Drew McDonald
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 82 balls (SR 61), then 50 to 100 in just 23 (SR 217) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 13 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 52.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
6 of 12 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
0.69 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.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.12.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 13 matches (0.69 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 58 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling 70 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.

- Outfield: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.69 per match.

- 360 runs in 13 innings, adjusted average 29.8, strike rate 52.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
