🥈 Thomas Bayo (17)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 64 balls (SR 78), then 50 to 100 in just 52 (SR 96) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 7 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 6 matches (+2.4)
- ● Regional representative — 26 matches (+3.9)
- ● Body of work — 56 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 63.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
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.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 143.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.60.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 56 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 7 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting 56 × 30% · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.50 for the level played (Rep Div 1 11 · 2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 15 · Club 3 · 4th grade 2 · 5th grade and below 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 35 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 5 run outs (4 direct, 1 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- 799 runs in 47 innings, adjusted average 18.5, strike rate 63.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.89 per match at 24.0, economy 3.60, strike rate 40.0.
