Joe Matthew Mennie (born 24 December 1988 in Coffs Harbour, New South Wales) is an Australian professional cricketer. He is a right-arm fast-medium bowler for the Southern Redbacks, the representative team of the South Australian Cricket Association and the Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash League.

Mennie represented New South Wales Country and NSW Under 23 and the Australian Cricket Academy Centre of Excellence side, but was unable to break into the senior side. In mid-2011 he was signed to a rookie contract with the Southern Redbacks. In October 2011 he made both his List A[1] and first class cricket debuts for the Redbacks.[2] In August 2016, Mennie signed with the Sydney Sixers for the upcoming Big Bash League.[3]

He was signed to the Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League Twenty20 competition, along with Ryan Duffield in December 2011 to replace the injured Mitchell Johnson and Mark Cameron. However, he didn't make his Twenty20 debut until October 2012, when he played in the Scorchers opening match against the Titans in the 2012 Champions League Twenty20.[4]

International Career

In September 2016 he was named in Australia's One Day International (ODI) squad for their tour to South Africa.[5] He made his ODI debut for Australia against South Africa on 2 October 2016.[6]

He made his Test debut on 12 November 2016.[7] Temba Bavuma of South Africa was his first test wicket.
