Patrick Farrell
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 62 balls (SR 81), then 50 to 100 in just 44 (SR 114) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 9 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 20 matches (+8.0)
- ● Regional representative — 1 match (+0.1)
- ● Body of work — 53 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 56.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
31 of 43 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 127.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 53 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting 76 × 30% · Bowling 31 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.59 for the level played (2nd grade 20 · 3rd grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- 1,138 runs in 49 innings, adjusted average 26.1, strike rate 56.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 1.21 per match at 22.3, economy 3.45, strike rate 38.7.
