Sam Bell
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 64 balls (SR 78), then 50 to 100 in just 26 (SR 192) — more than double the tempo.

- ● Premier or state pathway — 7 matches (+2.8)
- ● Regional representative — 6 matches (+0.9)
- ● Body of work — 13 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
8 of 11 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
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.
0.54 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 105.
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 13 matches (0.54 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting 66 × 30% · Bowling 30 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (2nd grade 7 · 3rd grade 5 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.54 per match.
- Batting
- 301 runs in 12 innings, adjusted average 27.2, strike rate 76.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 5 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 0.62 per match at 42.4, economy 5.44, strike rate 46.8.
