Jake Goncalves (29)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 64 balls (SR 78), then 50 to 100 in just 40 (SR 125) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 61.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.08 catches per match over 36 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 11% 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 112.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.72.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting 58 × 30% · Bowling 62 × 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- 483 runs in 27 innings, adjusted average 19.9, strike rate 61.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 39 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 1.34 per match at 17.5, economy 3.72, strike rate 28.2.
