webster

The New South Wales and Big Bash League (BBL) franchise Sydney Sixers has decided to part ways with coach Greg Shipperd despite a year left out on his contract. Notably, Greg Shipperd was re-signed in his role in November 2025. He was signed on a two-year deal in both roles until the end of the 2026-27 season. Sydney Sixers who etched their name in BBL winners’s list three times played in the BBL 2025-26 finals under Greg Shipperd’s mentor and New South Wales was within reach of making Sheffield Shield and One-Day Cup finals with four and three rounds remaining, respectively. Making the announcement official, New South Wales chief executive Lee Germon took centre stage and talked about how hard of a decision it was to let Shipperd go. “I believe that Greg and his coaching team have done a really good job of stabilising our side after a couple of difficult seasons and bringing in some good systems and processes, and now, in my view, was a time for us to go up another …

Perth Scorchers secure record-extending 6th BBL title after crushing arch-rivals Sydney Sixers in final

Published by Webster

Perth Scorchers continued their dominance and further cemented their legacy by defeating arch-rivals Sydney Sixers in the 2025-26 Big Bash League (BBL) final, claiming a record-extending sixth BBL title in front of their home crowd at Perth’s Optus Stadium on Sunday. Murphy’s Law played out for the Sixers, for whom nothing went their way in the final. After losing the toss, Moises Henriques’ side was invited to bat first by Scorchers captain Mitchell Marsh. The Sixers managed an underwhelming 132 in their 20 overs. Scorchers’ Jhye Richardson and David Payne were the pick of the bowlers, taking three wickets each to bundle out the Sixers for an under-par total in Perth. Scorchers’ openers Marsh and Finn Allen stitched together 80 runs for the first wicket, and the Men in Orange had little trouble chasing down the total and won the game by six wickets with 15 balls to spare to lift the trophy. The Scorchers were clearly the best side in BBL 2025-26, having finished at the top of the points table with 14 points …
