Tex McNamara (12)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 33 balls (SR 152), then 50 to 100 in just 31 (SR 161) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 8 matches (+3.2)
- ● Body of work — 52 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 54.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
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
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 109.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling 35 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 2 8 · Club 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 38 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 8 run outs (2 direct, 6 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- 613 runs in 43 innings, adjusted average 17.6, strike rate 54.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.56 per match at 19.3, economy 3.95, strike rate 29.3.
