Luke Watkin (16)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 72 balls (SR 69), then 50 to 100 in just 50 (SR 100) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 9 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 17 matches (+2.5)
- ● Body of work — 54 imported matches (+1.1)
- ● All-round value (+5)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.57 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
- ✓ Safe hands — 31 catches in 54 matches (0.57 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting 67 × 30% · Bowling 67 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.55 for the level played (Rep Div 1 17 · Club 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 26 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- 1,052 runs in 48 innings, adjusted average 27.4, strike rate 67.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 0.78 per match at 21.0, economy 4.15, strike rate 30.3.
