The team with the proudest record in T20 cricket, the Victorian Bushrangers will be the team to beat in the tournament. Though they lost this season's KFC T20 Big Bash to the NSW Blues, they have the best record among the participating teams, having won their domestic torunament for the previous 2 seasons in a row, since its inception. The team is led by the big hitting Cameron White and has batsmen Brad Hodge and David Hussey, allrounder Andrew McDonald and bowlers Peter Siddle and Shane Harwood in their ranks. This may be the only team to have more than one T20 centurion in their ranks, with Cameron White, Brad Hodge and David Hussey recording centuries. Cameron White held the record for the highest individual score before it was obliterated by Brendon McCullum in the inaugural IPL match in 2008.
Match Record:
Matches played - 20
Matches Won - 16
Matches Lost - 4
Players to watch out for:
Batsmen -
David Hussey, the younger brother of Mr. Cricket Mike Hussey, is tailor made for instant cricket and has the advantage of having played in India before. His record is in sync with his reputation and ability as he is the side's leading sixer hitter, with the best average and strike rate; Cameron White is in good form as seen in the Champions Trophy; Brad Hodge is the team's leading run getter and is a model of consistency with a century and five 50s for his side.
Bowlers -
Peter Siddle is the closest the Aussies have come to find someone like Glen McGrath; Shane Harwood is the leading wicket taker for this team.
