Mark Bourke
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 59 balls (SR 85), then 50 to 100 in just 44 (SR 114) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 29 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 64.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.10 catches per match over 29 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 101.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 6 × 40% · Batting 75 × 30% · 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- 622 runs in 26 innings, adjusted average 26.7, strike rate 64.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 8.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 0.10 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
