Michael Garske
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 121 balls (SR 41), then 50 to 100 in just 74 (SR 68) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 7 matches (+1.1)
- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 51.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
19 of 24 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.96 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 27 catches in 28 matches (0.96 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 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
- ×0.24 for the level played (Club 5 · 5th grade and below 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 20 catches + 5 stumpings + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 28 matches — 1.04 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 17.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 4.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
