A left-handed batsman who is well suited to limited overs cricket, the highlight of Nathan Reardon’s first-class career came when he hit seven sixes in his 147 against West Indies at Allan Border Field in 2009.
His big hitting has always been his strongest asset, and was highlighted by his tournament topping 12 sixes for Queensland in the 2008/09 Big Bash.
To prove it wasn’t a fluke, he cleared the fence a further ten times in 2012-13 for his new franchise, Adelaide Strikers.
Reardon’s best season for the Bulls came in 2011-12, when he hit 403 runs at 57.57 in the Ryobi Cup, including a hundred against Western Australia and four half-centuries.
Reardon has made two Twenty20 appearances for Australia after being drafted into the squad to take on South Africa early in the 2014-15 season.
He shone in the short format for the Bulls in 2015-16, taking out One-Day Player of the Year at the Ian Healy Trophy.
Reardon represents Brisbane Heat in the KFC T20 Big Bash League.
Also a handy medium-pacer, Reardon works as a carpenter away from cricket.
