Alexander Polglase (22)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 46 balls (SR 109), then 50 to 100 in just 17 (SR 294) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 62 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
25 of 43 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.
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 96.3) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 117.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 91 × 30% · Bowling 60 × 30%. 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 62 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- 1,096 runs in 53 innings, adjusted average 24.6, strike rate 96.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 42 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 62 played) — 0.93 per match at 21.9, economy 4.90, strike rate 26.8.
