Any Big Bash predictions?
I put an outlandish multi on highest runscorer and wicket-takers for each team.
Batting:
Patterson - Roy - McCullum - Weatherald - White - Paine - Klinger - Wright
Bowling:
Russell - Botha - Badree - Neser - Tremain - Tye - Boland (couldn't decide on Canes highest). Tremain at $10 seems really high.
The Scorchers look strong but I said the same about WA in the Matador and they were not that good.

The cream of the Crop in young talent played a SCG curtain-raiser to the Sixers game. They really are pushing Bradley Hope who when I knew was leaving SA that you must watch out for and at 17 is playing WA futures. He is Daryn Dupavillon's cousin who is an up-and-coming fast bowler in SA.

The batting one is looking reasonable although I regret picking Roy. I knew he'd go to India with England didn't look closely enough and obviously he missed a game too. Patterson just hasn't got the runs I expected while the remainder of my picks are looking reasonable, although Dunk and Lynn will be difficult for Weatherald and McCullum to overtake.
Bowling was always going to be really tough and I have no chance now.

More on the players :
Under 19
Will Pucovski (C)
Age: 18 | Skill: RHB | State: VIC | Club: Melbourne
U19 Champs | Runs: 650 | Av: 162.5 | SR: 89.5 | 100s: 4 | 50s: 1
Victorian run-machine Will Pucovski enters this match as the most in-form batsman in the country. With five tons in his last eight hits - four at the Under 19 National Championships and one for Melbourne CC’s 1st XI - the classy right-hander will be one of the keys with the bat for the Gilchrist XII. Pucovski can score to all parts of the ground, and looks especially strong on the cut, drive, or off his pads.
Max Bryant
Age: 17 | Skill: RHB, RAM | State: QLD | Club: Gold Coast
U19 Champs | Runs: 272 | Av: 34 | SR: 138.1 | 100s: 1 | 50s: 1
A powerful opening batsman, Queensland Bulls and Brisbane Heat rookie Max Bryant is the X-Factor at the top of the order. He models his game on Australian vice-captain David Warner, and a superb knock of 140 off just 75 balls - including 14 fours and eight sixes - at the Under 19 National Championships highlighted his ability to find the fence (or clear it) regularly.
Aaron Hardie
Age: 17 | Skill: RHB | State: WA | Club: Willetton
U19 Champs | Runs: 332 | Av: 47.43 | SR: 68.5 | 50s: 2
Western Australia’s under-19s title-winning skipper Aaron Hardie looks a class act with the bat, having barely missed out - averaging 47.43 per innings - at the Under 19 National Championships. A tall, powerful right-hander who can flick between gears when necessary, and knows how to clear the fence.
Param Uppal
Age: 18 | Skill: RHB, RAOS | State: NSW | Club: Fairfield-Liverpool
U19 Champs | Runs: 370 | Av: 61.67 | SR: 73.9 | 50s: 3 | Wickets: 7 | Av: 35.7 | Econ: 4.4
New South Wales product Param Uppal was one of the stars of the Under 19 National Championships, averaging more than 60 as a top-order batsman while also contributing handy overs with his off-spin. Likes to take the game on, and could be used as an opener or through the middle order, while his bowling will add another element of variety for the Gilchrist XII.
Ben Pengelley
Age: 18 | Skill: LHB, LAM | State: SA | Club: Roopena
U19 Champs | Runs: 359 | Av: 59.83 | SR: 86.1 | 50s: 4 | Wickets: 8 | Av: 21.8 | Econ: 4.0
The epitome of consistency at the Under 19 National Championships, South Australia’s Ben Pengelley performed day-in, day-out, despite his team’s inconsistency. A left-handed batsman who scores quickly, Pengelley not only scored four half-centuries, but also made an impact as a medium-pace bowler who can tie down the opposition.
Bradley Hope
Age: 17 | Skill: RHB, RAF | State: WA | Club: Claremont Nedlands
U19 Champs | Runs: 233 | Av: 38.83 | SR: 73.3 | 50s: 2 | Wickets: 4 | Av: 31 | Econ: 4.9
Hailing from South Africa, allrounder Bradley Hope was a welcome addition to Western Australia’s title-winning under-19s team. An exciting talent, Hope is an aggressive, hard-hitting right-handed batsman who also generates serious pace as a right-arm fast bowler.
Matthew Gilkes
Age: 17 | Skill: LHB, WK | State: ACT | Club: Western District-UC
U19 Champs | Runs: 322 | Av: 40.25 | SR: 75.2 | 50s: 3
ACT ‘keeper-batsman Matthew Gilkes likes to take the game on, and whether he slots in up the order in the talented Gilchrist XII remains to be seen. As a positive, left-handed bat who dons the gloves, perhaps it’s fitting that Gilkes finds himself in the team named after the great Adam Gilchrist. He scored three 50s at the Under 19 National Championships - including one in the final, highlighting his class with the bat.
Mac Wright
Age: 18 | Skill: RHB, RALS | State: TAS | Club: Lindisfarne
U19 Champs | Runs: 177 | Av: 22.13 | SR: 58.6 | 50s: 1 | Wickets: 6 | Av: 59.5 | Econ: 5.0
Tasmanian Tigers and Hobart Hurricanes rookie Mac Wright is well-suited to the T20 game, as a spin-bowling allrounder and an excellent fielder. An ACT product before signing with Tasmania, Wright didn’t have an enormous impact during the Under 19 National Championships, but with a number of variations will be looking forward to teaming up with fellow leggie Dylan Mullen.
Dylan Mullen
Age: 18 | Skill: RALS, RHB | State: NT | Club: Valleys
U19 Champs | Wickets: 12 | Av: 24.67 | Econ: 4.87 | Runs: 121 | Av: 17.29 | SR: 56.3
One of two leg-spinners in the Gilchrist XI, Northern Territory skipper Dylan Mullen will be looking to build on a strong Under 19 National Championships. His side went winless through the campaign, but he managed to pick up 12 wickets at a shade under 25 to be among the competition’s leading spin bowlers.
Xavier Bartlett
Age: 18 | Skill: RAF, RHB | State: QLD | Club: Gold Coast
U19 Champs | Wickets: 12 | Av: 20.25 | Econ: 4.31
Queensland Bulls rookie Xavier Bartlett is arguably one of the most exciting talents coming through the ranks. This summer, he’s lined up for the Cricket Australia XI in the Matador BBQs Cup - picking up wickets including Ed Cowan and Nic Maddinson - and also opened the bowling in a tour game against South Africa. A right arm fast bowler, Bartlett is a proven wicket-taker who will trouble the Ponting XII’s best bats.
Ryan Hadley
Age: 18 | Skill: RAF, RHB | State: NSW | Club: Blacktown
U19 Champs | Wickets: 9 | Av: 24.56 | Econ: 4.16
A tall fast bowler from New South Wales, there are shades of Josh Hazlewood about Blacktown product Ryan Hadley. Standing at 195 centimetres tall, Hadley can generate plenty of bounce, but also poses a threat as someone who can swing the new ball. Picked up nine wickets during the Under 19 National Championships, maintaining a tight economy.
Jason Ralston
Age: 17 | Skill: RAF, RHB | State: NSW | Club: Port Kembla
U19 Champs | Wickets: 15 | Av: 22.53 | Econ: 4.49
An exciting product from regional New South Wales, Jason Ralston has the pace to hurry the best batsmen. As a bottom age player at this year’s Under 19 National Championships, the right-arm quick picked up 15 wickets to help lead ACT/NSW Country into the final.
Under 17
Jack Edwards
Age: 16 | Skill: RHB, RAM | State: NSW | Club: Manly Warringah
U19 Champs | Runs: 301 | Av: 37.63 | SR: 92.3 | 100s: 1 | 50s: 1
U17 Champs | Runs: 248 | Av: 31 | SR: 79.5 | 100s: 1 | Wickets: 9 | Av: 12.9 | Econ: 2.8
New South Wales batting allrounder Jack Edwards received a big wrap from CA XI assistant coach Chris Rogers at the Under 19 National Championships, and looks well-suited to the T20 format. A strong right-handed opener, Edwards likes to take the game on and hit over the top, making him a dangerous proposition at the top of the order.
Angus Lovell
Age: 17 | Skill: RHB | State: QLD | Club: Sunshine Coast
U19 Champs | Runs: 248 | Av: 35.43 | SR: 54.1 | 50s: 2
U17 Champs | Runs: 489 | Av: 69.86 | SR: 80.4 | 100s: 2 | 50s: 3
The leading run-scorer at this year’s Under 17 National Championships, Lovell has shown he can make runs against the very best - passing 50 five times (and 100 twice) during the under-17s, and another two times at the Under 19 National Championships. A right-hander with the ability to shift gears, Lovell presents an imposing figure at the crease who can score off the front and back foot.
Jason Sangha
Age: 17 | Skill: RHB, RALS | State: NSW | Club: Newcastle
U19 Champs | Runs: 290 | Av: 48.33 | SR: 82.4 | 50s: 2
U17 Champs | Runs: 255 | Av: 36.43 | SR: 86.7 | 100s: 1 | 50s: 1 | Wickets: 11 | Av: 14.2 | Econ: 4.1
NSW Blues and Sydney Thunder rookie Jason Sangha is one of the most exciting batting talents coming through the Pathway, and has already played in the Matador BBQs Cup with the CA XI. Capable of scoring all around the ground, the right-handed Sangha is a proven performer on the big stage, with an international under-19s ton to his name. Has also developed into a handy part-time spin option, which could be useful at the SCG.
Cameron Green
Age: 17 | Skill: RHB, RAF | State: WA | Club: Subiaco Floreat
U19 Champs | Wickets: 20 | Av: 11.4 | Econ: 4.3 | Runs: 164 | Av: 82 | SR: 98.2 | 50s: 1
Player of the Final at the Under 19 National Championships, Green is the prototype T20 player - a fast bowler who can clear the fence, not unlike former England star Andrew Flintoff. The Western Warriors rookie claimed 20 wickets during the under-19 championships, including four in the final, and his innings of 51 off just 23 balls to win the tournament against ACT/NSW Country showed the power he possesses.
Austin Waugh
Age: 17 | Skill: RHB, RAM | State: NSW | Club: Sutherland
U19 Champs | Runs: 228 | Av: 38 | SR: 78.6 | 50s: 2
U17 Champs | Runs: 372 | Av: 74.4 | SR: 78.5 | 100s: 1 | 50s: 1
Pathways Manager Graham Manou has labelled the similarities between Austin and his father - former Test captain Steve - as “scary”, and the young NSW batsman looks a real player in the making. Waugh, a right-handed, middle-order batsman, scored an unbeaten century in the Under 17 National Championships final, and is a busy, aggressive batsman who takes the game on and scores quickly when he gets up and running.
Will Sutherland (C)
Age: 17 | Skill: RHB, RAF | State: VIC | Club: Prahran
U19 Champs | Runs: 257 | Av: 51.4 | SR: 101.2 | 50s: 2 | Wickets: 10 | Av: 16.3 | Econ: 3.9
U17 Champs | Runs: 265 | Av: 53 | SR: 79.1 | 50s: 2 | Wickets: 6 | Av: 25.5 | Econ: 3.7
Over the past two months, Ponting XII captain Will Sutherland has stepped forward as a name to look out for. A right-handed allrounder in the Mitch Marsh mould, Sutherland has more than held his own at both the Under 17 and Under 19 National Championships, averaging more than 50 with the bat across both tournaments. As captain of the CA XI at the under-19 championships, Sutherland produced arguably the best all-round performance, smashing 95 off 73 balls and picking up 5-27 against Queensland.
Harrison Wood
Age: 17 | Skill: RHB | State: QLD | Club: Ipswich-Logan
U19 Champs | Runs: 364 | Av: 45.5 | SR: 77.4 | 50s: 3
A classy batsman from Queensland, Harrison Wood was among the leading run-scorers at the Under 19 National Championships, finishing with 364 runs in eight innings. A strong player off the front and back foot, Wood’s driving through the off-side and ability to advance down the wicket to spinners brought him plenty of runs at the carnival.
Jarrod Freeman
Age: 16 | Skill: RHB, RAOS | State: TAS | Club: Mowbray
U19 Champs | Wickets: 4 | Av: 50.5 | Econ: 4.2
U17 Champs | Runs: 300 | Av: 43.29 | SR: 79.7 | 50s: 2 | Wickets: 9 | Av: 33.1 | Econ: 4.1
It’s fitting that there’s a Mowbray CC product in the Ponting XII, given that’s the home of the great Ricky Ponting - and off-spinning allrounder Jarrod Freeman is certainly an exciting talent in his own right. An economical bowler that has proved tough to get away, Freeman also has the ability to contribute quick runs with the bat, and has shown some flashes of brilliance in the field.
Patrick Rowe (wk)
Age: 15 | Skill: RHB, WK | State: VIC | Club: Melbourne
U19 Champs | Runs: 111 | Av: 27.75 | SR: 66.1
U17 Champs | Runs: 327 | Av: 40.88 | SR: 69.7 | 50s: 4
The youngest player involved in the Pathways BBL Curtain Raiser, 15-year-old keeper-batsman Patrick Rowe looks to have a bright future in the game. Was one of the leading run-scorers at the Under 17 National Championships, passing 50 on four occasions, and showed his ability to compete with players up to four years his senior at the under-19 championships earlier this month.
Lloyd Pope
Age: 17 | Skill: RALS, RHB | State: SA | Club: Kensington
U19 Champs | Wickets: 21 | Av: 16.33 | Econ: 5.15
U17 Champs | Wickets: 18 | Av: 14.67 | Econ: 3.47
South Australian leg-spinner Lloyd Pope has made his mark as one of the most exciting prospects in the country, as the leading wicket-taker at both this year’s Under 17 and Under 19 National Championships. With a big bag of tricks, Pope has claimed 39 wickets across both carnivals, proving his match-winning abilities - and attracting the attention of the King of Spin, Shane Warne.
Zak Evans
Age: 16 | Skill: RAF, RHB | State: VIC | Club: Ringwood
U19 Champs | Wickets: 5 | Av: 49.20 | Econ: 4.70
U17 Champs | Wickets: 10 | Av: 22.50 | Econ: 5.08
Victorian fast bowler Zak Evans is one of the Ponting XII’s strike weapons, as a bowler who can generate real pace. Capable of swinging the ball both ways, Evans was at his destructive best during the Under 17 National Championships, honing in at the stumps to trouble the competition’s best batsmen.
Mitchell Perry
Age: 16 | Skill: RAF, LHB | State: VIC | Club: Monash Tigers
U19 Champs | Wickets: 10 | Av: 17.30 | Econ: 3.79
U17 Champs | Wickets: 5 | Av: 23 | Econ: 2.67
Perhaps one of the ‘quiet achievers’ during the Under 17 and Under 19 National Championships, Victorian quick Mitch Perry has emerged as a probing and economical seam option who bowls a consistent line and length. He impressed at the Under 19 National Championships, picking up 10 wickets at an average of just 17.30 as a 16-year-old, and also picked up eight wickets in his Premier 1st XI debut for Monash Tigers earlier this summer.

This the bloke on the Stars list? If so, it's the fella a little bit was written about last year, as he took a big bag in Sydney grade and Shane Watson couldn't pick his wrong'un.

I get the feeling SOKKY must have come across as a bit up himself earlier on which counted against him for test selection and now he's overcompensating by blowing wind up the arse of anyone who bowls under 90kmh to look more like a team player.
I umpired him a few years back in U16s. He bowled 20-odd overs unchanged in the second dig, on a damp artificial pitch, and they couldn't score a run off him as he took 8 for the match. IIRC he was considered more a bat in his younger days (and still looked a class above in that game), but then his leggies came on and he became increasingly bowling-centric.
Don't know the kid personally, so can't speak too much in terms of character.
