Cooper Lawson (16)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 64 balls (SR 78), then 50 to 100 in just 56 (SR 89) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 7 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 13 matches (+5.2)
- ● Body of work — 67 imported matches (+1.3)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 57.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.49 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 33 catches in 67 matches (0.49 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.78 for the level played (Rep Div 1 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 32 catches + 6 run outs (3 direct, 3 assisted) in 67 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 63 innings at 23.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 45 wickets from 222.0 overs across 44 matches bowled in (of 67 played) — 1.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
