With the opening match of BBL06 exactly seven days away on December 20th, here at Zero Wicket we've decided to make a list for the occasion!
The Big Bash League houses some of the best cricketers from Australia as well as overseas each year, but unfortunately for whatever reason, some of the big stars just don't live up to the hype.
We've decided to put together a short list of players who we know will make an impact during the upcoming season, so here are our seven superstars for BBL06.
1Andre Russell (Sydney Thunder)
Somewhat surprisingly, Andre Russell is the only foreigner on our list, which makes him the number one overseas player to watch in BBL06.
Through just 10 Big Bash games Russell has taken 16 wickets at 18.87, but has also added 185 with the bat at 23.12, both numbers that most players would be proud of.
He was important to the Thunder when they won their maiden title last season, although the 28-year-old is that good that stepping his game up to the next level isn't out of the question.
