Sydney Thunder players to watch

David Warner

David Warner

This will be David Warner’s first full season in the Big Bash League, and Sydney Thunder fans have every right to feel good about that. The hard-hitting lefty is one of Australia’s most prolific batters across all format, but nowhere is he more damaging than in the T20 arena. If Warner shows any sort of form, the Thunder will be in the mix.

Lockie Ferguson

Lockie Ferguson

New Zealand quick Lockie Ferguson is a tearaway in the truest sense, regularly clocking over 150kph on the speed gun. He has more than just raw pace, however, and heads into his first BBL campaign on the back of some excellent international form. If he stays fit, Ferguson can be a real weapon for the Thunder.

Sam Konstas

Sam Konstas

Leading into the 2024-25 summer of cricket, no player filled more column inches than Sam Konstas. With multiple first-class hundreds to his name already, the 19-year-old from New South Wales has well and truly caught the attention of national selectors. BBL14 will give many sports fans their first look at one of Australian cricket’s most promising talents.


Sydney Thunder futures betting

Despite some healthy additions to the squad for BBL14, cricket bookmakers have the Thunder as outsiders at $8 to win the title. If their top-tier players fire, however, there is no doubt the Green Machine can make a deep run.

Sydney Thunder top batsman tips
How can you look past David Warner? As one of Australia’s most accomplished opening batters, especially in white-ball cricket, the Thunder’s new captain will be among the favourites to finish as top scorer for the whole BBL, let alone his team.

Sydney Thunder top bowler betting
Although not at his absolute best last season, Daniel Sams still finished BBL13 with 12 wickets at a 13.5 strike rate. He has plenty of variations and knows how to get batters out at this level, while it appears unlikely he will be poached for national duty this summer.


Sydney Thunder all-time XI

  1. Usman Khawaja
  2. Shane Watson
  3. Jaques Kallis
  4. Callum Ferguson
  5. Michael Hussey
  6. Jos Buttler (wk)
  7. Daniel Sams
  8. Chris Green
  9. Gurinder Sandhu
  10. Dirk Nannes
  11. Fawad Ahmed

The international star-power the Thunder have enjoyed over the years is some of the best the competition has witnessed. Jaques Kallis was incredible in the early instalments of the BBL, and Jos Buttler improved to be one of the most dangerous batters in world cricket. Usman Khawaja, Shane Watson and Callum Ferguson have all scored centuries for their franchise, while Michael Hussey also enjoyed success in the back end of his career.

The incredible skill and variation in the bowling attack of Daniel Sams, Chris Green, Gurinder Sandhu, Dirk Nannes and Fawad Ahmed makes this all-time Thunder bowling attack one of the strongest in the league.
