Get the latest Big Bash League player stats. We’ll give you a rundown of the best wicket-takers in BBL history. Here’s a Look Down Below

In cricket, the bowler’s job is as crucial as the batter’s. The bowlers’ role is emphasized when the opposition tries to score quickly, particularly in the T20 format. Specialist bowlers in the Twenty20 format have responsibilities beyond just picking up wickets. And he must put an end to the runs being scored, too.
Because of this, only professional bowlers can significantly affect the outcome of a game. The bowler’s performance often decides the game’s development, as we know from experience. That’s right, folks; the T20 World Cup will be over by the time the next season of the Big Bash League begins in early 2019. It follows that there will be more thrilling contests to watch.
