Mar 11, 2022 | Published by Shiva Reddy
McDermott became the first player in BBL history to score centuries in consecutive matches, plundering 110 not out against the Adelaide Strikers on December 27 before backing that up 48 hours later with 127 against the Melbourne Renegades.
In doing so, the 27-year-old became the first player to score three career BBL centuries, narrowly missing out on another when scoring 93 against the Brisbane Heat on January 8.
The Hurricanes opener ended KFC BBL|11 with 577 runs – the fourth-highest single season tally in BBL history - at 48.08 apiece and a strike rate of 153.86. He currently sits 90 runs clear of Adelaide’s Matt Short in the BKT Golden Bat standings, with Short due to line up in The Challenger at the SCG on Wednesday night.
