Michael O'Keefe
Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 27 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.08 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.
Economy of 3.02 is excellent but a wicket every 54 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 50.6.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 101.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.66 for the level played (1st grade 27 · Club 9). 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
- Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.11 per match.
- Batting
- 1,363 runs in 32 innings, adjusted average 50.6, strike rate 81.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 1.00 per match at 27.1, economy 3.02, strike rate 53.7.
