Carter Simpson (20)
A front-loaded hundred: a quick first fifty off 67 balls (SR 75), then 50 to 100 at a steadier 91 balls (SR 55).
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 8 matches (+3.2)
- ● Body of work — 48 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 62.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
28 of 37 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.8.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 127.
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 48 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting 66 × 30% · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · 2nd grade 2 · Club 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 1,150 runs in 41 innings, adjusted average 30.8, strike rate 62.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 53 wickets in 43 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 1.23 per match at 24.7, economy 4.65, strike rate 31.8.
