Tim Armstrong

Although remaining with the Thunder, Armstrong moved to Western Australia midway through the 2011–12 Australian cricket season in an attempt to play regularly at state level. He debuted for the state in the 2011–12 Ryobi One-Day Cup, in a match against New South Wales at the WACA Ground, which remains his only match at List A level. Batting at number six, Armstrong was dismissed for a golden duck whilst batting, but took the wicket of Ben Rohrer in New South Wales' innings, and finished with 1/15 from six overs. Although not offered a state contract by the Western Australian Cricket Association, Armstrong was signed by the Perth Scorchers in July 2012. At grade cricket level, Armstrong plays for the Fremantle District Cricket Club.
