Nicholas Bragger (20)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 114 balls (SR 44), then 50 to 100 in just 65 (SR 77) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 3 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 3 matches (+1.2)
- ● Regional representative — 10 matches (+1.5)
- ● Body of work — 17 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 47.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
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.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 108.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 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
- ×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · 3rd grade 1 · 4th grade 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- 321 runs in 16 innings, adjusted average 21.3, strike rate 47.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 16.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
