JACK KIRBY (18)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 123 balls (SR 41), then 50 to 100 in just 67 (SR 75) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 6 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Premier or state pathway — 3 matches (+1.2)
- ● Body of work — 25 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 63.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.44 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 125.
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 25 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting 66 × 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
- ×0.43 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- 792 runs in 28 innings, adjusted average 30.3, strike rate 63.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 21.3 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.40 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
