Nicholas Hammond
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 60 balls (SR 83), then 50 to 100 in just 35 (SR 143) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 10 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
6 of 6 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 40.5.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 128.9) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 115.
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 10 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 88 × 30% · 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 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 4 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 10 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- 289 runs in 10 innings, adjusted average 40.5, strike rate 128.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 37.0 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 10 played) — 0.62 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
