Right-handed bat · Right-arm fast-medium
AM Hardie, an all-rounder, has played seven BBL seasons, all of them with Perth Scorchers.
The arrival
AM Hardie's first BBL season was 2018-19, with Perth Scorchers.
That first season brought 2 matches, 8 runs and 2 wickets. The best was still to come.
The peak
The high point with the bat was 2022-23, for Perth Scorchers: 460 runs at an average of 41.8, striking at 138.1 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 122.5, with 4 fifties, and a highest score of 90 not out. There were two seasons of 300 runs or more in all (2022-23 and 2023-24).
Measured against the league around it, though, the most destructive season was 2025-26: 220 runs at a strike rate of 156.0, 23 runs per hundred balls quicker than the BBL as a whole that year.
With the ball, the best season was 2020-21, for Perth Scorchers: 10 wickets at 8.37 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 7.59.
One club
AM Hardie has spent the whole BBL career with Perth Scorchers, from 2018-19 to 2025-26, although 2019-20 passed without an appearance.
Bat, ball and method
Across the career, AM Hardie has struck at 130.2. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 126.7, so AM Hardie has scored about 3 runs per hundred balls faster than the typical batter of the time. 53% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 102 fours and 55 sixes.
With the ball, 34 wickets in 663 deliveries, at 7.74 runs an over against a league rate of 7.56 for the same seasons: 0.18 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time, the price of a bowler who took wickets often.
Where it stands
AM Hardie has made 67 BBL appearances, the latest for Perth Scorchers in 2025-26.
