🥈 Sam Wallwork (19)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 74 balls (SR 68), then 50 to 100 in just 48 (SR 104) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 2 matches (+0.3)
- ● Body of work — 64 imported matches (+1.3)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 60.5 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.
Only 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
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 — 30 catches in 64 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 66 × 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
- ×0.24 for the level played (4th grade 1 · 5th grade and below 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 2 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 9 run outs (4 direct, 5 assisted) in 64 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 58 innings at 22.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 25.0 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 64 played) — 0.05 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
