Kenneth Burn - First-class Career

First-class Career

In his first-class cricket career, which lasted from the 1883-84 season through to 1909-10, he made two centuries, with 119 the higher. He also managed to take 14 wickets at the respectable average of 22.85 with his right-arm medium pace bowling. Burn was also Tasmania's first successful first-class captain, leading the team to six victories in the 14 first-class matches that he led them for. His win percentage as captain of 42.85% was equalled by his successor, Reg Hawson (who captained the side on fewer occasions) but has not ever been bettered. The current Tasmanian captain, Daniel Marsh has come closest with a current win percentage of 40%.
