Brendan Palmer
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 55 balls (SR 91), then 50 to 100 in just 40 (SR 125) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 9 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 62 imported matches (+1.2)
- ● Genuine all-rounder — strong in both disciplines (+8)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.48 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 30.2.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 96.0) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 107.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 10.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.77.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 30 catches in 62 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 77 × 40% · Batting 82 × 30% · Bowling 78 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 30 catches + 5 run outs (4 direct, 1 assisted) in 62 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- 1,539 runs in 58 innings, adjusted average 30.2, strike rate 96.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
