Sydney Sixers star Dan Christian has jokingly offered "free beer" to anyone interested in playing for his side in the Big Bash League final, with the team ravaged by Covid and injury concerns.
Star man Josh Philippe and brothers Jack and Mickey Edwards all missed their semi-final victory over Adelaide Strikers due to Covid and Daniel Hughes was absent with ankle injury.
As a result, assistant coach Jay Lenton was drafted into the playing XI for his first professional game in two years.
