Lynn only featured in five BBL games before he was called for national duties. But he automatically is on the list because of the destruction he caused to the bowling side in those five outings.

He blasted 309 runs for the Brisbane Heat where he hit an astonishing 26 sixes. He got out only twice, therefore, his average was 154.5 and he was striking them at 177.5.

Amazingly he hit nine more sixes than fours and his 98 not out at the WACA is still being hailed as the innings of the tournament. In total, he had three scores of above thirty and each time he went on to get a big one.

#5 Brad Hodge - 286 runs

At 42, he is one of the oldest one still playing the game. His team, the Adelaide Strikers struggled to get going in the tournament but Hodge and Dunk were consistent throughout with their batting.

Whenever his team were in trouble Hodge tried to bail them out of the situations and succeeded on a few occasions but he failed to find a support at the other end. In his eight innings, he scored two fifties, with the best of 56.

Hodge tended to start slowly but grew into his innings, and his lowest score was 17.
