Sam Watts
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 80 balls (SR 63), then 50 to 100 in just 57 (SR 88) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 46 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.85 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 39 catches in 46 matches (0.85 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 10 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 78 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 33 catches + 10 stumpings + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.96 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 17.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
