Michael O'Sullivan
Representative pathway — 10 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 23 matches (+9.2)
- ● Body of work — 62 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 42.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
1.32 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 82 catches in 62 matches (1.32 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 14 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 92 × 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
- ×0.38 for the level played (2nd grade 20 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 39). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 81 catches + 14 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 62 matches — 1.53 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 53 innings at 17.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
