Mitchell Thomas (26)
A front-loaded hundred: a quick first fifty off 40 balls (SR 125), then 50 to 100 at a steadier 53 balls (SR 94).
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 2 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 75 imported matches (+1.5)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 63.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
42 of 57 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.79 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 — 2 hundred(s), best of 105.
- ✓ Safe hands — 59 catches in 75 matches (0.79 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting 68 × 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
- ×0.34 for the level played (State competition 2 · Club 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 35 catches + 4 stumpings + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 75 matches — 0.59 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,373 runs in 60 innings, adjusted average 24.0, strike rate 63.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 6.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 75 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
