Kai Osborne
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 92 balls (SR 54), then 50 to 100 in just 47 (SR 106) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 29 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
16 of 27 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.
Only 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.45 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 31.8.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 119.
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 29 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting 74 × 30% · Bowling 49 × 30%. 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.62 per match.
- Batting
- 867 runs in 30 innings, adjusted average 31.8, strike rate 65.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 0.94 per match at 25.8, economy 4.57, strike rate 33.8.
