Nicholas Taranto
A front-loaded hundred: a quick first fifty off 60 balls (SR 83), then 50 to 100 at a steadier 67 balls (SR 75).
Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 30 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 38 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 57.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.3.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 108.
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 38 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting 71 × 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
- ×0.82 for the level played (1st grade 30 · Club 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- 995 runs in 38 innings, adjusted average 30.3, strike rate 57.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 9.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
