Sam McLeay
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 73 balls (SR 68), then 50 to 100 in just 52 (SR 96) — more than double the tempo.

- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.42 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.85 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 22 catches in 26 matches (0.85 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 26). 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: 15 catches + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.73 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 18.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 38.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.19 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
