Spencer Johnson’s stellar BBL13 season delivered the Brisbane Heat their first BBL title in over a decade, and earned him a call-up to the Australian white ball side during the 2024 winter. Last season he took 19 wickets in 11 matches with a best of 4-26 and an economy of just over seven runs per over. He will be the spearhead attack of this side once again, playing a key role in the Heat’s attempt at back-to-back titles. Johnson also looms as a great smokey top the wickets in the competition, with this BBL14 betting market exceptionally juicy.
Xavier Bartlett’s improvement throughout the BBL13 season also got him a call-up to the Australian white ball side, and also has him in the frame for possible Test selection in the coming years. A very different style of bowler to Johnson, Bartlett’s accuracy and control of swing makes him very difficult to score from. He will be the perfect new ball partner for Johnson at Brisbane this season.
Matthew Kuhnemann has become the frontline spinner for the Heat after taking 10 wickets last season with an extremely safe economy rate of 6.57 runs per over. He’s another very accurate bowler for the Heat, with several subtle variations in his deliveries, helping to limit scoring opportunities and take wickets. After travelling to India for the Border-Gavaskar series with the Australian Test side in February, his new skills and experience will be brilliant additions to an already talented bowling line up.
The Brisbane heat are $5.50 chances to go back-to-back and win the BBL14 competition. After losing devastating top order batter Josh Brown, the club will be relying on experienced players like Jimmy Pierson, Matt Renshaw and top-order partner Nathan McSweeney to score enough runs for their side’s bowlers to defend. The bowling attack has not changed, and only improved in the off-season, which will be a daunting prospect for other clubs in the competition.
Nathan McSweeney grew and matured immensely in the BBL13 season, scoring over 200 runs at an average of 27.75, including some key innings at pivotal times in matches throughout the season. The 25 year old will only continue to mature, but the key to his game will be developing the power to find and clear the boundary more regularly. If he can do this, he will lead the Heat in scoring this season.
The international star power and experience of this Heat All-Time XI are unlike most in the BBL’s history. With a batting order of McCullum, Hayden, Pomersbach, and Lynn, only two batters would need to get a start for a 200+ total to be on the cards. Supported by Peirson, Christian, and Cutting the Heat, they have incredible depth in their batting.
Christian and Cutting are also exceptional bowlers in their own right, with Mark Steketee taking the new ball, while Swepson and Mujeeb Ur Rahman round out an incredible XI for the Heat.
