Nathan Reardon

Nathan Jon Reardon (born 8 November 1984) is an Australian former professional cricketer. He primarily played as a batsman in limited overs matches, playing for his home state of Queensland from 2005 to 2016. He also played Twenty20 cricket in the Big Bash League for four different teams, and represented Australia in two Twenty20 Internationals in November 2014.

Cricket career Reardon made his debut for Queensland in its opening game of the 2005–06 ING Cup on 14 October 2005. He was selected as the team's "super sub" (an experimental rule allowing a player to be substituted into the match partway through) to replace the injured Chris Simpson. He was considered an all-rounder early in his career, combining his batting with medium-pace bowling, but later on bowled less and was included in the team purely for his batting. Reardon finished the competition with 403 runs at an average of 57.57, the second-most runs of any batter in the competition. He made his T20I debut in the first match of the series at Adelaide Oval on 5 November. His cap was presented to him by former Australian batsman Michael Hussey. He played his second and final T20I two days later on 7 November at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, and was never selected to play for Australia again. He played his final professional cricket game for the Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League in February 2018.
