Perth Scorchers Big Bash odds and tips

The Scorchers usually start the season among the favourites in the BBL outright odds, but this year they are back in the pack at around $7 to win the title. On the flipside, they are paying $6 to finish bottom of the ladder.

This is a new-look Scorchers side with plenty to prove. New recruit Kurtis Patterson has big shoes to fill in the top order, while Mitchell Marsh will have to dig out a few big captain’s knocks if Perth are to have any chance of playing finals.

Jason Behrendorff and Andrew Tye will miss the start of the season through injury, which will give some emerging players a chance to shine. Matthew Kelly was excellent in his seven appearances last season, while Cameron Green has impressed with bat and ball for WA in the Sheffield Shield.

How do you whittle down such a successful franchise to only 11 players? Fortunately, many of these guys pick themselves – the Marsh brothers, Maxy Klinger and skipper Voges have contributed big runs year after year, while the seam trio of Behrendorff, Coulter-Nile and Tye is as good as any that has ever graced the Big Bash.

There are also some obvious selections from the archives. George Bradley Hogg was the most prolific spinner in the BBL during his five seasons with the Scorchers; South African star Herschelle Gibbs was a massive hit, smashing six half-tons in 16 innings; and WA stalwart Marcus North played a big role in the club’s early progress.

Mitch Johnson and David Willey might consider themselves unlucky to miss out, as might Ian Bell, Michael Carberry and Craig Simmons, but that’s what happens when you are up against the best of the best.
