DP Hughes
Left-handed bat
DP Hughes, a batter, has played twelve BBL seasons for two clubs.
The arrival
DP Hughes's first BBL season was 2012-13, with Sydney Sixers.
That first season brought 3 matches and 75 runs. The best was still to come.
The peak
The high point with the bat was 2018-19, for Sydney Sixers: 399 runs at an average of 30.7, striking at 127.1 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 121.1, with 4 fifties, and a highest score of 62. There were three seasons of 300 runs or more in all (2016-17, 2018-19 and 2020-21).
Club by club
2012-13, Sydney Sixers. 3 matches and 75 runs.
2013-14 to 2014-15, Sydney Thunder. 10 matches and 153 runs.
2016-17 to 2025-26, Sydney Sixers, second time round. 90 matches and 2,246 runs.
3 spells with two clubs in all. The longest was with Sydney Sixers, 2016-17 to 2025-26. 2015-16 and 2024-25 are missing from the record: seasons without a BBL appearance.
How the runs came
Across the career, DP Hughes has struck at 119.7. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 125.3, so DP Hughes has scored about 6 runs per hundred balls slower than the typical batter of the time, a trade usually made for longer innings. 51% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 229 fours and 57 sixes.
Where it stands
On the all-time BBL lists, among 526 players, DP Hughes stands 12th for runs and 23rd for matches played. The story is still being written: 2025-26 was another season with Sydney Sixers.
