Drew Hughes (18)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 56 balls (SR 89), then 50 to 100 in just 45 (SR 111) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 8 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Premier or state pathway — 5 matches (+2.0)
- ● Regional representative — 5 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 45 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 45 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · 3rd grade 4 · Club 8 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 21.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 56 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 1.33 per match at 21.9, economy 3.96, strike rate 33.1.
