Kade Martin (20)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 72 balls (SR 69), then 50 to 100 in just 48 (SR 104) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 3 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 5 matches (+2.0)
- ● Body of work — 54 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 52.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 54 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting 49 × 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
- ×0.38 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- 1,155 runs in 54 innings, adjusted average 23.8, strike rate 52.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 11 wickets from 53.0 overs across 17 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 0.20 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
