Blake Meakes (17)
Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 12 matches (+4.8)
- ● Body of work — 15 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.13 catches per match over 15 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.
4 of 4 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.59.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.76 for the level played (State competition 4 · Rep Div 1 8 · Club 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.13 per match.
- Batting
- 84 runs in 7 innings, adjusted average 17.1, strike rate 100.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 15 matches — 1.07 per match at 17.8, economy 3.59, strike rate 29.8.
