Billy Stanlake

Last updated

Stanlake started the 2017–18 with injury again, getting a toe infection after neglecting to look after a cut in his big toe. The infection was severe enough that it could have caused the toe to be amputated. [32] [40] He returned in time to play for the Strikers in BBL|07, taking eleven wickets in ten matches for the side, [41] but he missed the final (in which the Strikers won the tournament for the first time) because he had been included in Australia's squad for the 2017–18 Trans-Tasman Tri-Series.

Stanlake began the tri-series in Australia's convincing win over New Zealand. Stanlake came on to bowl in the second over and took two wickets with his first two balls, then took another in the fourth over. After this New Zealand were 3/16 and Australia went on to win easily in a rain-affected match. Stanlake finished with figures of 3/15, only conceding one boundary in his four overs, and was named the man of the match for the first time in just his second Twenty20 International. [42] He was virtually unplayable and consistently performed, opening the bowling throughout the tri-series. [43]

In January 2018, he was bought by the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2018 IPL auction. [44] The following month, he was signed by Yorkshire County Cricket Club to play in the 2018 T20 Blast in England. [45] However, in April 2018, Stanlake suffered a fractured finger during an IPL match against Chennai Super Kings, ruling him out of the rest of the tournament. [46]

In April 2018, he was awarded a national contract by Cricket Australia for the 2018–19 season. [47] [48] In May 2019, Stanlake was once again signed to play in the t20 Blast in England, this time for Derbyshire County Cricket Club. [49] However, in July 2019, Stanlake was ruled out of playing for Derbyshire due to injury. [50]

In May 2022, he joined the Tasmania cricket team, after leaving the Queensland cricket team. [51]

Player profile

Stanlake is a right-arm fast bowler [3] who often opens the bowling. [10] His bowling is known for its impressive bounce and pace, as his height gives him a good angle for bounce and he can bowl at a speed of 150 km/h and swing the ball. [3] [43] He has mostly played Twenty20 cricket, being rested from longer formats due to stress fracture injuries. [43]

Stanlake is one of the tallest Australian cricketers of all time at 204 cm in height. [3] He is the tallest player to ever represent Australia in international cricket, [32] and the only domestic Australian cricketer to be taller than him was New South Welsh bowler Phil Alley, who was 208 cm tall. [52]

Personal life

Stanlake comes from a sporting family with his father Warren a former VFL player for Footscray [3] and his brother Jack formerly contracted with the Gold Coast Football Club, though he never played an AFL match. [11]
