Mitchell Varty (17)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 30 balls (SR 167), then 50 to 100 in just 27 (SR 185) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 3 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 6 matches (+2.4)
- ● Body of work — 25 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 61.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 103.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.7.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 25 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.44 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 535 runs in 21 innings, adjusted average 29.1, strike rate 61.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 1.11 per match at 13.7, economy 4.22, strike rate 19.4.
