To keep you informed ahead of the BBL|12 SuperCoach season, we’ll roll out a weekly form guide from state and domestic cricket, pointing out good and bad form and injuries.
All this points to our new BBL|12 Form page which includes all the statistics from each state’s Premier Cricket/First Grade competitions.

Hurricanes draftee Shadab Khan was the undoubted BBL star at the World Cup for Pakistan, while Sixers draftee Chris Jordan scored some excellent SC points in the semis and final. We’ve converted all the performances into SC BBL scores via this link.
