These bowlers are the opposite of the ones who look cluelessly, getting bashed by the batsmen. They make the batsmen think and beware.

BBL has been one of those stages where the bowlers who tasted success in spite of the fact that the tournament has been generally very batting friendly. Talking about the incentives, the Big Bash League (BBL) has been a platform for the bowlers to leapfrog others and achieve success on a grand stage, earn fans and move a step closer to Test glory. Performances here don’t go unnoticed and shining in the BBL almost guarantees selectors faith.

Talk about lethal bowling and Mitchell Starc stand way ahead of all the bowlers who are around at the moment. Injuries have troubled him in different forms but he has, time again and again, come back stronger to perform his duties of being the lead bowler for his team.

The strong fast bowler has the most potent yorker in the business and can bounce out the best pull and hook shot players. Facing him will be a challenge for all the opposition teams as he prepared to become the fast bowling lead of the Sydney Sixers in BBL 2016-17.
