Chris Buckley
Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 11 matches (+4.4)
- ● Body of work — 14 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
9 of 11 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.64 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 93.1) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.91.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 14 matches (0.64 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 69 × 40% · Batting 58 × 30% · Bowling 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (3rd grade 11 · Club 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.71 per match.
- Batting
- 257 runs in 13 innings, adjusted average 22.8, strike rate 93.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 14 played) — 2.08 per match at 13.0, economy 2.91, strike rate 26.9.
