Dominic Bess
A front-loaded hundred: a quick first fifty off 57 balls (SR 88), then 50 to 100 at a steadier 62 balls (SR 81).
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 9 matches (+3.6)
- ● Body of work — 20 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
15 of 20 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 3.84 is excellent but a wicket every 66 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.40 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 105.
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 20 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 45 × 30% · Bowling 22 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- 494 runs in 21 innings, adjusted average 24.6, strike rate 83.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 20 matches — 1.25 per match at 42.1, economy 3.84, strike rate 65.8.
