David Hinchcliffe
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 43 balls (SR 116), then 50 to 100 in just 33 (SR 152) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 10 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 7 matches (+1.1)
- ● Body of work — 43 imported matches (+0.9)
- ● Genuine all-rounder — strong in both disciplines (+8)
Critical recommendations
18 of 34 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 112.3) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 105.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.63.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 43 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting 73 × 30% · Bowling 71 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 5 run outs (4 direct, 1 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.49 per match.
- Batting
- 897 runs in 38 innings, adjusted average 26.1, strike rate 112.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 49 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.63 per match at 13.8, economy 3.63, strike rate 22.9.
