The record
Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League
No club has made the Big Bash its own the way Perth have. 5 titles from 14 seasons, 99 wins from 163 matches and a win rate of 60.7% — the best of the eight, and not by a whisker. It has been built on control rather than carnage. Their highest total of 229 is ordinary by the standards of this competition; their bowling is not. AJ Tye has 157 wickets for the club at 8.01 an over, and MG Johnson has gone for just 6.15.
Home has moved once, from the WACA across the river to Perth Stadium, and they have kept winning through the change — 26 from 40 at the newer ground. AJ Turner leads the run charts with 2,242 at a strike rate of 144.83. The fixture that comes around most is against Sydney Sixers, 29 times for 16 wins. The one side the Scorchers have not solved is Sydney Thunder, who lead that head-to-head 11-8.
