English opener Zak Crawley returns to the BBL with a fresh start at the Scorchers having previously played for the Hurricanes. The almost 2m tall batter will certainly embrace the pace and bounce that comes with playing at Optus Stadium and is arguably an upgrade from former Scorchers opener Cameron Bancroft. If Crawley brings his best form to Australian shores this summer, the Scorchers will be almost impossible to beat.
Aaron Hardie lit his name up in lights in BBL12 with his incredible batting performances. What is yet to be seen is his incredible skill with ball in hand. Such is the talent of this Scorchers squad, his bowling may not be required. Should he continue his form with the bat, and be required with the ball, he will show arguably more talent than his West Australian teammate Cameron Green.
Known as the “Wild Thing” in domestic cricket circles, he showed glimpses of his talent in BBL12 while playing just five games. The only question mark over Morris in BBL13 will be his inclusion in the Australian Test squad for the summer. Should he get a full BBL season, he will show the nation and the world just how strong the bowling stocks of Australia are.
The Perth Scorchers rightfully occupy favouritism at $3.50 in the BBL outright odds to take home an unprecedented 6th BBL title. The balance of this squad, with it’s dynamic bowling line-up and explosive batting order, may be the best XI assembled in a BBL season. Only injuries or bad luck will beat the Scorchers this season.
The all-time Scorchers XI may be the best side the competition has to offer. Fans of the league may remember just how skilled an opener Michael Klinger was, combined with the power and stroke play of Bancroft and the Marsh brothers. Inglis and Turner are incredible closers of a batting innings and Livingstone’s all-round ability makes the perfect addition to balance this side.
Ashton Agar has established himself as one of Australia’s best-ever limited-overs bowlers along with Tye as one of Australia’s best-ever ‘death’ bowlers. Behrendorff and Richardson round out a bowling line-up with incredible speed and bounce that makes even the best top-order batters struggle early.
