Steve Carusi
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 90 balls (SR 56), then 50 to 100 in just 62 (SR 81) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 52.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.07 catches per match over 14 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 54.6.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 117.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 81 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.07 per match.
- Batting
- 713 runs in 14 innings, adjusted average 54.6, strike rate 52.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 17.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 14 played) — 0.21 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
