Cricket Batsmen from Australia

This is the player database. It holds profiles for cricketers from around the world, with country, team, playing role, batting and bowling style, and the career figures on record. Each profile is a single page for that player, so a search for a name lands on the facts rather than on a list.

Use the search box for a specific player, or the filters to browse by country, role or team. Career statistics are shown by format, and a format with no recorded figures is left out rather than shown as zero.

Where the information comes from

Profiles are built from public, openly licensed data. Career figures come from ball-by-ball match records, which cover recent decades rather than the whole history of the game — a player whose career ran mostly before that coverage will show a partial record, and the profile does not pretend otherwise. Photographs come from freely licensed sources with the credit kept on file.

Roles and styles

A player’s role — batter, bowler, all-rounder or wicket-keeper — is taken from the source record. Where the source does not state it, the profile says the role is unknown instead of inferring one from the figures.

Related pages

Each profile links to the player’s teams, and the record leaderboards link back to the profiles behind every figure. If you are looking for who leads a particular statistic rather than for one player, the records section answers that directly.

Comparing two players

If the question is not “how good is this player” but “which of these two”, the head-to-head comparison puts two careers side by side, format by format, from these same records.
