Big Bash League Bowler Rankings December 27th

1. Nathan Lyon (Sydney Sixers) — Bagged a five for in the Sixers dominant win over the Hurricanes and has bowled well to go at just over a run a ball as a spinner in two games. Leads the Big Bash with 6 wickets, unfortunately for the Sixers they may not get much more use out of Lyon as his test commitments may well be complemented by selection in the Australian teams for ODI’s & T20.
2. Andre Russell (Sydney Thunder) — Possibly the most destructive T20 cricketer of the moment, can tear apart an opposition with bat and ball. Hasn’t quite hit his stride with the bat but has certainly been at his best with the ball. Destroyed the Sixers with his strike bowling.
3. Nathan Rimmington (Melbourne Renegades) — Bowled extremely well to claim four wickets in the Renegades loss to the Sixers and almost did enough to keep his side in the game.
4. Adil Rashid (Adelaide Strikers) — Probably the most consistent bowler thus far in the big bash, picking up two wickets in each match he has rolled the arm over so far and done so at an average economy of only a run a ball.
5. Andrew Tye (Perth Scorchers) — Has picked up wickets in both games thus far, but has been more expensive than the likes of Rashid going at almost eight an over.
6. Ben Laughlin (Adelaide Strikers) — Has bowled well but was quite expensive in the Strikers first match, but certainly tightened the reins in their second match and looks to be improving further.
7. Andrew Fekete (Brisbane Heat) — Has been one of the few bright spots for the Brisbane Heat alongside Chris Lynn. Has shown he can get wickets, with at least one in each of the Heat’s three matches so far, however his economy rate sitting above ten is a bit of a concern.
8. Shane Watson (Sydney Thunder) — Watson has certainly shown why he is so highly valued by franchises in other domestic T20 leagues around the world as a strike all rounder. Has bowled well and taken his opportunities when tossed the ball by Michael Hussey.
9. David Willey (Perth Scorchers) — The English import has shown promise both with bat and ball. Has broken through for wickets in both appearances so far but the most impressive factor of his bowling has been the miserly way he has conceded runs, going at less than five an over.
10. Clint McKay (Sydney Thunder) — Similar to Willey, in that he has contributed with a few wickets but his economy rate has been his biggest weapon thus far at just over a run a ball.
