BR Dunk
Right-handed bat
BR Dunk, a batter, played nine BBL seasons for four clubs.
The arrival
BR Dunk's first BBL season was 2011-12, with Sydney Thunder.
That first season brought 6 matches and 46 runs. The best was still to come.
The peak
The high point with the bat was 2013-14, for Hobart Hurricanes: 395 runs at an average of 43.9, striking at 141.6 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 120.1, with 3 fifties, and a highest score of 96. There were three seasons of 300 runs or more in all (2013-14, 2016-17 and 2018-19).
Measured against the league around it, though, the most destructive season was 2016-17: 364 runs at a strike rate of 161.8, 33 runs per hundred balls quicker than the BBL as a whole that year.
Club by club
2011-12, Sydney Thunder. 6 matches and 46 runs.
2013-14 to 2015-16, Hobart Hurricanes. 24 matches and 661 runs.
2016-17, Adelaide Strikers. 8 matches, 364 runs and 1 wicket.
2017-18 to 2020-21, Melbourne Stars. 39 matches, 621 runs and 1 wicket.
4 spells with four clubs in all. The longest was with Melbourne Stars, 2017-18 to 2020-21. 2012-13 is missing from the record: a season without a BBL appearance.
How the runs came
Across the career, BR Dunk struck at 124.3. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 123.8, so the scoring rate tracked the league's almost exactly. 52% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 141 fours and 54 sixes.
The legacy
BR Dunk made 77 BBL appearances, the last for Melbourne Stars in 2020-21.
