Jacob Penberthy (17)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 44 balls (SR 114), then 50 to 100 in just 25 (SR 200) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 3 matches (+1.2)
- ● Body of work — 48 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 35.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.21 dismissals per match across 48 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.2.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.36 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 51 innings at 15.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 1.27 per match at 15.2, economy 4.33, strike rate 21.1.
