Right-handed bat · Right-arm fast-medium
SM Boland, a bowler, played ten BBL seasons for two clubs.
The arrival
SM Boland's first BBL season was 2013-14, with Melbourne Stars.
That first season brought 2 matches and 3 wickets.
The peak
The best season was 2020-21, for Hobart Hurricanes: 17 wickets at 7.68 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 7.59. Three seasons brought 12 wickets or more (2016-17, 2019-20 and 2020-21).
Club by club
2013-14 to 2018-19, Melbourne Stars. 30 matches and 35 wickets.
2019-20 to 2021-22, Hobart Hurricanes. 26 matches and 34 wickets.
2023-24, Melbourne Stars, second time round. 3 matches and 3 wickets.
3 spells with two clubs in all. The longest was with Melbourne Stars, 2013-14 to 2018-19. 2022-23 is missing from the record: a season without a BBL appearance.
How the wickets came
With the ball, 72 wickets in 1,352 deliveries, at 8.01 runs an over against a league rate of 7.47 for the same seasons: 0.55 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time, the price of a bowler who took wickets often.
