Aaron Whelan
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 54 balls (SR 93), then 50 to 100 in just 31 (SR 161) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 75 imported matches (+1.5)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.45 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.63 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 121.
- ✓ Safe hands — 47 catches in 75 matches (0.63 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 62 × 40% · Batting 45 × 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 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 30 catches + 4 stumpings + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 75 matches — 0.49 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,450 runs in 75 innings, adjusted average 21.9, strike rate 65.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 6.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 75 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
