Brock O’Brien
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 28 balls (SR 179), then 50 to 100 in just 22 (SR 227) — more than double the tempo.

- ● Body of work — 44 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.25 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 34.5.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 162.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 44 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting 85 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 9 catches + 2 stumpings + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.30 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,219 runs in 39 innings, adjusted average 34.5, strike rate 88.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 16 wickets from 60.0 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.36 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
