Aaron Castle
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 61 balls (SR 82), then 50 to 100 in just 22 (SR 227) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
15 of 20 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.81 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 100.9) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 190.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 26 matches (0.81 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting 93 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 6 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 20 catches + 0 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.77 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 437 runs in 23 innings, adjusted average 21.5, strike rate 100.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 40.0 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.31 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
