Sam Kerslake
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 96 balls (SR 52), then 50 to 100 in just 39 (SR 128) — more than double the tempo.

- ● Body of work — 19 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 55.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
14 of 18 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 19 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 17 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (3rd grade 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.58 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 21.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 1.07 per match at 19.1, economy 3.87, strike rate 29.6.
