Nish Patel (19)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 82 balls (SR 61), then 50 to 100 in just 72 (SR 69) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 4 matches (+1.6)
- ● Regional representative — 15 matches (+2.2)
- ● Body of work — 53 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 60.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.39 for the level played (2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 6 · Club 2 · 4th grade 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 55 innings at 22.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 60.0 overs across 13 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 0.15 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
