The move from Scorchers to Renegades in the last season worked wonders for Marsh, as he was the top scorer for Renegades, scoring 449 runs in 12 games at an average of 37.41. He has good numbers against Sixers too, with 228 runs in six innings at an average of 45.60.

Philippe was the third-highest run-scorer in BBL 09 with 487 runs in 16 innings. He was also named the Player of the Match in the BBL 09 final for his 29-ball 52.

Aaron Finch: Finch is Australia's top-ranked T20I batsman, and had a terrific BBL 09 too, scoring 363 runs in nine games at an average of 45.38 and a strike rate of 139.08. Finch's numbers at Bellerive Oval are also outstanding: 323 runs in eight games at an average of 40.37 and a strike rate of 146.81.

James Vince: Vince started the season with a terrific 41-ball 67. He was also the second-highest scorer for Sixers in BBL 09 with 323 runs in 15 innings.

Jack Edwards: Edwards recorded his highest T20 score of 47 in this season's opener against Hurricanes. He has been among the runs right from the trial games ahead of this season, with a 42-ball 61 and a 47-ball 60. His good form has made him the first-choice opener ahead of his skipper Daniel Hughes.

Later, in the T20 Blast, he picked up his form, scoring 173 runs at a strike rate of 144.17 and picking up nine wickets in 11 games.
