🥈 Lachlan Buckle (17)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 57 balls (SR 88), then 50 to 100 in just 49 (SR 102) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 48.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
40 of 50 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.18 dismissals per match across 56 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 2 · 4th grade 3 · 5th grade and below 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 56 innings at 22.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 25 wickets from 140.8 overs across 27 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.93 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
