Benjamin Hollow (19)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 76 balls (SR 66), then 50 to 100 in just 53 (SR 94) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 5 matches (+2.0)
- ● Regional representative — 10 matches (+1.5)
- ● Body of work — 33 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 57.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.30 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.45 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 100.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 33 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting 56 × 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
- ×0.67 for the level played (Rep Div 1 13 · Club 2 · 4th grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- 611 runs in 29 innings, adjusted average 22.5, strike rate 57.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
