Aaron Thompson
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 65 balls (SR 77), then 50 to 100 in just 43 (SR 116) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 3 matches (+1.2)
- ● Body of work — 51 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
31 of 44 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 117.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling 15 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (State competition 3 · Club 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- 1,283 runs in 50 innings, adjusted average 28.7, strike rate 68.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 9 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 0.18 per match at 42.4, economy 5.16, strike rate 49.3.
