Melbourne Stars players to watch
Glenn Maxwell
Glenn Maxwell’s astonishing double century against Afghanistan in the 2023 Men’s Cricket World Cup will have Stars fans desperate to see him bring the “Big Show” back to the BBL. His leadership and unrivalled ability with the bat will be heavily leaned on this season. The loss of Harry Brook will further accentuate the necessity for Maxwell to deliver big scores consistently this season.
Campbell Kellaway
Campbell Kellaway is an up-and-coming left-hander from Victoria that presents a similar challenge for bowlers that Heat batter Matt Renshaw does. Kellaway’s height and reach make him incredibly difficult to bowl to, and his added power will be much needed for the Stars. Should he continue his development, he will have a key role to play in this team’s middle order.
Scott Boland
Scott Boland’s cult status will only grow further if he has a greater impact in the BBL competition. Boland’s style of bowling is like Josh Hazelwood, who has been at times the best white-ball bowler in international cricket. Depending on his availability throughout the competition, if Boland can find a similar vein of form to Hazelwood for the Stars, he could be the vital leader this bowling attack needs.
Tips for betting on the Melbourne Stars
The Stars are ranked as the bookmaker outsiders to win the BBL13 competition at +900 based on their years of inconsistency and failure. The added issues of injury that can surround Stoinis and Coulter-Nile only compact the problems in the depth of their squad.
- Top Melbourne Stars Betting Odds
Marcus Stoinis has struggled in recent years compared to the beginning of his career in the BBL at the Stars. At his best, no one hits the ball harder or further than Stoinis, and no ground is big enough, nor can any bowling attack contain him. Stoinis’ success will be dependent on a promotion back to the top of the order where he has more opportunities to bat against a harder ball. - Melbourne Stars Bowling Odds
Scott Boland will be tasked with leading this bowling attack in the early overs of each innings. His success will be dependant on his incredible consistency with his length and line along with his ability to swing the ball and the opposition batters lack of patience to sustain any early pressure.
Melbourne Stars all-time XI
The Melbourne Stars have had some of the game’s biggest names don their colours, creating huge blockbuster appeal for the BBL since the inception of the competition.
This is the all-time Stars XI based on BBL performances:
- Marcus Stoinis
- Luke Wright
- Kevin Pietersen
- David Hussey
- Glenn Maxwell
- Ben Dunk (WK)
- James Faulkner
- John Hastings
- Nathan Coulter-Nile
- Adam Zampa
- Scott Boland
The national and international superstars that have played for the Stars in the BBL is unrivalled by any franchise in the competition. Stoinis has been, at times, the most destructive opening batter in the BBL along with Luke Wright some years ago. Pietersen and David Hussey are the perfect top order pairing with their differing batting styles, supported by the hard-hitting abilities of Maxwell, Dunk, Faulkner and Hastings.
The bowling line-up of Faulkner, Hastings and Coulter-Nile at their peak is one of the most talented trio’s seen in the BBL, supported by Boland and Adam Zampa, the best leg-spinner Australia has produced since the great Shane Warne.
