Zane Caldwell
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 134 balls (SR 37), then 50 to 100 in just 100 (SR 50) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 23 matches (+9.2)
- ● Regional representative — 4 matches (+0.6)
- ● Body of work — 44 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 48.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
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 32.5.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 119.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 44 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting 67 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.62 for the level played (1st grade 5 · 2nd grade 18 · 3rd grade 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- 1,449 runs in 50 innings, adjusted average 32.5, strike rate 48.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 16.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
