Thomas Vanderslik
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 98 balls (SR 51), then 50 to 100 in just 58 (SR 86) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 9 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 22 matches (+8.8)
- ● Body of work — 34 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 57.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 116.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.43.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting 65 × 30% · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (3rd grade 21 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- 399 runs in 27 innings, adjusted average 18.6, strike rate 57.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 39 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 1.22 per match at 22.2, economy 3.43, strike rate 38.8.
