Liam Devaney
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 97 balls (SR 52), then 50 to 100 in just 54 (SR 93) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 7 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 7 matches (+2.8)
- ● Regional representative — 21 matches (+3.1)
- ● Body of work — 61 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 54.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.87 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 — 1 hundred(s), best of 105.
- ✓ Safe hands — 53 catches in 61 matches (0.87 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 62 × 40% · Batting 62 × 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
- ×0.46 for the level played (2nd grade 7 · 3rd grade 20 · 4th grade 1). 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
- Outfield: 36 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 61 matches — 0.64 per match.
- Batting
- 1,222 runs in 62 innings, adjusted average 21.6, strike rate 54.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 12.0 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 61 played) — 0.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
