With the opening match of BBL06 exactly seven days away on December 20th, here at Zero Wicket we've decided to make a list for the occasion!

The Big Bash League houses some of the best cricketers from Australia as well as overseas each year, but unfortunately for whatever reason, some of the big stars just don't live up to the hype.

We've decided to put together a short list of players who we know will make an impact during the upcoming season, so here are our seven superstars for BBL06.

6Chris Lynn (Brisbane Heat)

Chris Lynn hits a six during the Big Bash League match between the Brisbane Heat and Hobart Hurricanes at The Gabba on December 29, 2015 in Brisbane, Australia.

Another player to have toppled the 1000-run mark, Brisbane batsman Chris Lynn is one of the more exciting players to watch in the Big Bash competition.

Lynn certainly takes after the name of the tournament and has smashed 68 sixes in his 39 game career, 17 more maximums than Chris Gayle who's in second place.

The 26-year-old's average of 34.46 is quite impressive for a middle order batsman, and Lynn has been known time and time again to be able to get his side some much needed runs late in an innings.

With captain Brendon McCullum telling the media that he wants his side to be entertaining and play an exciting brand of cricket, this could scarily be Lynn's best season yet.
