Sam Hunter (13)
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 7 matches (+2.8)
- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.6 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.11 catches per match over 36 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 30 × 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: 4 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 8.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.62 per match at 21.2, economy 3.77, strike rate 33.7.
