Darcy Roberts (18)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 81 balls (SR 62), then 50 to 100 in just 39 (SR 128) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 6 matches (+0.9)
- ● Body of work — 55 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.4 over 49 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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.
0.42 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.47 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 55 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 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
- ×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 17 catches + 6 stumpings + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.51 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 49 innings at 14.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 12 wickets from 61.7 overs across 21 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.22 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
