Tom McSwiney (13)
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 9 matches (+3.6)
- ● Body of work — 42 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 49.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
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
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
- ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting 42 × 30% · Bowling 39 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (State competition 2 · Rep Div 1 9 · Club 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 12 run outs (4 direct, 8 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- 666 runs in 37 innings, adjusted average 23.4, strike rate 49.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.46 per match at 20.6, economy 3.67, strike rate 33.5.
