NJ Maddinson
Left-handed bat · Left-arm orthodox
NJ Maddinson, a batter, has played fourteen BBL seasons for four clubs.
The arrival
NJ Maddinson's first BBL season was 2011-12, with Sydney Sixers.
That first season brought 9 matches and 275 runs.
The peak
The high point with the bat was 2017-18, for Sydney Sixers: 291 runs at an average of 32.3, striking at 143.3 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 124.9, with 2 fifties, and a highest score of 62.
Measured against the league around it, though, the most destructive season was 2014-15: 286 runs at a strike rate of 143.0, 21 runs per hundred balls quicker than the BBL as a whole that year.
With the ball, the best season was 2021-22, for Melbourne Renegades: 6 wickets at 6.93 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 7.41.
Club by club
2011-12 to 2017-18, Sydney Sixers. 54 matches and 1,336 runs.
2018-19 to 2020-21, Melbourne Stars. 31 matches, 392 runs and 7 wickets.
2021-22 to 2023-24, Melbourne Renegades. 20 matches, 305 runs and 6 wickets.
2025-26, Sydney Thunder. 3 matches and 72 runs.
4 spells with four clubs in all. The longest was with Sydney Sixers, 2011-12 to 2017-18. 2024-25 is missing from the record: a season without a BBL appearance.
Bat, ball and method
Across the career, NJ Maddinson has struck at 120.7. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 123.9, so NJ Maddinson has scored about 3 runs per hundred balls slower than the typical batter of the time, a trade usually made for longer innings. 61% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 184 fours and 90 sixes.
With the ball, 13 wickets in 215 deliveries, at 7.20 runs an over against a league rate of 7.47 for the same seasons: 0.27 an over cheaper than the typical bowler of the time.
Where it stands
On the all-time BBL lists, among 526 players, NJ Maddinson stands 20th for runs, 18th for matches played and 14th for sixes. The story is still being written: 2025-26 was another season with Sydney Thunder.
