Superstar Chris Lynn hopes his return to form can prove the catalyst for a Brisbane Heat turnaround in the early stages of BBL|08.

Lynn began the new year with a spectacular 84 from 55 balls against the Sixers on Tuesday, however his solo act couldn't prevent the Heat from sliding to a third-straight loss to leave them stranded at the foot of the competition ladder.

It was the first individual score above 40 from one of the Heat's top five this tournament, and a drought-breaking effort for the skipper; prior to that knock, he had gone 21 T20 innings without a half-century.

"I feel OK," Lynn said. "It was a little bit of a slow start to the tournament but I'm finding my groove now, and hopefully the boys can ride off the back of that.

"It is early doors in the tournament – I can't keep saying that, but it is – but there are still a lot of positives to take out (of the Sixers loss).

"We've just got to take a bit more ownership – are we happy with (hitting) a six and then getting out? I'd like to see our boys bat a little bit more time and take ownership at the crease.

"And I think there was a couple of key moments in the match where we took a couple of steps backwards instead of being aggressive and throwing the first punch."

The Heat have built their identity around the ultra-aggression of senior batsmen Lynn and Brendon McCullum in recent seasons, but the pair was notably circumspect in the early stages of their partnership as they looked to rebuild against the Sixers; perhaps a concession that a method that has reaped seven straight losses stretching back to BBL|07 needed a modification.

McCullum made eight after being sent in at No.4 to provide some experience to the middle order, and while coach Dan Vettori stressed the Kiwis legend's position in the side is not under scrutiny, Lynn today suggested changes could be considered for Saturday's clash against the Scorchers in Perth, with out-of-form local boy Sam Heazlett likely to come under the most scrutiny after a tally of four runs from three innings to date.

Knocking on the door are former Test opener Matthew Renshaw and white-ball specialist Alex Ross.

"We've spoken about possibly a couple of changes," Lynn said. "But we're not too far off the mark so we don't want to go into panic mode … we're five, 10 per cent off individually, and we don't want to make big changes, because that could ruin the blueprint or the structure that we've planned over the last 12 months.

"So we'll weigh it up over the next couple of days, but yeah, potentially (make) a couple of minor changes."

The Scorchers head into Saturday's showdown at Optus Stadium – where Lynn is expecting the pitch to offer plenty for the fast bowlers – in a similarly dire predicament, having won once from five matches in BBL|08.

"We're excited by the challenge, we haven't played at this Stadium before," Lynn added. "So the boys are really keen, and a couple of guys in particular – (fast bowlers) Jimmy Pattinson, Mark Steketee, Josh Lalor, Brendan Doggett (for the chance to) bowl on a fast wicket."
