Harry van der Pligt (18)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 36 balls (SR 139), then 50 to 100 in just 26 (SR 192) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 17 matches (+2.5)
- ● Body of work — 55 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
17 of 32 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 103.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 64 × 30% · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.52 for the level played (Rep Div 1 17 · Club 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 38 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 7 run outs (2 direct, 5 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- 888 runs in 43 innings, adjusted average 25.9, strike rate 66.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 38 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.87 per match at 21.4, economy 3.45, strike rate 37.2.
