BBL doesn’t care about technique or textbook shots.
Here? You swing hard, you connect — you become a legend.
Let’s rewind to some of the wildest, most WTF knocks this league has ever seen. 🧨
🥵 1. Glenn Maxwell – 154 (64) vs Hurricanes, BBL 2022*
Bro.
This wasn’t a cricket knock.
This was pure violent art.
- 22 fours. 10 sixes.
- SR of 240+.
- Reverse ramps, switch hits, no-look drives — all delivered like he was playing PS5.
He didn’t just break records, he broke physics.
This knock turned Marvel Stadium into Maxwell Stadium.
🧠 Fun Fact: It’s the highest individual score in BBL history.
📉 Side Note: Hurricanes bowlers haven’t recovered since.
💥 2. Marcus Stoinis – 147 (79) vs Sixers, BBL 2020*
Before Maxy’s carnage, it was Stoinis who wore the crown.
This knock was:
- Pure power 💪
- Zero risks
- Brutal 4s and 6s every second over
He carried the whole team solo — Stoinis at striker’s end = scoreboard on drugs.
It was one of those games where the ball needed counselling.
💣 3. Chris Lynn – 101 (51) vs Hurricanes, BBL 2015
OG Big Bash beast.
Lynn was the first poster boy of BBL brutality.
This knock?
- Felt like every shot was a six
- Deep midwicket took serious punishment
- Commentators ran out of adjectives
Lynn in BBL is basically a cheat code.
He’s the reason Brisbane crowd carried helmets and hope.
🧨 4. Jake Fraser-McGurk – 70 (20) vs Stars, BBL 2023
This wasn’t a century.
This was raw teenage rage unleashed on professional bowlers.
- 70 off just 20 balls
- SR of 350+
- And every shot was clean, clinical violence
At just 21, this kid showed the world you don’t need experience, just audacity.
“Jake FM” was basically EDM with a bat.
🔥 5. Travis Head – 101 (53) vs Sixers, BBL 2015*
This one’s underrated but absolutely wild.
- Strikers needed 50+ in the last 4 overs
- Head said “Cool. Let me just go God Mode.”
He scored 45 runs in the last 12 balls
And chased it down with an over left.
BBL royalty moment for one of Australia’s most low-key power hitters.
💬 Final Word
BBL batting is different.
It’s not pretty. It’s not polite.
It’s just raw firepower and pure chaos.
When someone catches fire in Big Bash,
You better be watching — or you’ll regret it forever.
