Mason O’Neill (17)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 61 balls (SR 82), then 50 to 100 in just 27 (SR 185) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 8 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Premier or state pathway — 7 matches (+2.8)
- ● Body of work — 58 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Going at 5.95 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
34 of 43 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.52 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
- ✓ Safe hands — 30 catches in 58 matches (0.52 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling 22 × 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 7 · Club 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 10 run outs (2 direct, 8 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- 1,188 runs in 54 innings, adjusted average 26.5, strike rate 70.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 0.26 per match at 16.3, economy 5.95, strike rate 16.5.
