Samantha Arscott (19)
Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 30 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 53 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.13 catches per match over 53 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.53.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.54 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · 2nd grade 19 · 3rd grade 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 15.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 47 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 1.04 per match at 17.5, economy 3.53, strike rate 29.8.
