Blake Klaassen (18)
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 1 match (+0.4)
- ● Body of work — 55 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.2 over 42 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 55 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 42 innings at 13.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 21 wickets from 91.2 overs across 32 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.66 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
