As the Perth Scorchers celebrate back-to-back Big Bash titles, and the franchise's fifth overall, it's easy to overlook just how monumental this season's achievement is.
As defending champions, the Scorchers were always considered contenders, but after they stormed home against the Brisbane Heat in another classic Scorchers' performance, it's easy to forget what the club overcame to achieve this title.
The Big Bash introduced a draft ahead of the league's 12th season, which saw numerous Scorchers' favourites move to opposition clubs, including Liam Livingstone, Colin Munro and Joe Clarke.
