Career threads
Beyond the numbers
Over 7,500 career runs across all formats
Wade has accumulated 7,540 runs from 294 matches at a career batting average of 28.67. That span covers Test cricket, ODIs, T20 Internationals and a substantial domestic T20 career, making him one of the more versatile batting records in Australian cricket.
BBL is his standout format by strike rate
In 111 Big Bash League matches, Wade averages 30.37 and strikes at 141.84. His highest strike rate across any competition. He has scored 2,946 BBL runs in total, giving him a deep sample size to back those numbers up.
Strong numbers against Sri Lanka and India
Wade averages 35.45 against Sri Lanka across 25 matches, his best return against any Test-playing nation. Against India over 37 matches he averages 31.54, making those two opponents the clearest bright spots in his international head-to-head record.
The Gabba is his best major venue by average
Across 17 matches at the Gabba, Wade averages 42.92. The highest of any venue where he has played more than five times. The MCG and SCG also show healthy returns, with averages of 33.44 and 33.78 respectively from a combined 54 appearances.
Recent BBL form dominated by brief, high-tempo cameos
Nine of his last ten innings have come in the BBL for the Hobart Hurricanes. His 43 not out from 20 balls against Melbourne Renegades on 29 December 2025 is the standout of that run, though his scores have been variable and several innings have ended in single figures.
